Yes - Heart of the Sunrise Porcupine Tree - Arriving Somewhere But Not Here Phish - Chalk Dust Torture King Crimson - Starless Dream Theater - Sacrificed Sons Radiohead - Paranoid Android Rush - Xanadu Baroness - Rays on Pinion Pink Floyd - Dogs Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells Part 1 Primus - Tommy the Cat (of course) Opeth - The Drapery Falls Frank Zappa - It Just Might Be a One Shot Deal Jethro Tull - Ring Out Solstice Bells Agalloch - In the Shadow of Our Pale Companion ELO - Kuiama Kansas - Song for America Bigelf - Money Machine U.K. - Nevermore Kate Bush - The Ninth Wave I could keep on doing this all day because I know I'll just keep kicking myself thinking of others I could have added in. Edit: I realized I had a Porcupine Tree and a Steven Wilson track in there, so in order to better follow the rules and not repeat artists, I changed it to Frank Zappa, because ..... well...... Frank Zappa!

Hi, Mine would be way too difficult to put together. I have over 700 hours of Space Pirate Radio shows (330 1974-1980 and the rest all from the Twitch show in 3 or 4 hour segments) ... and the variety and mood changes and quality of the material far surpasses the idea of "song" and its listing. To me, it has to be a "trip" and even though I have already done a show on the Internet (1999/2000 The Space), I would not be able to select individual pieces that would be satisfying from minute to minute and then the mood has to change ... and for that reason my show at that time was specific to a band with 2 to 3 hours worth of their material. I may do this again, but have not exactly decided on anything at this time, but compiling a list of "favorites" for me would be not satisfying at all ... I would want more of one artist, and not get taken away from it ... that's how hard and deep I listen to so much music ... I kinda live inside it, if you will and the "experience" is more important than anything else. ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

Hi, BTW ... I doubt we would make an "album" these days ... it would be all mp3'd ... making it even harder to make a listing that made sense at all! Maybe we can find more pieces about teachers for all of you FM listeners of old! Or midnight something or other!

No, I designate the time for an album, usually. If interrupted, I just continue where I left off. The concept of a prog "best of " makes no sense to me, yet albums do. I see a prog LP as a mixture of long & shorter tunes (or segues) with emphasis placed on flow.

Interesting list but have to correct you on the ELP song, it's Living Sin (not ''Living In Sin''). Certainly one of their weirder songs with almost a Doors vibe, in fact a Doors song would probably go with that list nicely!

^Sometimes I want to listen to Soft Machine's Virtually Part I-IV without playing the A-side first. Or maybe an emotional rollercoaster such as A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers is all the VdGG I can take in one go. I don't know why that is frowned upon by so many. To me it's simnilar to looking at one painting and not a full exhibition - or seeing one episode instead of binging a full season. +whenever I check out new music (which is basically every day), I rarely listen to albums in full, but primarely check if it's worth my listening time. For later. -------------

I’m going to make mine a mixture of long and short(er), as 20 long songs makes a very long album/playlist! Also old and new, and heavy and light!

If your prog 'album' spans several hours, more power to you. I read what the OP said, and my album would resemble more or less an actual album (song wise and runtime) consisting of the provided criteria. Some people find it strange that I'm a so called "album listener" in general? Well.... And Ofc I'm not exclusively restricted to it lol

I feel the need to adjust the order of these, based on further consideration: 03: King Crimson - 21st Century Schizoid Man 04: Hawkwind - Opa Loka 05: Pink Floyd - Echoes 06: Supertramp - Rudy In the case of King Crimson - 21st Century Schizoid Man, the original position (10) was based on when I first heard the album, rather than my first exposure to the track, which I heard a number of times on the radio starting from much earlier. It was a favourite song. I got the albums Split Enz - Mental Notes and Supertramp - Crime Of The Century at the same time, but I first heard the song Split Enz - Maybe when it first came out much earlier. I loved that song (along with Supertramp - Bloody Well Right, though I was not a fan of Supertramp - Dreamer) but wasn't impressed with the rest of the album until I heard it again somewhat later. Thus, Supertramp - Rudy has to be placed later in the list. My first exposure to Hawkwind was an interview on the radio with Nik Turner. During that interview in the background was played Opa Loka (and what effective background music that was!). But it wasn't until later that I got Space Ritual and Warrior On The Edge Of Time and into Hawkwind in general. That was because of a long track I heard on the radio starting from halfway through, which was not identified at the time, which I thought might have been Hawkwind, making them a place to start looking. My search of Hawkwind didn't yield anything but a love for Hawkwind. It wasn't until later that I fortuitously discovered that the track I was seeking was a bootleg version of Pink Floyd - Echoes. I should say that positions 11-16 in the original list, corresponding to the years 1977-78, was when my musical taste changed from Heavy Metal/Hard Rock to Progressive Rock, and was an especially active period for me musically. Thus, I don't really recall the precise order for these albums. In the case of the album Stanley Clarke - Journey To Love, it took several listens for it to transform from tediously boring to very much loved. The position of the track is more closely when I got the album rather than when I fell in love with it. ------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man. |
