I subscribed just so I can listen to it a bit. It's apparently not top 30 but top 20.

Yeah, they DJs were definitely saying "top 30" around the time I made the thread, but I think they ended up changing their mind to keep the show shorter. 

Anyway, here is the list:

20 - Asia - Asia
19 - Moody Blues - In Search of the Lost Chord
18 - Alan Parsons Project - I Robot
17 - Supertramp - Breakfast in America
16- Jethro Tull - Aqualung
15 - Kansas - Point of No Return
14 - Genesis - A Trick of the Tail
13 - Rush - Hemispheres
12 - ELP - Brain Salad Surgery
11 - Yes - Fragile
10 - Kansas - Left Overture
9 - Genesis - Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
8 - Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick
7 - Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
6 - Moody Blues - Days of Future Past
5 - Rush - 2112
4 - ELP - Emerson, Lake & Palmer
3 - King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
2 - Yes - Close to the Edge
1 - Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon

I was about to post it just now but you beat me to it. Thanks though. Probably no real surprises on there but I would like to mention a few albums that I think could have made the top 20:

Gentle Giant -Octopus
King Crimson - Red
Yes - The Yes Album
Genesis - Selling England By the Pound
ELP - Tarkus
Rush - Moving Pictures


By the way, not a big deal but you copied and pasted that list from the progressive ears website didn't you? Wink

Nope, from the notes section of my phone from when I was listening yesterday. But I posted it over there first yesterday. That’s me.

Oh ok. I was close (but not to the edge ;)).

Yes, pretty much expected

2 x Pink Floyd
2 x Genesis
2 x ELP
2 x Yes
2 x Jethro Tull
2 x Kansas
2 x Moody Blues
2 x Rush
Plus King Krimson, Alan Parsons, Supertramp, Asia

The only one that's questionable IMO is Asia, not really "essential" Prog
(Though I like Asia)

LoL!

A little to much psychedelic in my Prog today.

I still have XM because it sure beats whatever the local Pop/cRAP station is playing when I travel.

Still furious that they dropped the Prog "Music Lab" channel from the lineup.

That happened a long time ago now. I think they sacked it in 2005 or so. The Music Lab was only around for about a year. However, I remember they played jam band stuff too. I'm not really sure why they dropped it other than they thought there wasn't enough interest in  it. I don't think the dj who did it was the best person for the job anyway. These days your better off just listening to prog internet radio although you can't really listen to that in your car.
