Go ahead and pick your nose. I decided to make this compilation of studio albums despite it being a nary impossible task to choose a true favourite/ standout for many of these years. I avoided live albums and compilations but cheated with choice 24. There are a couple that I have only listened to samples of, but like what I heard. I'd be interested to hear of your top five of these -- if you're familiar with enough of them to do so. Though the list is fairly eclectic, judging my my choices, I hope to hear of some recommendations. ------------- 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 PFM's 1972 album but my countryman, the late M. A. ARAUJO deserves a mention, the album is fine and the title is great: "When The Luck Releases You A Swan In The Night". ------------- Guigo ~~~~~~ |

I've been listening to it a great deal, particularly since that Eskaton vs. Dun poll. ------------- 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. |

Familiar, and love most of these albums. My top five (the spesific albums, not bands) from here is probably something like this: 1 Magma 2 Gentle Giant 3 Eskaton 4 PFM 5 Hellebore ------------- Over land and under ashes In the sunlight, see - it flashes Find a fly and eat his eye But don't believe in me Don't believe in me Don't believe in me |

1) Hamburger Concerto one of the best prog album
2) Soft Machine vol1 where it all started
3) Pulsar strands the exceptional writing overcomes cheap production
4) Magma kobaias they're created their own sound; there is only one Magma
5) Art Zoyd Berlin they're from another world
Whoa!! 3 french band out of 5; they're good!!
Logan! congrats for the list; finally one without the usual suspects!!!

There are many interesting albums issued between 1968-1992. Why not PULSAR "The Strands of the Future" (1976)?

tough call... but went with Magma's debut.. over time has become my favorite from them, and I think I've converted Raff as well. GREAT album.

Thanks for all the responses. I'll note that 1973, which I consider an amazingly great year for Italian Symphonic Prog has no votes with my particular choice. While there are many great choices (according to my tastes) for that year, and darned near any classic Prog lover (was tempted to list Clearlight - Forever Blowing Bubbles, MO's Birds of Fire, Samla Mammas Manna's Matild, and love Magma's MDK but didn't want to repeat bands in the list) but decided beforehand to choose an Italian Symph Prog classic due to some splendid one and two off efforts. Museo Rosenbach's Zarathustra was the first to spring to mind (and my usual choice of the year) but at the last minute opted not to because, well, I suddenly decided to choose something perhaps a bit less obvious for an Italian Prog lover such as myself -- and bit more obscure.. Also, I was a little torn between Alphataurus, Museo..., Il Rovescio Della...'s Contaminazione, Le Orme's Felona e Serona, and Banco del...'s Io Sono Nato Libero. Considering that Le Orme and Banco del Mutuo Soccorso are two of my favourite bands, it is a bit strange in a way that I didn't go for any representative. But then I'd probably choose BdMS's debut, and Le Orme's Contrappunti. For 1975 I almost went with Carpe Diem's En Regardent Passer le Temps (and Crucis is an older fave). Hmm, not sure why I'm saying this as it's just another personal list of favourites where I could have chosen quite a few others as well. ------------- 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. |
