Of the studio albums it would be a tossup between GFTO or CTTE.

RIP Rick

Pink Floyd were the band that led me into investigaing the whole progressive rock movement way back in 1980. Hi influence in the formative years and first couple of PF albums cannot be underesyimated.

Hugely overrated IMO. Don't get me wrong.. ItCotCK is one of the great debut albums of the last fifty years, but to my mind it's all about the mellotron. EPITAPH IS THE GOODS. One of the defining tracks of progressive music. The title track is almost on a par although to me it doesn't quite have the...

Yes! I prefer Bruford's albums with Yes to the ones he's made with KC. My favourite KC albums are the first two.

Red (Bruford and KC) or CTTE (Bruford and Yes)?

Thanks for the link. You know there were some very interesting threads on that site but 90% of them were just rubbish. A first class exampleof moderators allowing to much crap to get posted before they tried to step in and correct the situation. The real shame was one of their mods was a Scandavian ...

Franseco Di Giacomo (banco's lead vocalist) is one of my absolute favourite vocalists. His work on tracks like Metamorfosi, Il giardino del Mago (my favourite) and Io Sono Nato Libero is simply gorgeous. I need to get some more PFM, only have Per un Amico. It's a very good album IMO. Museo Roenbach'...

Thanks guys. God bless your fellow countryman, Steve Irwin...he was my hero!!! From Sydney to Perth, he had to have made his mark! You know I had never realised just how huge a star and how popular he had become until his death. The outpouring here was amazing. More than any other figure in sport, p...

Same here on both counts.
Under the Sun and Supernaut are also overlooked tracks in Sabbath's history.

Ah!!!! PFM I only have Per Un Amico. It's a really, really good album. Italian prog is massively underated. My favourites. Museo Rosenbach - Zaruthstra Il Balleto Di Bronzo - Ys Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso - s/t These three albums are absolutely essential in any prog music or classic rock fan's collect...

That would be me my old mate. I gave up on that ever happening about 2 years ago.

The next Yestalker to post enjoys a good hot curry.

BTW Doug check your PM.

It's been a long time (18 months or so) since I last posted here. Thought it was about time I rejoined the fold. Late last year I spent most of my time online on the Dream Theater Forum and when the band pulled the plug on that one I spent quite some time on the Progarchives forums. This year though...

Last time I posted here (about 18 months ago) I couldn't seperate my top 5. Nothing has changed in the intervening time: Yes - Close to the Edge or GFTO Jethro Tull - StormWatch, Standup, Songs From the Wood, or TAAB Tangerine Dream - Alpha Centauri, Rubycon or Cyclone Devil Doll - Eliogabulus or Di...

I've always enjoyed Scorpions. Klaus Meine is one of the great hard rock / metal vocalists IMO. As for MS, his work with UFO is essential listening.

Terrific to see some appreciation of Tangerine dream!! Cyclone was the first TD album I ever owned. I've never understood why it's so underappreciated. It's always managed to hold my attention more than Phaedra. Agree with the comments re Rubycon, easily in my top 5 TD albums. Alpha Centauri is the ...

Hey Doug - That'll teach me for not checking in here for the paast 6 months or so. I might have realised why I hadn't heard from you for so long. Got your Hotmail today BTW. I plan on spening a bit more time back here anyway. Cheers.

I never understood that fuss, either, until a couple of weeks ago. SR just decided to grab hold. To me, it ranks right up there with CTTE, but surpasses TAAB, and surpasses Pictures and ITCOTCK by a wide margin, both musically and lyrically. I do like Banco quite a bit - especially their 70s work. ...

I've always enjoyed Gabriel era Genesis, but I've never really understood all the fuss about Suppers Ready. Don't get me wrong, it is a very fine song but it doesn't even come close to other epics from the same era such as CTTE, Thick as a Brick, Pictures at an Exhibition and In The Court of the Cri...

I'm with N2 on this one: it's about as likely as Led Zep or The Beatles reforming and touring. Guess I'll just have to content myself with watching Live at Pompeii a few more hundred times! LOL
