==List of Classic Era Prog Albums That Are 35 Minutes in Length==

I was laughing when listening to Moving Pictures, thinking "lame album, only 35 minutes long".

Then I realized it was 5 minutes longer than that. Not much longer but enough to remove the "lame" tag for me.

Then I remembered it was actually 2112 that was 35 minutes long. But then I checked, it was actually close to 39 minutes.

Now I'm confused. I really do remember a classic era prog album with the laughable length of 35 minutes. I just can't remember which one. Care to solve the puzzle for me?



What a load of sh*t. You really think an album is lame due to the fact it's less than 50 minutes or how ever the f**k you grade them? That's really stupid.   
New album!

I usually find myself disappointed at short albums.  I sorted by size and scanned the titles around that length and it's not always the case.  
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Put it this way, I never say, and don't think I ever have said "this album is too short."

I think I may have done. You wait a year or more for an album and 30 minutes is a bit cheap. i would probably have said the album was a bit short rather bthan too short.

Although Van halen albums usede to around the 30 minmark and  never complaIne so,,,,

It's easier to make a long album short than a short album long.  Snip snip. Wink

I am going to sort my albums in order of running time - OK first cab off the rank is Transatlantic's "More Never Is Enough" which clocks in at a whopping 190 minutes. Of brilliant prog!

But Vander isn't the best at anything.

Sorry I don't want to do this. Unlike you I don't want to put any band down by sl*g.ing the members. You win. I just can't get into your type of trolling.

Truth be told one of the characteristics that got me into the prog was the song and album lengths. I mean 10 min. songs are just cool, however many can suffer from filler.

LOL

My thought was, if someone can listen to it for 30 minutes and not kill themselves, couldn't they go another 5-10 minutes?

"Neu! 2" where they ran out of money half way through and resorted to playing tracks at half speed, double speed, sticking fingers in tape machines etc.
