Essential Prog Rock List

[strawberrybrick]

I have a similar list... if you sign in with google, it's kinda cool the way the albums are presented. . .

Those are all pretty safe choices, firmly in the alt prog wheelhouse. They take a wider view of classic prog with some zeuhl and RIO choices, it would be nice if they were as inclusive with the modern stuff. There should be something from Yoshida Tatsuya, certainly.

Shouldn't an "essential" list be safe? I mean, if the choices aren't safe, they're probably not essential.

IMO if you are going to make an essential prog list it should at least cover all the bases of what's under the umbrella. (Just like if you made an essential jazz list, something from the free jazz realm should be there, even if it's hardly appealing to the masses.) I haven't looked at the list, but I think a good solid list of the prog essentials wouldn't be complete with something from Henry Cow or Magma.

Both appear on the list, In Praise... & MDK

One thing that's obviously progressive around here, judging by all your answers, is the loss of vision we are all suffering.
