Surprisingly, a number of Jethro Tull albums. Only ever heard the hits off of Aqualung and War Child. Nothing at all off of This Was, Minstrel in the Gallery or Heavy Horses.
Most Porcupine Tree. I’ve heard bits of a number of their albums (as well as the entirety of Wilson’s solo album Hand. Cannot. Erase.). They are not for me.
Lots of prog-metal. I think I’ve heard all of two Opeth albums. Damnation is all right. I struggled to get through Still Life. Again, not for me.
Nothing at all by Tool or The Mars Volta.
I would argue that it’s not worth the effort. By this point, Zappa’s “humor” had become noxiously mean-spirited. There’s a few instrumentals on the long, long album and “City of Tiny Lites” is OK, but it’s not really worth the effort. You can hear COTL on any number of live albums in the company of much better music.
