im asking for your help to help me find good albums taht arnt so known to prog. newbs like myself so that i dont miss out on good music.

 I first started listening to pink floyd. Eventually i got all their albums and found over time which ones i like and dont like quite as much. my favorites are

Animals/meddle, its impossible for me to decide which is best ,atom heart mother

those would be my top 3.

i recently can to this web site and based on your threads, many of you dont agree with the top 50 album list. I found which key albums to listen to through many reviews and have picked my favorites as far as the most famous albums. my favorites are, in no order

close to the edge, relayer, thick as a brick, recycled, remember the future, a tab in the ocean, ocean, larks' toungs, in the court of the crimson king, red, pawn hearts, and the sky moves sideways.

based on all these albums as my favorites, can any of you help decide which band i would probably like alot tell me of some unfamous album taht is very good or mabey obscure key albums taht the top 50 list wont show, and help me find those since im new to prog. and dont no of any albums other than what are on the top 50 list, with the exception of some like nektar, which i found by accident and i love them now.

Close To The Edge (the track) is available as mp3 on this website, as are songs of many of the other albums you listed. They're quite a good basis to start with. I would add Camel: Moongoose, and Instead of Sky Moves Sideways I'd recommend Lightbulb Sun or Up The Downstair, which was re-released recently.

I'm more the prog metal guy and can give you some recommendations in that area, too ... just ask!

well, those i listed are ones ive already listened to, so those are my favorites, and i wanted yall to guess which other cd's or bands i would like based on my current favorites.

thanks though, i'll check out moongoose and up the downstair. i dont no if im ready for prog. metal. yall metalists seem a little over enthusiastic about prog. metal, but eventually i'll give it a listen.

thanks

how about van der graaf?

How about some Camel (Snow Goose) or Gentle Giant (Octopus)?

That's the one, thanks!

Check out early Genesis.Selling England by the Pound, Trick of the Tail.

Maybe some Gentle Giant??

Try some Clepsydra, very strong vocalist.
