| What is your NUMBER 1# progressive rock album? For me it is either Selling England by the Pound - Genesis, or, The Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd |

| Well, anoyone who says it's either this or that, don't really have a number one prog album. Just like me. I've often felt like "this is my favorite album", but for me it will always change. |

Albums I've at some point thought of - or felt was my number one prog / PA-relevant album: Genesis - Nyrsery Cryme King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King VdGG - Pawn Hearts Magma - St (aka Kobaļa) Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom Comus - First Utterance Art Zoyd - Generations Sans Futur Univers Zero - St (aka 1313) Soft Machine - Third Gong - You Herbie Hancock - Crossings ... I guess at some point after that (a coulpe of decades ago), I stopped believing I was the kind of person to have a number one all time favorite. But who knows, maybe I simply haven't heard my favorite (prog)album yet. (also Radiohead - Kid A/Amnesiac, Residents - Duck Stab/Buster and Glen, Swans - Children of God, Kate Bush - The Dreaming... but I did not relate any of them with anything prog at the time of thinking that way) |

I just don't have one, I'm afraid. The one which over the years has probably been most important to me would be SEBtP which I think is practically flawless, but it doesn't get played as much today as it did say 35 years ago? ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson |

I don't have one either. I don't listen to SEbtP much today either, but I did overplay it.  Still one of my favorite albums.

All the Genesis, Yes & Rush albums in particular long ago reached saturation point for me, to the point where I wonder whether there really is any need to listen to them again? ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

Not an easy question. Meddle, Trilogy, Moonmadness, CttE ... maybe one of them, or maybe not ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

Van der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts And I still listen to it often. ------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man. |

For 45 years, now, mine has been The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. It has never wavered though my discovery of Magma's MDK 18 years ago nearly shattered The Lamb's hold on #1. ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

Hi, Goodness ... I have 2K+ CD's of favorites and at least 1500 LP's of favorites. The day I can decide on one of them, I will likely be gone and long ashed out to the river to feed the salmon!  ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!
