Okay, proggers, or however someone may think of oneself, how about moving forward and after the classics (mostly from the '70s) put some more focus on the '80s. I think that will be quite interesting, as well. So beginning with some of my Prog Rock favourites, one album per band and unranked: Agnus (ARG) - Pinturas Y Expresiones (1980) Asia Minor (TRK/F) - Between Flash And Divine (1980) Bacamarte (BRA) - Depois Do Fim (1983) Bi Kyo Ran (J) - Bi Kyo Ran (1982) Crimson Glory (USA) - “Crimson Glory” (1986) Djam Karet (USA) - Reflections From The Firepool (1989) Eskaton (F) - 4 Visions (1979, 1981) Fates Warning (USA) - The Spectre Within (1985) The “Gunesh” Ensemble (USSR) - Looking At The Earth ( Halloween (F) - Part One (1988) Iconoclasta (Mex) - Reminiscencias (1985) Los Jaivas (Chile) - Alturas de Machu Pichu (1981) Marillion (UK) - Script For A Jester’s Tear (1983) P.L.J. Band (Gre) - Armageddon (1982) Solaris (HUN) - Marsbeli Kronikak (1984) Some additional: Collegium Musicum (TCH) - Divergences (1983) Agamemnon (CH) - Agamemnon, Part I&II (1981) Pendragon (UK) - The Jewel (1985) And I hope, you'll enjoy it, and all the best to all of you, guys!

I've now removed all of the Live albums and 4-star albums from my original list, bringing the total nicely down to fifteen hot favourites.

Well, that certainly doesn't bother me, Paul, because as you know I praise "quality above quantity". ![]() I'm a bit suprised, though, why you just didn't edit your original post. ![]() |

Mainly because it didn't occur to me to remove the Live and 4-star albums at the time of my original post.

So the 80's were a long break for me from the realm of Progressive Rock, and actually I first began get into the 80's Prog about 20 years ago. Today, I certainly find some of it interesting and good, even in general not as good as what I'm most fond of from the 70's.
