Prog Artists You Like Everything Of

My brother from another mother!

If we broaden the margins to include hard rock and metal, I cannot agree more! The Elves/Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, his own band Dio, Heaven and Hell, and his guest appearances (especially on Kerry Livgren's Seeds of Change)...Ronnie was a singer's singer and the consummate frontman with a voice like no other.

Oops! I forgot Djam Karet. I own and love everything they've done.

I agree with Frost*……but Marillion? You love everything they’ve ever done?! Look, I’m a big fan of theirs too, but there are very mediocre albums IMO and I’m surprised if there isn’t something you have issues with? Radiation? Somewhere Else?🤷‍♂️🙂

It Bites for me. And nearly IQ, but Resistance is poor, again just my opinion😊

Zombi, easily.

The only reason the honor escapes Goblin is because of Volo.

Vangelis (even some of his weirder stuff).

Unfortunately I don't quite feel that way. Rush have a better track record than most and may even be my favorite band but they have a few albums I'm not that fond of such as Snakes and Arrows, Test for Echo and especially Vapor Trails. I wouldn't even say Roll The Bones is very good but I like it anyway. Most of everything else they did is pretty top notch or close to it.

Russian Roulette. 💀         You hit the nail on the head; I cannot stand their album Russian Roulette-the only thing of theirs I don't like, though... Ha! I was teasing you, of course! I'm not familiar with Russian Roulette and will give it a listen! Also, I forgot that Flash had one final CD release, with Ray Bennett and Colin Carter. Flash Featuring Ray Bennett & Colin Carter

      
        no worries, Chuck! Let me know what you think of Russian Roulette....

Hmmm. I like bands that try out something new regularly, and then they easily put out something that I don't like a lot.

Anyway, I consider myself fan, and like every album of North Sea Radio Orchestra, Sonar, Kong. Of those already named Univers Zero, Cardiacs, Magma qualify. With Camel it depends on how high the bar is. I find all their albums enjoyable to some extent (yes, even Single Factor) but there are clearly weaker ones. This probably applies to a number of bands. Art Zoyd are all great other than the Pure Noise album, which is a bit of a joke.

How do you figure?? Electric Silence and Time Machine are very similer to my ears. Didn't know they has an archival live release, thx. Will look for it.

Their is their self titled debut album from 1972, and the archival "Mandala" recorded also in 1972....

All Traps On Earth. Never released a bad album. Not a SINGLE one. And that my friends, is very impressive.

Glass Hammer perhaps. Some of their stuff can be a bit Meh but I wouldn't avoid anything they have done and am an enthusiastic advocate for their 'pop' record Three Cheers For The Broken Hearted.

Of the classic era bands Camel perhaps come the closest as stated but unfortunately there is the Single Factor.

VDGG also possibly as I've yet to hear anything by them I dislike.
