"Tough to choose between this one or "The Lamb lies Down on Broadway" or "Selling England by the Pound". Get them all, you won't regret it. Became a different band with different sound once they were 3"
"The ultimate Prog band. Without a list just for this band I can only say, get'em all. Even if there is one you don't like, the next one will be totally different."
"Another very tough choice competing with "Octopus", "The Power and the Glory", "Three Friends". Their late albums are closer to pop than prog but "Civilian" is refreshingly excellent still."
"Ultimate concept album. Another band from which so many albums are essentials but this one and "Aqualung" stand apart on top of a very long list of excellent albums."
"What to say. It does not get closer to prog than that. "Criminal Record" I would suggest as 2nd best. The ones with orchestra or the new age ones only if you are into that kind of stuff."
"Such a huge catalogue so I went with the memories and historical significance,"Stratosfear" & "Alpha Centauri" were my other choices but if you like the style you can't go wrong with any album."
"Defining what prog music is. It does get old but you likely won't stop listening to it until you know it by heart and then you can move on to a wide choice of remakes."
"Vangelis went through various phases, not all prog. Blade Runner = amazing soundtrack; 1492 = best classical style; Hypothesis and The Dragon for the jazz-prog era (but very hard to find)."
"This one or "Waves". Most of Jade Warrior's album are serioulsy overpriced but hey, it's good if you are into that zen prog feeling. New age before new age existed. Most of it CANNOT be played loud."
""Script for a Jester's Tears", "Fugazi", "Clutching at Straws", another tough choice. Only one I like which is not from the Fish era is "Season's End"."
"Other than her second album "Lionheart" which I felt was weak, everything from her is essential prog. Cut the crap, get the box set "A Woman's Work", it's worth it."
