Sorry, From the top one hundred, I pretty much show my true colors: 1) A Trick of the Tail - Genesis 2) Selling England by the Pound - Genesis 3) The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway - Genesis 4) Awake - Dream Theater 5) Wind and Wuthering - (yep, them again) 6) Operation: Mindcrime - Queensryche 7) Be - Pain of Salvation 8) Doomsday Afternoon - Phideaux 9) Fear of a Blank Planet - Porcupine Tree 10) Foxtrot - Genesis It's not that I enjoy Genesis to the exclusion of all else, it's just that my other favorites aren't everyone else's favorites. I don't really like Yes, King Crimson or Jethro Tull. Pink Floyd and ELP did get some consideration but nothing better than my choices (in my mind). If there was more Neo-Prog or modern symphonic on the top 100 then there would have been a greater variety on my list but that's what I have out of the available choices. ------------- -------someone please tell him to delete this line, he looks like a noob------- I don't have an unnatural obsession with Disney Princesses, I have a fourteen year old daughter and coping mechanisms. |

These would be my favorite ten among PA's top one hundred for the moment. This list will not have numbers since it is in no particular order, I love all these albums for different reasons, so I don't feel like ranking them against each other.
Moving Pictures - Rush: Probably my favorite rush album. Start to finish it is brilliant, really enjoy witch hunt.
Fragile- Yes: A masterpiece, way ahead of its time.
Wish You were here- Pink Floyd: favorite floyd album. Great instrumentation and atmosphere.
Selling England by the Pound- Genesis: Epic from start to finish, one of the best prog albums ever recorded.
Image and Words- Dream Theater: One of thier best albums, a very unique piece of work.
De-Loused in the Comatorium- The Mars Volta: One of the best modern heavy prog albums to be released in the last decade. Intense and engaging, I got into this band before I got into prog and I've remained a fan with every release.
Into the Electric Castle- Ayreon: This album is amazing. A great mix of various styles with superb musicianship from a very talented collective of various artist.
Scenes from a memort metropolis part II- Dream Theater- great playing by all members, interesting concept and story.
The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway- Genesis: Some may call this album excessive. Doesn't bother me a bit. The last great Genesis album. Though trick of the tail is good, the peter gabriel years where Genesis's finest.
A Farewell to Kings- Rush: This band has never dissapointed me. Great songs both in lyric and instrument content. Farwell to kings, Xanadu and Cygnus X-1 are all great compositions.
