    Itcotck
    SEBTP
    W & W
    Tubular Bells

    While not exactly the benchmark indicator, for what it's worth, there are 229 albums that have been rated by at least 70+ raters on Gnosis. This at least gives a rather probable pool to choose from. From that list, I would note these as top contenders:

    King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
    Genesis - Selling England by the Pound
    Yes - Close to the Edge/Fragile
    Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick/Aqualung
    Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon/Wish You Were Here
    Led Zeppelin - IV
    ELP - Brain Salad Surgery
    The Doors - s/t
    Queen - A Night at the Opera
    Kansas - Leftoverture

    Any others?
    The first three are pretty obvious for a prog board; I'm guessing on the last 3. Those might be more specific to my generation (born mid 1960s)
    Close to the Edge is the only one I have of these.

    nope for three of them though I have another album (no "s" to album) by these three bands, but I rated all three.


    Just because one rates them on Gnosis doesn't mean you own them... anymore

    Whatever you say, pal. I've yet to spend Dime One on a Supertramp or Bowie product, and the few PF things that I have do not include that one.

    It's already been demonstrated in this thread that DSOTM is not beloved by all and I know that I have seen other threads where members have expressed specific dislike for Genesis' The Lamb and general dislike of all things Yes.
    I personally don't have any new age stuff so Enya is out and I got rid of that first Asia album once I heard what was on it.
    Glad my thread has gotten some good mileage, and even a spinoff thread!

    I added the last three (Gabriel, Asia, Enya) because I was trying to figure out what non-prog we might all have in common.

    Specifically, I added Asia because I thought everyone here would at least have *bought* it not necessarily that they liked it... Maybe I should've asked what albums we all owned at some point?

    And I added Enya because in my senior-year college dorm (1987-88), literally everyone who liked music had it on my hall. Even the one guy who mostly liked punk.

    Anyway, very surprised everyone doesn't own Dark Side; where did all those 30 million copies go?

    First prog albums?
    I think something like this:
    Kayak
    Yessongs
    Welcome back my friends...
    Seconds out

    Regarding Asia: I think you will find there is a whole demographic of progressive music fans who passed on Asia. Those would be people whose formative listening years would have exposed them to Yes, and who would have heard "Heat of the Moment" and immediately dismissed it as Yes-lite.

    There is probably another demographic, somewhat younger, who were largely unfamiliar with Yes, and when they heard Asia they thought, "Wow, this is great, this is rock but a bit different!"

    A former housemate of mine, a guy quite well versed in progressive rock, had a friend who fitted this description. He was saying he had got the Asia album and what a killer album it was. My housemate kind of rolled his eyes and said "Ummm, yeah. But you need to listen to the real deal." By which he meant albums such as CTTE and GFTO.

    Yeah, I had the debut on vinyl, now that I think about it.

    The only reason I have DSotM is that my ex-wife bought it for me; she thought it was a crime that I didn't have it. I was never much of a Pink Floyd fan, though I used to have Ummagumma and enjoyed it, mostly because buying it coincided with my discovery of weed.
