The selections is collected from the Rate Your Music all-genres/all-time music chart, and I have included ones that are in Prog Archives Prog categories. The numbers beside the albums show the chart position at RYM. Please vote for a favourite and mention that and any others that you find particularly notable in a post. Thanks. Gentle Giant - In a Glass House (1433) Porcupine Tree - Arriving Somewhere... (1567) Premiata Forneria Marconi - Per un amico (1602) Zappa - The Best Band You Never Heard in Your Life (1626) Jethro Tull - Songs From the Wood (1639) Renaissance - Turn of the Cards (1716) Neurosis - Enemy of the Sun (1744) Yellow Magic Orchestra - Solid State Survivor (1750) Pain of Salvation - The Perfect Element I (1755) Jeff Wayne - The War of the Worlds (1759) Eddie Henderson - Realization (1771) Tangerine Dream - Phaedra (1774) Khan - Space Shanty (1781) Tortoise - TNT (1790) Roxy Music - Roxy Music (1791) Opeth - Morningrise (1792) Peter Gabriel - Peter Gabriel 4 (1797) Crimson Glory - Crimson Glory (1803) Santana - Lotus (1806) Franco Battiato - La voce del padrone (1812) Banco del Mutuo Soccorso - Banco del Mutuo Soccorso (1813) Queensr˙che - Operation:LIVEcrime (1816) Steely Dan - Pretzel Logic (1821) Todd Rundgren - Something / Anything? (1844) Rush - Rush in Rio (1833) I find it interesting that most of my favourites in the list are clumped together by ranking: The Eddie Henderson, Tangerine Dream, Khan and Tortoise. My other favourite is the BdSM. And below that is the Gentle Giant (which I still like very much). With PFM, I do prefer the past poll's selection considerably. While I am sure that all of my mentions above (including Per un Amico) have got my vote in other polls over the years, it came down to Eddie Henderson's Realization (which I wrote a five star review for) and Tangerine Dream's Phaedra. I was quite confident that I was going to vote for Realisation when I cam to it in the chart, but then three below I saw Phaedra and Realised that my confidence was presumptuous. I called Pheadra the dreaded Phaedra when I first heard it many years ago, and had preferred every TD album that came before it, but then I returned to it one day and LOVED it. It also is presented as an option in Black Mirror's interactive Bandersnatch Netflix presentation -- something I love. Should you pick Tangerine Dream's Phaedra and Isao Tomita's The Bermuda Triangle? (from Bandersnatch). So it's the once dreaded Phaedra for me. Many strong albums here. I love Franco Battiato and the album in the poll is a New Wave Synth Pop album. This is his first, and quite possibly last, appearance in this series. I would have expected the earlier works to rank more highly. I consider Sulle corde di Aries to be a masterpiece, but it ranks at 3624 on the RYM chart. ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me. |

I voted for Opeth - Morningrise. Loving it since 1999. PoS - The Perfect Element Pt. 1 is also too cool. That would be my second choice. |

Most difficult choice yet. Giant, PT, Zappa, Tull, POS, Khan, Steely Dan, Todd, or Rush??? Appears studio and live albums are intermingling. I have the "Rush in Rio" DVD and their performance was on fire. Rush > Khan > Tull > Giant > POS > PT > Zappa > Todd > Steely Dan |

Jethro Tull, without a doubt. Other good ones include those by Santana, Gentle Gian, Renaissance, and Khan. There are more, but these are at the top of my list here. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Tortoise over Phaedra (could well have been the other way round on another day). |
