Time & A Word
Going for the One
Yes Album
Yes debut
Magnification
I much prefer to be in spoiled listeners category, then force myself to be delighted at mediocre drummer, who replaced a talented one.
Agree. Bread, Janis( a dedication to Joplin?), Moving Waves and Focus II are all brilliant pieces.
Birth is a good piece, the rest aren't very inspirational. The side-long title theme is incredibly monotonuos.
To Watch the Storms is great album, quite on a par with Voyage of the Acolute and Please don't Touch. Wild Orchids I found unimpressive.
They remind me ELO much more, than Camel.
Good album. Sheep is my favorite track.
I think this might be possible, the existence of a GG fan, whos favorite is GfaD, I believe it's not just a philosophical assumption)
KC became famous by the release of debut album. In the years of activity, they never dropped out of the public eye , news about changes in staff, or on upcoming new album, were regularly placed on...
Robert Wyatt's music is great, he's very talented. But I can't stand his 'vocals'. I think he'd better hire a classical singer, dramatic tenor would be the best.
Surprized noboby mentioned their last.
Nothing essential in proposed list, IMO.
But...
If you are a GG completist, or you feel you had grown to a fan phase, - on Totally Out Of The Woods you'll find a nice early GG track, 'City...
My big 5 looks like this:
Jethro Tull
Genesis
Gentle Giant
Pink Floyd
King Crimson
Big 5 of prog , in 'classic' years, just fairly, and not by revisionist view - Yes, ELP, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Jethro Tull.
For me it's obvious they did some prog tracks in their prime years and afterwards. Not very much, of course, and not your definitive high standard prog, maybe, but sometimes they delivered really...
Circus Fearless, Tearless and Even Less (80). There's no CD issue of this one, and vinyl version is hard to find..
Anthem is prog? A pop ballad with strings interlude? Art rock maybe?
So, the most iconic PF song must be all 'electric'? Why so? I thought Wish You Were Here is acoustic and electric in equal shares.
When I travel UK, - which happens almost every year, I foreknow I...
Concerto For Group & Orchestra is their most ambitiuos prog 'track' ever.
Mule
Fools
A-200
Before Time Began
Soon Forgotten
A Simple Song
What do you mean by knockoff stuff? For what I've heard by Ego on youtube, was extremely banal.
All those modern proggy-also-ran bands, that I've heard - everyone of them, still can't get over...
I interpret the word 'iconic' as 'representative'. I think Wish You Were Here is the most iconic PF song, and this song is far from being my favorite of them - I wouldn't put it even on my top 10 of...
Chateau D' Isaster
Moscow to London, to see ELP.
:D He might have close the show with Pirates, couldn't he?
That rondos made me sick, just the frightening regularity of it.
Hard to pick one, even more then hard, just impossible..
Peter Hammill
Peter Gabriel
Kerry Minnear
Ian Anderson
Greg Lake
Jon Anderson
Gary Brooker
I was always wondering, what's worth was the idea to play that idiotic rondo at the end of every show?
Same people, who's voices are the most annoying in prog.

No, thanks. In Concert I once bought, in 1979. Wasn't impressed much, to say the least.
Yeah!:D Everyone is annoying, obviously)))
Peacock never sang on One of A Kind album. It's on Feels Good To Me she did some vocals. I'm indifferent to her vocal abilities. Not very good, not very bad, and thankfully, there are some...
Great song(Can-Untility), one of their best.
An Inmate's Lullaby
It seems like idiosyncrasy about Deep Purple, I suspect some authorities in HOF simply don't want DP to be inducted.
My taste for rock got narrowed.
Really? I believe many have an opposite view.
I'm sure you know that bands like Sweet and Cream came out from different traditions. Any pop song decorated with heavy riffs could be labeled hard rock. Not so with blues rock - there are definitive...
Nirvana leads the race quite steadily. So illusions on Yes must be thrown away.
That's an interesting statement. Consequently, blues rock wasn't differenciated from hard rock until modern times. Then let me ask you, do you think that term blues rock is superfluous, just a pun,...
All right, I see your point. There is no such category, as blues rock, when the thread is about hard rock. When some would open a blues rock thread, then some hard rock bands here must be missed....
Yes, they did. Over the years I become more a classical music listener. My tastes in classical music are wide, but most of all I'm interested in 20th Cent. music - especially the first half, from...
I voted for Yes, but they have no chances to get over Nirvana. I haven't heard Nirvana, but I know they are massively popular.
Circus Fearless, Tearless and Even less (1980). I have heard this album on vinyl. It's very good.
Phantom's Divine Comedy pt 1
Jethro Tull - 20th Anniv. box set
I tend to agree with Tob here, the album could be better, than it is. Sealion, Bungle, Two Fingers were a doubtful choice, according to the bunch of new songs they had in stock about that time.
Then what was the reason of using two categories instead of one, if they both discribe the same thing, as you say?
Do you really hear no stylistical difference between Sabbath and Free, Sweet and...
Too much of them for listing.
This. Great song, sadly missed on an album. Quartet is good jolly track, reminds me of Gentle Giant in a way.
Wish You Were Here, obviously.
Yes, and when we were kids, the rock music was much better then now.
That's right. But since '76 old is always better, than new. Always, no exceptions.
It's patchy, and some songs are too lightweight. But it is as charming, as all of Tull's 70s outlets.
I love the title track, - and I think the saxophone fits very well here, Back Door Angels,...
No, never. I play SEBTP seldom, once in a year maybe.

It's just formal thing in his case. His compositions( most of all) are usually built around blues structures. Blues rock I think is just more exact definition, then hard rock, when we talk about...
:D If it disturbs you to see the typed phrase "Robin Trower is a blues rock guitarist", and you seem to disagree that Trower is a hard rock guitarist, then what more can I do for you? It's you who...
Get Durham's Concerto, I hope you won't regret. The Boom of Tingeling Strings is another good album.
All right. It was only me who invented this scandalous connection - Robin Trower plays blues rock.
In fact, Trower is not a blues rock guitarist, he's a typical hard rocker, like Malmsteen, for...
I love them too. Elysian Encounter is one of my favorite non-prog rock albums. Really a fantasic album.

His music, most of it, is based around blues chord progressions, rooted in blues.
Trower is a blues rock guitarist, and always was. ...
