We all have our mega prog albums in our collection. Maybe it's YES "Close to the edge" or GENESIS "Selling England ...". But what is the album that you don't dare to recommend to others because it seems not to be important enough. But you like it very much. Even knowing that it is not what the masses are wanting- What is your silent star of the albums? I will tell you my star at the end of the thread. If there is any. Cheers ------------- YES - Close to the edge / UK - UK / GENESIS - The lamb lies down / KING CRIMSON - Discipline / MIKE OLDFIELD - Tubular bells / JETHRO TULL - Aqualung / GENTLE GIANT - Three friends / TMO - IMF |

Why don't you tell your "silent star" to begin with. This thread doesn't deserve a reply, therefore, I replied. Hamburger Concerto. |

Not my favorite album, but I would not risk recommending Trout Mask Replica to anyone, while I like it very much ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ocellatedgod" rel="nofollow - last.fm |

Ok, you are right. Thank you. I should name my silent lover. It is: CURVED AIR - "Air cut". This album is so well made, so tense, so variable, so fine composed, that I have to make it my silent lover. Of course I have all the major albums - and I like them. But this album is for me the silent winner. Imagiine: it is a female voice (Sonja Kristina) that leads the music. If you listen to "Easy" you will find, that this voice is going over the top of all female performances in prog rock. And Eddie Jobson is giving - perhaps - his most concrete statement in his musical career. Just my opinion. Cheers ------------- YES - Close to the edge / UK - UK / GENESIS - The lamb lies down / KING CRIMSON - Discipline / MIKE OLDFIELD - Tubular bells / JETHRO TULL - Aqualung / GENTLE GIANT - Three friends / TMO - IMF |

Miles Davis - Bitches Brew. A masterpiece of both the rock and jazz genres.
John McLaughlin of Mahavishnu Orchestra on guitar, playing sometimes in a heavy rock style. Cant figure out why Miles isnt considered prog, and yet dubious prog stuff like Deep Purple is. Not bashing Deep Purple, I like them, but Miles is light years ahead of them and many others in taking rock in an entirely unique new direction. ------------- Tim FM, Nash the Slash, Camel |

#1 - Mallard - In a Different Climate Runner up - Fleetwod Mac - Heroes are Hard to Find Very well done albums. Deserve to be here, but happy to keep them to myself  ------------- Two heads are better than one, but if you want something done right, do it yourself. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, but better safe than sorry. Look before you leap, but he who hesitates is lost |

2 albums that critics seem to like, but you don't really hear about THAT much (certainly not as much as CTTE or DSOTM).
ROXY MUSIC - FOR YOUR PLEASURE APHRODITE'S CHILD - 666 Both absolutely fantastic. You NEEEEEEEEED to listen to them. DO IT! ------------- And Jesus said unto John, "come forth and receive eternal life..." Unfortunately, John came fifth and was stuck with a toaster. |
