Talking of "Weirdings", I spent ages looking through the Top 10 Lists Forum for this old thread yesterday, only to discover it was posted in the Prog Music Lounge instead. Embarrassed

Paul...you mentioned AStra ......both their lps are wonderful imho....melodic yet heavy space rock with both guitar and keys. I like Black Chord a bit better than Weirding.

I have both of Astra's albums on CD. They're cosmic! Thumbs Up

I was planning to do a Top 20 list originally, but there were just too many great artists beginning with the letter "A", so it became a Top 30 by default, when I could easily have added another ten artists and albums to make it a Top 40 list. Smile

Big fan of the Alan Parsons Project. My go to fav is I Robot. Other top tier albums of theirs are Tales of Mystery and Imagination, Turn of a Friendly Card, and Eye In The Sky. IMO they don't have any bad albums and none the I still won't occasionally listen to. As they went on the "progginess" of the albums decreased.

I like them too!

Interesting....so Pyramid doesn't strike a chord with you as much as the other 4?

Here's an underground gem...

Affinity - s/t (1970)

This Linda Hoyle, I love her voice...so rich, moody, if even seductive. Wonder if she was good lookin Wink

Asia Minor - Crossing the Line

I like also a lot Between Flesh and Divine, but I guess I'm most fond of Crossing the Line with its warmer sound and feel,

and being like more exotic.

Arena - own 7 albums. Favourite - The Visitor, which is a masterpiece of the highest order, though Contagion, Songs From the Lions' Cage, The Seventh Degree of Separation and the Unquiet Sky are all superb albums as well.

Just wondering but have people forgotten about All Traps On Earth? Anglagard are getting a lot of mentions but not their 'sister band'.

EDIT - having read the post I see that people are excluding them because there is only one album (so not a 'handful') . So the rules are that a band has to have at least x number of albums and that you own x at least?

The intent of this thread is to mention bands with at least a selection of albums under their belt, and preferably to pick the one you enjoy most from your collection.

It's important to remember that these kinds of topics become subjective and loosely followed because everyone's tastes and collections differ. I cannot fault anyone at this point bc it's a good exercise nonetheless.

^It would appear so.
