This came form longer list of male and female music artists. These are 25 male artists with one album as chosen by the album ratings at Rate Your Music. Most are in PA, but I added some faves of mine not in PA that I consider to be at least prog related. I plan on doing the part two at some time (if this had just been about my favourites then I would have gone with quite a few different artists and various different albums). Feel free to vote for up to five albums from the list that you appreciate/like. Kevin Ayers: Joy of a Toy Ayreon: Into the Electric Castle: A Space Opera Syd Barrett: The Madcap Laughs David Bowie: The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars Glenn Branca: The Ascension Leonard Cohen: Songs of Leonard Cohen Miles Davis: In a Silent Way Nick Drake: Pink Moon Edgar Froese: Epsilon in Malaysian Pale Peter Gabriel: Peter Gabriel 3 (Melt) Serge Gainsbourg: Histoire de Melody Nelson Steve Hackett: Voyage of the Acolyte Peter Hammill: The Silent Corner and the Empty Stage Herbie Hancock: Head Hunters Allan Holdsworth: i.o.u. Al Di Meola: Elegant Gypsy Neal Morse: Sola Scriptura Mike Oldfield: Ommadawn Jean-Luc Ponty: Cosmic Messenger Klaus Schulze: "X" Sufjan Stevens: Illinois Vangelis: Blade Runner Scott Walker: Scott 4 Steven Wilson: The Raven That Refused to Sing (And Other Stories) Robert Wyatt: Rock Bottom ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I observed before. It can be much like that with music for me; immersed in experiencing the moment. |

| Steven Wilson. Raven is my favorite Prog album post late 70s. A Top 10 album for me in the Prog World. No album since the release of Rush's Moving Pictures has been played more. |
