^Wow, or something. I didn't expect to see an MCR fan here! It's a brave move to include an MCR album in a list like this on this website. I quite like the song Dead! from that album by the way. Not much more though...
-
I currently feel like listing these:
Calvary - Outnumbered is Outflanked Helmet - Meantime Popsicle - Popsicle The Chameleons - Script of the Bridge Tool - Ænima Ordination of Aaron - Completed Works Kayo Dot - Choirs of the Eye My Bloody Valentine - Ecstasy and Wine Dinosaur Jr. - Bug Three - Dark Days Coming
This list will change any minute. The Three in the list is not the New Prog band, but an old Post-Hardcore band who released a very good album in 1987.

Even though they're one of my favorite bands, I don't even think MCR is really that great. A ton of people hate them and I can see why. However, I really think The Black Parade was a great emulation of everything I liked about rock in the 70s.... over the top, bombastic, artsy.... and having loved that era so much (note Queen II, A Night at the Opera, and The Wall all in my top 10) I don't care if it's an emulation (if your gonna emulate something, emulate the best I guess) and despite being only competent musicians, they are excellent writers. I was literally shocked when I heard that album, I didn't think that MCR could put out something like Black Parade, it never lets up and I really think it's a classic album.

I haven't listened to it in its entirety, but I have read some good reviews of it. Might give it a thorough listen some time.

hahhaha..no.... just learned there is more to PM...than..... they who hath no name.
seriously though.... I love that album.. from the first listen... and
is the only non-RPI album that sits presently in the CD
changer. Far and away the best PM album I've heard.. though I
have so much still to hear. I listened to Agalloch's 'The Mantle'
last night... and that album 'grabbed' me. Putting that on
again.. as a matter of fact.

1. Thirteenth Step - A Perfect Circle 2. In Absentia - Porcupine Tree 3. Mer De Noms - A Perfect Circle 4. The Sky Moves Sideways - Porcupine Tree 5. Second Life Syndrome - Riverside 6. Everyone into Position - Oceansize 7. Out of Myself - Riverside 8. Fantastic Planet - Failure 9. El Cielo - dredg
Well... I got nine, I'm really uncertain about a tenth.
