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.

I maintain that King Crimson has never released a truly bad album, though they have a couple subpar ones. Pink Floyd comes close but their subpar albums are much lower so I'm not sure I'd give it to them.

[let's leave bootlegs out of it; they are illegal, so] For me, there are not many that fit that category, but those that do are: Gentle Giant-Even their later less progressive rock records I like-their whole catalogue is appealing to me Atomic Rooster-a band that went through many personnel changes, well, I listen to all of their different phases and like everything they recorded no matter how different they may sound... Dzyan-this band had four releases and each one is kind of unique, but I like them all considering that.... Who qualifies for you?

What, not Triumvirate?? Heh!!

Mine would include:

a) Flash - they came & went in a flash, only three studio LPs and a few boots...

b) Captain Beyond (prog related) - I'm a big fan of Rhino, RIP!

c) Mahavishnu Orchestra - even their weaker efforts were sublime in my book!

d) Return to Forever - same!!   From their earliest days to the end, amazing stuff.

Off the top of my head, I enjoy the entire ouevre of Änglagård, Shamblemaths and Homonculus Res.
