I agree with you. It's just a very lazy association of ideas propagated by the 'trendier than thou' in our culture.

Nope! It's my first pick coming into this thread. No reservations, no shame, that album is the pinnacle of what everyone despised about prog rock, and for that reason alone it's an artistic gem worthy of praise! Yes took it all the way. Those boys knew their power.

I know what over the top means some abbreviations are obvious, some are not. which prog artists jumped the shark, musically that is?

Okay, as promised, here's the first of my pretentious over-the-top prog album choices, and I absolutely love it!

Another contender maybe. Orchestra and each band member has a side. One is devoted to a piano concerto devised by a rock musician. No one is having any fun on this album , especially the listener

I never liked "Brain Salad Surgery", or "Bull S**t S**t", as I call it, and not because of "Benny the Bouncer" (I actually like that song). What I dislike the most is that they split up "Karn Evil 9"; that really pisses me off. But the whole overall sound is bland and the musical colours used are dull and repetitive, unlike their other albums. As for a pretentious albums I love: This: Edited by BaldFriede - July 01 2020 at 11:54 |

If OTT means cheesy and slightly ridiculous, then I guess I will have to nominate Into The Electric Castle by Ayreon (or possibly other Ayreon albums)...
Love them to bits, but yes they're OTT!!!

I almost forgot! Welcome - Welcome (1976). It's super over the top and the lyrics are pretentious as hell. But darn. It's an awesome album.
