1.- Selling England by the Pound / Genesis 2.- Close to the Edge / Yes 3.- Lizard / King Crimson 4.- Three Friends / Gentle Giant 5.- Per un Amico / Premiata Forneria Marconi 6.- Thick as a Brick / Jethro Tull 7.- Felona e Sorona / Le Orme 8.- Moonmadness / Camel 9.- Pawn Hearts / Van der Graaf Generator 10.- In the Land of Grey and Pink / Caravan

Top ten progressive album discussion between two people. Takes an hour and a half. Makes perfect sense.

5. Hemispheres 4. In The Court Of The Crimson King 3. Red 2. Animals 1. Close To The Edge

In no order: Selling England by the Pound - Genesis Misplaced Childhood - Marillion Animals - Pink Floyd Hemispheres - Rush The Power and the Glory - Gentle Giant Thick as a Brick - Jethro Tull L’Heptade - Harmonium Close to the Edge - Yes Crime of the Century - Supertramp In the Court of the Crimson King - King Crimson

I listen to Close to the Hedge when I'm cutting the grass.

Funny how the IMMENSE and rich italian prog scene is generally overlooked everywhere. The italians are the closest in quality to the english. Fantastic and epic albuns. Germans and french are also outstanding.

I always Feel Like Martin Popoff has one of the most personal,pure and uninfluenced music tastes, he doesn’t like what you’re supposed to like what you’re told is “the best” he likes what he likes and it’s what makes him such a great unpredictable guest... great video again guys

Have to say Animals is the one Floyd album that I find I am going back to more often and I am pretty sure it will creep up my list as time goes on.

Love listening to these guys! Always makes me go back and re-listen to the albums!

Noone is talking about Tales of Mystery and Imagination by the Alan Parsons Project ? What a fucking great progressive album !

Pawn Hearts No. 1 !

Love the discussions you have with Martin. You both had fabulous lists! Thank so much for that!

Another great one guys. My favorites Pink Floyd - Wish you were here / The dark side of the moon Genesis - Selling England by the pound Jethro Tull - Thick as a brick Camel - Moon madness Yes - Close to the edge Rush - A farewell to the kings King Crimson - Red Ok I could lay out whole discographies here. Haha.

I really enjoyed that discussion. You "honorably mentioned" some of my favorites and those are Stormwatch, Tarkus, Relayer, and Turn of the Cards. Others on my list are: Gong- Magick Brother Nektar- Remember the Future Jon Anderson- Olias of Sunhillow Alan Parsons- I Robot Renaissance- Scheherazade Blackmore's Night- Under a Violet Moon Captain Beyond (1st album}

Thank you for including Abacab, so many dislike that album for some reason.

Over an hour to discuss some rock albums - where has this channel been all my life? Fantastic. Best wishes from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Zappa - Lather Rush - 2112 Marillion - Misspent Childhood Pink Floyd - Wish You were Here

Cynic--Focus Gypsy--self-titled ELP--Tarkus Colonel Les Claypool's Flying Frog Brigade--Live Frogs Set 2 (their live cover of the full Pink floyd Animals album). Gojira--From Mars to Sirius Flash--self-titled Between the Buried and Me--Focus Zappa in New York White Witch--A Spiritual Greeting Hawkwind--Space Ritual. Wishbone Ash--Live Dates Strawbs--Grave new World

The flute was a mainstay of Prog rock. Jethro Tull, Genesis, the Moody Blues and Focus, among others, all featured and showcased the flute.

Steve Hackett Voyage of the Acolyte. I mean it is the lost Genesis album to some

Not an album : but maybe the best progressive song : ECHOES by Pink Floyd.

The Yes Album, Rush - 2112, Crimson - Red, Genesis - Foxtrot, Floyd - The Wall, Roxy Music - Siren, ELO - Face The Music, Kansas - Leftoverture, Tull - Aqualung, Moody Blues - On The Threshold of a Dream

I agree about much of your selections, ANIMALS, HEMISPHERES, LEFTOVERTURE, DRAMA, Songs From the Wood etc. Maybe on the heavier prog side but I would add FATES WARNING APSOG, The Pineapple Thief Dissolution, Riverside Shrine of New Generation Slaves, Autumn Altitude, Porcupine Tree In Absentia, DARKWATER Where Stories End, A Perfect Circle Mer De Noms, OPETH Pale Communion.

1. Transatlantic Whirlwind 2. Porcupine Tree: the incident 3. Steve Hackett: Spectral Mornings 4. UK 5. Yes: Going For The One 6. King Crimson: Red 7. Rush: Hempisheres 8. Focus: Moving Waves 8. Mystery: One Among The Living 9. Dream Theater: Metropolis Scenes From A Memory 10. Emerson, Lake & Powell

Here’s my top ten in no particular order and only one per artist or group and I’ve listened to all of these in their entirety in the past several weeks: 1. Ommadawn - Mike Oldfield (or Tubular Bells or Hergest Ridge or Amarok) 2. Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd (or Meddle or Dark Side of the Moon or Atom Heart Mother) 3. Misplaced Childhood - Marillion 4. Crime of the Century - Supertramp 5. Fragile - Yes (or Close to the Edge or Going for the One) 6. Eldorado - ELO 7. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway - Genesis (or A Trick of the Tail or Selling England by the Pound or any Peter Gabriel) 8. 666 - Aphrodite’s Child (or Vangelis’ Opera Sauvage or Rosetta) 9. Phaedra - Tangerine Dream (or Rubycon or Froese’s Aqua) 10. I Robot - Alan Parsons Project (or Pyramid or Tales of Mystery and Imagination or Turn of a Friendly Card)

I love Fox Trot too! Focus/Moving Waves, Brain Salad Surgery/ELP or ELP debut, Nektar/Remember The Future, might make my list. I liked PFM too. Fun show! Love it all.

I'm not really a prog rock fan as such, though I love Kansas and enjoy some music by the likes of Rush, Tull, Yes, Procal Harem and I also love bands like Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Mountain and early Queen, hard rock bands with a progressive rock element. I just love listening to Pete and Martin talking about music.

Adrien Belew played with Zappa, Bowie, King Crimson, Talking Heads. May mean something...

Tull without the trademark flute ... is like Hendrix without his guitar. Hmmm ...

1- Genesis: Selling England by the pound 2- Yes: Relayer 3- King Crimson: Red 4- Van der graaf generator: Godbluff 5- Camel: Moonmadness 6- Pink Floyd: Whish you were here 7- Steven Wilson: The raven that refused to sing 8- Gentle Giant: Acquiring the taste 9- Eloy: Ocean 10- Harmonium: Si on n'avait besoin d'une cinquième saison ( a great 70's band from Québec)

I consider anything with heavy use of mellotron probably prog. So yes, the Moodies should be in that category.

The Classics speak for themselves so I will suggest some modernish releases that fans of the golden age of prog might dig. 1.Magic Bus - Philip the egg ( think Gong, Caravan etc) 2.Astra - The Weirding ( if you dig they sound of vintage keys like Melltron and moog melded with scorching guitar work) 3.Motorpsycho - Death defying unicorn(Double album of epic jazz infused heavy prog) Could name more but this should give your ears a treat and prove that great progressive music is still alive and well.

Another great show, bravo! My ten: 1. Pink Floyd: Dark side of the moon 2. Genesis: Selling England by the pound 3. Marillion: Script of a jesters tear 4. King Crimson: In the court of the Crimson king 5. Supertramp: Crime of the century 6. IQ: Dark matter 7. Porcupine tree: Fear of a blank planet 8. Eloy: Silent cries and mighty echoes 9. Focus: In and out of focus 10: The Moody Blues: Seventh sojourn

10. Devil Doll - Sacrilegium 9. Emerson Lake & Palmer - Brain Salad Surgery 8. The Contortionist - Language 7. King Crimson - Beat 6. Pain of Salvation - One Hour by the Concrete Lake 5. Magellan - Test of Wills 4. Planet X - Universe 3. Genesis - And Then There Were Three 2. Opeth - Still Life 1. Yes - Relayer

Yes Close To The Edge wins!

Hi Pete and Martin - This should have been a top 20 at least! ;o) loved your lists, for a number of reasons, as you'll see: My Top 10 weren't too hard... 1 Gentle Giant - In A Glass House 2.

Yes - Drama 9. Pink Floyd - Animals 10. UK - Danger Money Honorable Mention: well it's hard to even do this cus there are easily another 50 albums worthy of the Top 10. OK, a few... King Crimson - Red, King Crimson - Lark's Tongue In Aspic, Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti, Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin III, Nektar - Recycled, Nektar - Remember The Future, Yes - Close To The Edge, Yes - Relayer, Yes - Going For The One, Frank Zappa - One Size Fits All, Chris Squire - Fish Out Of Water, Santana - Caravanserai, Van der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts, David Bowie - Scary Monsters, Focus - Focus 3, The Electric Light Orchestra - The Electric Light Orchestra, Rick Wakeman - Six Wives Of Henry VIII, Kate Bush - Hounds Of Love, 10CC - The Original Soundtrack, Premiata Forneria Marconi - Photos Of Ghosts, Roxy Music - Roxy Music, Soft Machine - Third, Camel - Snow Goose, Kansas - Point of Know Return, Genesis - Selling England By The Pound, Genesis - A Trick of the Tail, Genesis - Duke, Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here, The Moody Blues - A Question Of Balance, Bruford - One Of A Kind, Chicago - Chicago III, Chicago VII, Gentle Giant - The Power and the Glory, Hatfield and the North - The Rotters' Club, Robert Fripp - Exposure, Supertramp - Crime Of The Century, Journey - Dream, After Dream, Peter Hammill - Fool's Mate, Acqua Fragile - Mass Media Stars, Jon Anderson - Olias Of Sunhillow, Egg - The Polite Force, Caravan - In The Land of Grey and Pink, Banco del Mutuo Soccorso - Banco, Peter Gabriel - Peter Gabriel 1, Happy The Man - Crafty Hands, Barclay James Harvest - Octoberon, The Move - Looking On, The Buggles - Adventures In Modern Recording, Steve Hackett - Voyage of the Acolyte, National Health - Of Queues and Cures, Procol Harum - A Salty Dog, Curved Air - Phantasmagoria, Eddie Jobson - Zinc, Talking Heads - Remain In Light, Greenslade - Greenslade, Rush - A Farewell To Kings, Planet P - Planet P Project, Godley & Creme - Freeze Frame... since I don't know how to stop - I'll just stop. Pete I just have to mention I have always heard the same thing about Kansas! People saying they're not a Prog Band. Bullshit! It's true, though that they are an anomaly of sorts. They had incredible pop success, and arguably their two most progressive albums also had their two biggest hits on them. And they were BIG hits. Dust In The Wind could kind of be predicted, but Carry On Wayward Son is probably the most complex track ever to hit the Top 20. Who saw that coming? I know the song is catchy, but it's as complex as most prog of that decade. Despite the amazing chart success Kansas were an extremely progressive band in every way. I also meet some resistance when I bring up Rush - there are those that consider Rush hard rock, but not progressive. Again, bullshit! Even after their 'masterpiece' years, which I consider to be 2112 through Moving Pictures, they continued to put out great great and challenging music. I didn't always like the directions that they chose to explore, but I always respected their exploration. This, I say, is the true meaning of 'progressive' isn't it? I mean, we all have this sort of traditional formula that we think of as how a 'progressive' band should sound - you know, interesting lyrics sung by unique singers, prominent keyboards, virtuoso players showing their chops on complex arrangements with shifting time signatures. But the minute a band or solo artist leaves that recognizable 70's formula, all the sudden it becomes a debate. Although my list is full of that formula - hell it's a top 10 - I generally take the much broader and inclusive view - as per my 'honorable mentions.' So in addition to Rush and Kansas I would also include Santana and Chicago among many other debatables. Hell even Led Zeppelin was called progressive rock but some early 70s journalists. I agree and always have included Led Zep in the discussion. People are much too precious with their genres and sub genres. Anywho... fun show!! More reviews coming.

King Crimson refreshed in the 80s is a joy to continue to discover for me. I like 70s better, but still enjoy Fripp's creativity!

Nice call Pete on Siberian Khatru, I saw them open with this song in Toronto on their 10th anniversary tour in 1979 and they actually played the entire album. My favorite Yes album is Tales From Topographic Oceans but both are great. Great show as usual, thank you!

What a great show. Close to the Edge has to be number one, just magical.

I just LOVE this show, and i’ve seen it a few times since 17th of december. I have most of those albums mentioned, and i agree with you guys for the most part. We have a lot of great prog bands here in Norway too, most from the resent years. I love SoT. Keep it up Pete & Co! Regards from the city of Elverum!

1 Topographic Oceans 2 Larks Tongues in Aspic 3 Selling England by the Pound 4 Relayer 5 Wish You Were Here 6 Red 7 Dark Side of the Moon 8 Thick as a Brick 9 To our Children's Children's Children 10 Ommadawn

My top-30: 1) Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here 2) King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King 3) Genesis - Selling England by the Pound 4) Yes - Close to the Edge 5) Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon 6) Genesis - The Lamb Líes Down on Brodway 7) King Crimson - Red 8) Genesis - Foxtrot 9) Pink Floyd - Animals 10) Camel - Mirage 11) Genesis - Nursery Cryme 12) Yes - Fragile 13) Yes - The Yes Album 14) King Crimson - Larks' Tongues in Aspic 15) ELP - Tarkus 16) Genesis - Trespass 17) Mike Oldfield - Ommadown 18) Jethro Tull - Thick As a Brick 19) Pink Floyd - The Wall 20) Camel - The Snow Goose 21) ELP - Brain Salad Surgery 22) Marillion - Misplaced Childhood 23) Van Der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts 24) Pink Floyd - Meddle 25) Yes - Relayer 26) Genesis - A Trick of the Tail 27) Alan Parsons Project - I Robot 28) IQ - The Wake 29) Camel - Moonmadness 30) Van Der Graaf Generator - Godbluff

That's basically one of my life's missions: to make a ultimative top10 progrock albums. Probably not going to happen, love all stuff too much. But as this interesting topic is brought back again, I must make a quick spontaneous top10, just what comes on my mind right now: 10. Arthur Brown's Kingdom Come - Journey (very overlooked, that stuff probably was considered alien in 1973) 9. Yes - Relayer 8. Supertramp - Crime of the Century 7. Eloy - Ocean (overlooked band for sure) 6. Peter Hammill - The Silent Corner And The Empty Stage (honorable mention - In Camera) 5. Rush - Moving Pictures 4. Pink Floyd - Animals 3. Camel - Mirage (surprised neither Pete nor Martin mentioned them) 2. King Crimson - Red 1. Van der Graaf Generator - Godbluff (perfect album in every aspect)

Great to see UK make the list. I saw them live back in the day. Even took photos of the show.

Re: Eighties King Crimson, I think an undeniable influence on that period is Talking Heads (with whom Fripp and Belew were associated). The super rhythmic, world music-esque qualities plus Belew's voice, which often resembles David Byrne's, always make me think of the Heads. I love all the weird intersections of unlikely musicians that happened in that period.

At midnight I clicked the play button, telling myself, ten minutes and then I'll go to bed. It is almost half past one in the morning and I am finally going to bed, a happy man indeed. Thank you Pete and Martin, a great show.

Crime of the Century? Is it prog? Everybody discuss while I go listen to that masterpiece for the umpteenth time...

Had to think about this. 1. Foxtrot - Genesis 2. Going for the One - Yes 3. Dark side of the Moon - Pink Floyd 4. In the Court of the Crimson King - King Crimson 5. The World became the World - PFM 6. Selling England by the Pound - Genesis 7. Songs from the Wood - Jethro Tull 8. Works - Volume 1 - ELP 9. U.k. - U.K. 10. Animals - Pink Floyd Honorable Mention: Voyage of the Acolyte - Steve Hackett, OK Computer - Radiohead, Close to the Edge - Yes, the Lamb - Genesis, Freehand - Gentle Giant

Hey Pete a ranking of peter gabriel’s album its long overdue i think !!

Thanks Pete and Martin. Really enjoyed the vid. I love the 'is this prog' discussion. I have a couple like that in my 10 1. 'Red' - King Crimson 2. 'Animals' - Pink Floyd 3. 'Selling England By The Pound' - Genesis 4. 'Tago Mago' - Can 5. 'The Yes Album' - Yes 6. 'Automatic Fine Tuning' - AFT 7. 'Thick As A Brick' - Jethro Tull 8. 'Script For A Jester's Tear' - Marillion 9. 'In Search of The Lost Chord' - Moody Blues 10. 'ITCOTCK' - King Crimson LOVE IT PETE.!!!!!

Always a great education from these episodes

Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick Rush - Hemispheres Yes - Relayer Chicago - Chicago II Horslips - The Book of Invasions The Flower Kings - Flower Power Porcupine Tree - Deadwing Ad Infinitum - s/t Echolyn - Mei Transatlantic - SMPTE

Obviously a part 2 is needed.

Epic show !!! Maybe the BEST video in the history of Sea of Tranquillity ! Thanks guys !!

Someone commented to me that other than the uniqueness of the flute, Tull often sound Medieval and that is an intriguing aspect about them.

To Mr. Pardo's credit, these videos have made me appreciate certain bands more than ever, and a good example is Kansas. Commercial radio drove a couple of their songs into the ground, but I should never have let that spoil my interest in that band.

Kansas absolutely is prog rock! 2 of my favorite songs from are super proggy- Icarus and Closet Chronicles. I love Kansas then and now

A great discussion gentlemen !!! These would likely be my top 10 as of today ( lists made down the road would probably differ somewhat ) Jethro Tull : Aqualung. ( is it prog ? there are enough elements of it that are , I think ) Pink Floyd : Dark Side of the Moon Genesis : Selling England by the Pound Yes : Fragile ( I love Close to the Edge , but this one has Heart of the Sunrise , South Side of the Sky , & Roundabout ) Emerson , Lake & Palmer : Tarkus ( on another day it could be Brain Salad Surgery or Trilogy or the debut LP ) The Strawbs : Hero & Heroine. ( on another day it might be Ghosts ) Supertramp : Crime of the Century King Crimson : In the Court of the Crimson King. ( on another day it might be Discipline ) Moody Blues : On the Threshold of a Dream A Mulligan : Camel : Rain Dances ( another day it would be Moonmadness ) tied with Renaissance : Turn of the Card ( another day it would be Scheherazade ) Honourable mentions : Kansas : Leftoverture Gentle Giant : Free Hand Porcupine Tree : Deadwing. ( another day it would be In Absentia ) OSI : OSI. ( I must check out Chroma Key ) Gordian Knot : Gordian Knot Peter Gabriel : Car I'll stop here as I could go on and on .

I was surprised that no ELP album was featured in the top 10, but great video nonetheless!

I don't know why but I kept waiting to say "Oh no freaking not that album" but you guys nailed it back and fourth. My new fav SoT show!! Great job and happy holidays friends!

Quite surprised not seeing one album from Van Der Graaf Generator. Pawn Hearts is a prog classic IMHO.

No particular order but the first 10 albums that came to my mind: Larks tounges in aspic - King Crimson Animals - Pink Floyd Nursery crime - Genesis Fear of a blank planet - Porcupine Tree Aqualung - Jethro Tull Acquiring the taste - Gentle Giant Still life - Opeth (don't care if its metal that album is perfect) Marbles - Marillion H to He, who am the only one - Van der Graaf Generator If I could do it all over again... - Caravan

Some really great choices, especially Chroma Key blew me off. I used to listen to Dead Air for radios and You go now for a long time. They are so introspective. OSI also have great albums. Peter Gabriel' s albums up to So are so good. All the albums mentioned of course are unique and Animals has been part of my whole life. As a mad Floyd fan, I am so happy that both of you ranked it in. Dogs and Sheep contain what the band is all about along with Wish you were here.

Yes, the Adrian Belew albums (Twang Bar King and Lone Rhinoceros) are prog.

I love so many progressive rock albums!! Thank you guys for picking your favorites!! I enjoyed listening to your picks!! Take Care. 🎼🎤🎸🥁

What a treat to hear Martin 's shout for Kevin Moore, Chroma Key and O.S.I! He echoes my feelings with respect to all 3 Chroma Key albums - they've been favourites of mine for a number of years - good time to revisit them.

What about the early Caravan with songs like 'for Richard'.

For true progressive rock fans The 70's italian school of progressive rock (a genre of it's own) probably released the top tier albums in all of history (along with UK)..released during the same years or earlier and surpassing some of the already well-known mainstream UK prog rock albums: there's hundreds. One of them being and a personal favorite: "Museo Rosenbach-Zarathustra" 1973

Hey all...thank you Martin and Pete for another fantastic list...I have compiled together my top 10 progressive rock albums which have made the biggest impact on me the most...here they are 10. Snow - Spock's Beard 9. In Absentia - Porcupine Tree 8. Kaleidoscope - Transatlantic 7. Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd 6. Thick As A Brick - Jethro Tull 5. Brain Salad Surgery - Emerson, Lake & Palmer 4. Days Of Future Passed - The Moody Blues 3. In The Court Of The Crimson King - King Crimson 2. The Yes Album - Yes 1. Selling England By The Pound - Genesis

A great prog band from the 70’s hardly anyone talks about is Hatfield And The North from the Canterbury scene. They released 2 records. A self titled record titled Hatfield And The North from 1973, and another called The Rotters Club from 1975. This is their masterpiece and should belong in any top 10 prog list. This is a jazz fusion classic. Flawless.

1) Camel - Rain Dances 2) Steve Hackett - Please Don't Touch 3) Gentle Giant - In a Glass House 4) Eloy - Ocean 5) Gentle Giant - Gentle Giant 6) IQ - Ever 7) Gentle Giant - Free Hand 8) Steve Hackett - Voyage Of the Acolyte 9) Gentle Giant - Interview 10) Eloy - Metromania

Misplaced Childhood Close To The Edge The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway Wish You Were Here Broadsword & The Beast 2112 Even In The Quietest Moments Brain Salad Surgery Clutching At Straws Hon mentions. Duke, Division Bell, Meddle, Hemispheres, Script For A Jesters Tear

A difficult one. You could go with the classic albums and bands, but sometimes a lesser known one is just fantastic. And what is prog? We all know the genre, but it can be really wide. I just listed the ones I thought up first King Crimson - The Power to Believe Sky Architect - Nomad RPWL - Beyond Man and Time Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon Genesis - Wind and Wuthering Mike Oldfield - Amarok HFMC - HFMC Philhelmon - Perpetum Immobile Kayak - Isis Camel - Rajaz Marillion - Misplaced Childhood ELP - Trilogy Styx - The Grand Illusion Some classics, some lesser known, but nevertheless love it, probably missed many...

Usually I say to each his own, but Tull with no flute!? Come on, man! Great show gents.

I can't put them in order, but here is my ten: King Crimson - Red King Crimson - Discipline Genesis - Selling England By The Pound ELP - Brain Salad Surgery VdGG - Pawn Hearts Queen - Queen II Anekdoten - From Within The Mars Volta - Frances The Mute Gentle Giant - Octopus Yes - Close To The Edge HR: Robert Fripp - Exposure Earth & Fire - Song of Marching Children Lucifer's Friend - Banquet Pink Floyd - Meddle, Animals David Sylvian and Fripp - The First Day If you ever want to do a Top Ten songs or album ranking on Anekdoten, hit me up. They'll never get enough love as far as I'm concerned.
