To me, it has to be sh*tstorm by Strapping young lad.

And you? (NOTE - Shocking does not mean bad. The list of ways in which a piece of music can be shocking would be endless)

Since the example given by the OT is SYL, who are not a Prog band, I've moved this thread to General Music Discussions
What?

Maybe "shocking" is not the right word. How about massive, dynamic, intense? Big smile

Dare I say that I found "The Goat and the Donkey" by the Bald Angels to be quite shocking when I heard it. Wink

Things lose their shock value over time, they get "one upped" again and again. I remember being shocked when I heard KCs Red and Lark's Tongues in Aspic (the tracks not the discs). I was shocked when I heard Zappa sing Broken Hearts are for A*******, especially because I heard it the first time at a live show. "Shocking" is definitely relative.

I would suggest listening to Diamanda Gallas for the first time as a quite shocking experience.

Zombie Ritual - Death was pretty shocking in its time. But the most shocking album I ever heard (still quite shocking today) is Scum - Napalm Death.

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.
