My top 15 favorites: 15. MINSTREL IN THE GALLERY by Jethro Tull 14. TARKUS by ELP 13. VISIONS by HAKEN 12. POINT OF KNOW RETURN by Kansas 11. FAREWELL TO KINGS by Rush 10. WISH YOU WERE HERE by Pink Floyd 9. NURSERY CRIME by Genesis 8. RELAYER by Yes 7. MOVING PICTURES by Rush 6. ANIMALS by Pink Floyd 5. SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND by Genesis 4. BRAIN SALAD SURGERY by ELP 3. THICK AS A BRICK by Jethro Tull 2. CLOSE TO THE EDGE by Yes 1. DARK SIDE OF THE MOON by Pink Floyd Excellent show Scot !!!!
My number one progressive rock album has been the same one since it was released in 1970. McDonald and Giles. Still my favourite listen 53 years later.
Just had a first listen to the whole Mcdonald & Giles album....Thanks!!! My ears also picked up something around the 32 minute point. Maybe Steve Hackett meant it as a tribute but at the 6 minute point of Shadow of a Hierophant it sure plays out the same. Fascinating.
Thanks for sharing. You have some great albums on your list especially Styx! Love them. My favorite album of all time is Aja by Steely Dan! Every song is amazing!
this was a lot of fun!! I might have to do one myself! Can't wait to see your Top non-prog albums :D Also, been loving that I Am The Manic Whale album!!
Thick As A Brick, 2112, and Close To The Edge are my 3 favorites. And Thank you Scott for turning me on to Wobbler and Karfagen. Both are just absolutely stunning bands.
THANK YOU! I didn't know anything about Wobbler. Now it's my favourite neoprog (is that a word?) band. This is what the Internet is all about, Discovery. Expanding your world. Again, a big Thank You!
Those first two Psychedelic Furs albums. Incredible. Steve Lillywhite’s production. Oh my!!! And good old Todd did okay on the third. (God, I’m hoping you’re a fan otherwise none of this means squat…) And yeah, definitely give Transatlantic a bit if your time. Beyond great.
Powerful list, much harder to do than one would think. I started doing my own list after watching yours and it took me waaay longer to do than I thought it would. I used the same parameters as you, but did add 2 honorable mentions. I also did one as just my favorite albums and one my favorite prog albums because I didn't know if your list was supposed to be just prog or if they just happened to be prog because those are just your favorites. My top 15 albums: 15. GWAR - Scumdogs of the Universe 14. Danzig - II: Lucifuge 13. Tom Waits - Rain Dogs 12. Metallica - ...And Justice For All 11. Camel - The Snow Goose 10. Flaming Lips - At War With the Mystics 9. Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From a Memory 8. Rush - Permanent Waves 7. Widespread Panic - 'Till the Medicine Takes 6. Gentle Giant - The Power and the Glory 5. Phish - Rift 4. Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime 3. Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick 2. Ween - The Mollusk 1. Pink Floyd - Animals Honorable mentions: Megadeth - Rust In Peace, Black Crowes - Amorica And if it's just prog we are talking about: 15. Gong - You 14. PFM - Per Un Amico 13. Genesis - A Trick of the Tail 12. The Mars Volta - De-Loused in the Comatorium 11. Van Der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts 10. Renaissance - Novella 9. Frank Zappa - One Size Fits All 8. Camel - The Snow Goose 7. Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From a Memory 6. Rush - Permanent Waves 5. Gentle Giant - The Power and the Glory 4. Phish - Rift 3. Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime 2. Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick 1. Pink Floyd - Animals Honorable mentions: Yes - Tales From Topographic Oceans, The Moody Blues - Days of Future Past Yes I have Zappa and Phish in prog, but those 2 albums especially to me are 100% prog
My top 10 prog albums, in no particular order, no repeat bands: Yes - Close to the Edge Magma - K.A. Banco - Io Sono Nato Libero Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down Univers Zero - Heresie King Crimson - Larks' Tongues PFM - Per Un Amico Gentle Giant - In a Glass House Anglagard - Hybris Thinking Plague - In Extremis In actuality, there are dozens more albums I rate just as highly as these. So, if I were to make this list in a week, some of the choices would probably be different.
Your list is STRONG. I was mildly surprised that you didn't include Crime of the Century. I know you hold it in high regard. 15 Pink Floyd Atom Heart Mother 14 Kansas Point of Know Return 13 Harmonium Le Cinq Saisons........ 12 Rush 2112 11 King Crimson Lizard 10 Camel Moonmadness 9 Rush A Farewell to Kings 8 Chris Squire Fish Out of Water 7 Fred Frith Gravity 6 Gentle Giant In a Glass House 5 Styx The Grand Illusion 4 Yes Fragile 3 Pink Floyd Animals 2 Caravan In the Land of Grey and Pink 1 King Crimson Lark's Tongues in Aspic Looking forward to next video. Probably half of my top 10 are XTC albums, so it will be tricky. Gratitude
Thankyou for sharing your favorites for no matter what anyone might say they are YOUR favourites. I have discovered prog only in the last 2 years but can mention "Hand Cannot Erase", "A Tab In The Ocean", & "Wish You Were Here" are in my top 15. Blessings.
Thank you Scot! It was me who was looking for your Greatest albums video and here it is! '72-'77 were the greatest years for prog, I was born in '86, so wasn't alive yet, but I can fully appreciate the power of that era. Colorful picks, keep rocking man! Big fan of yours!
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Supertramp - Crime of the Century Chicago VII Genesis - Selling England By The Pound Nino Ferrer - Blanat Carol of Harvest
Hamburger Concerto - Focus Overnite Sensation - Zappa You - Gong Solar Fire - Manfred Mann's Earth Band UK Trick of the Tail - Genesis Aqualung - Jethro Tull Tarkus - ELP DSOTM - Floyd ITCOTCK - Crimson It hurt to leave out Close to the Edge, 801 Live, Crime of the Century and Utopia's Ra. Come to think of it, it hurt to leave out about 50 albums, including some on the video list.
What a great top 15 this list really is. Some of the greatest ever prog albums are included and it’s just amazing list. Well done. Super entertaining. Just the best. Dave
@@TheProgCorner No doubt since starting the channel my music knowledge has greatly expanded. So it would be an interesting list to try and come up with.
My favorite albums by ten of these bands: Utopia: Oops! Wrong Planet Jon Anderson: Olias Of Sunhillo Rush: Permanent Waves Kansas: Point Of Know Return Gentle Giant: s/t Pink Floyd: Animals King Crimson: In the Court Of… ELP: Tarkus Genesis: Selling England By the £ Yes: Tormato That’s right, I said Tormato! Fans I’ve spoken to hated the one tune or another that ruined the whole album, as did the production. The sound may have suffered but I love what it did for Squire’s bass tone! 3 of those tunes make it a worthwhile listen from start to finish for me. I DO love Tales! Side 2 (The Remembering) is my favorite album side in terms of context and continuity. Styx and Jethro Tull are impossible for me to pick favorites. With Styx, I can only rule out Kilroy Was Here. I don’t think it was a bad album, just not as interesting. Personally, I think we have our standout favorites by Yes, ELP and Rush (for example) because clearly they set their standards so high early on that we, as fans, felt they fell so short on later albums that it seemed obvious. I’m sure a lot of that had to do with the ever-changing recording industry, MTV and the way other media outlets covered artists (old and new). I enjoy prog like any music lover of our generation but I’m definitely more of a Jimi Hendrix/Stevie Wonder guy. I’m also all about Jeff Beck, Tommy Bolin/Zappa/Trower…and no, it’s not just a guitar thing. You can spin me some Miles, Coltrane, Herbie, Buddy Rich, blues, flamenco, Bossa Nova or chamber music anytime (you get the point)! I’ve been to your non-prog album video, in which I dropped a comment and you ALWAYS reply (thank you). Don’t know if you have any videos addressing any of the names directly above but I’ll search your channel to see what I can find, Scott (or is it “Scot”?)
Yeah, it’s Scot!!! But yeah, I’ve had the channel for about 18 months so definitely scroll through the videos I’ve posted so far!!! I’m sure there’s something there… 👍👍❤️❤️👍👍❤️❤️
I abso love your enthusiasm mate. I'm not that into prog rock and the first time I heard the song "Thick as a Brick" I heard "...to be as pink as a pig." It works! 😉 Stay happy mate
Good choices - love your channel - many albums in common with me. CTTE would be my number 1, and SEBTP instead of LLDOB. But that's life - free to choose what we like. Much respect!
I love Cake!!! I need all their albums on vinyl (I only have two so far - the rest on CD.) They are even better live. Seen them twice and yeah: amazing.
OK, this is weird. I watched your video this morning and later went out to the thrift shop and there among the beat up copies of assorted polka music, and various other stuff was your #1 pick. The condition of the vinyl was NM and the cover was a VG for 3 bucks. What are the odds? I'm familiar with "Yes" but I've never heard this album. So, thanks to you I'm going to invite a few friends over, drop the needle on it and make it a "Yes" party.
Hey Scot great list man! I love it your fave Yes, Tull, and Floyd are same as mine! Same with Rush, I know Moving Pictures gets all the attention but as a day one Rush fan Farewell To Kings is my #1 fave. So many say side 1 of MP is a "perfect side" but not to me, that honor goes to AFTK, title track then Xanadu is as good as it gets! Cheers!
Happy to see Tales in number one !!! And I still do not understand why Rick Wakeman hated this album, which lead to his departure. Maybe it was a blessing in disguise because Patrick Moraz gave Relayer a unique flavor.
Great choices! Love those Wilson Gentle Giant remasters. Not going to list my top 10 as would contain mostly same artists as you but not same albums.... but top 5 prog for me would include the phenomenal Pale Communion by Opeth....and Moonmadness by Camel 🖤🖤 God save the king😂🇬🇧 i still think queen in my head lol....
Great list! Right now, my top 15 are: 1. CTTE- Yes 2. TFTO- Yes 3. GFTO- Yes 4. Relayer- Yes 5. Olias- Jon Anderson 6. Happy the Man self titled debut 7. Crafty Hands- HTM 8. Hergest Ridge- Mike Oldfield 9. Ommadawn- Mike Oldfield 10. Hosianna Mantra- Popol Vuh 11. Bruder Des Schattens... - Popol Vuh 12. Frances the Mute- Mars Volta 13. Zarathustra- Museo Rosenbach 14. Per Un Amico- PFM 15. Ardour- Ethos
Wow dude, I’m absolutely elated you went with “ Olias “ as one of your selections. For me it’s very much like a lost Yes album. It’s very inspirational and a true gem in the rough. And “ Larks “ is another great choice as well as “ The Lamb. “ I’ll always make an argument that it’s Genesis best. Great list !!
And side 3 is pure genius - Lilywhite is an amazing opener. Anyway The Lamia. Anesthetist. Silent sorrow (could be part of Banks solo album "A curios feeling"). Part 2 of waiting room. If you can, get ahold of the demos from the recording sessions / rehearsals of the Lamb... ear openers for sure
1 Yes Close to the Edge 2 IQ - Road of Bones 3 Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here 4 King Crimson - Larks Tongues in Aspic 5 Genesis - Duke 6 Marillion - Misplaced Childhood 7 Spock's Beard - The Light 8 Rush - Hemispheres 9 The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots 10 Styx - The Grand Illusion 11 Saga - Worlds Apart 12 Pallas - The Sentinel 13 Twelfth Night - Live & Let Live 14 Dream Theater - Metropolis II 15 Van Der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts
Great list, Scot. And it's good to see other peoples choices. So varied. That's the best thing about music lovers. Well here's the 10 I'm taking into my next life. So please cut me some slack on my non-prog choices. Again, this is my eternity 10. 1. Close To The Edge 2. Seconds Out 3.This Is The Moody Blues 4. Thick As A Brick 5. Quadrophenia 6. Moving Pictures 7. Abbey Road 8. Tales From Topographic Oceans 9. The Wall or Animals (coin toss) 10. Beethoven 'Emperor Concerto'
What a GREAT list, Scot. I love that it's a mix of more mainstream prog (e.g., Grand Illusion - a true masterpiece in 8 songs; Kansas s/t - "Journey From Mariabronn" is sublime...one of their most brilliant compositions; and Rush - AFTK which is their best for sure! "Xanadu" = listen, be amazed, repeat...), classic/quintessential prog (Genesis - pick anything from NC to WAW; and Yes - Tales grows on me everytime I listen to it!); and more "aggressive" prog (Larks Tongues in Aspic and Octupus). I wish I could fall in love with that latter category as much as have (including Happy The Man). Someday, maybe! I do keep trying. I just can't get around it sounding discordant.
@@TheProgCorner I just have such respect for how you truly love it all - from something like "Fooling Yourself" which I would consider at the "beginner's" end, to "The Colony of Slippermen" which seems to require a bit more prog "maturity", if you will, to the stuff on Larks Tongue.
Kansas: Song For America Supertramp: Crime Of the Century Kerry Livgren: Seeds Of Change Genesis: Selling England By The Pound Gentle Giant: The Power And The Glory Camel: Mirage Yes: Fragile Styx: The Grand Illusion( I actually prefer Paradise Theater, but not much prog on that) Rush: Permanent Waves Pink Floyd: Meddle King Crimson: Larks Tongues In Aspic Jethro Tull: Songs From The Wood(just edging out Benefit) A prog album by a non-prog artist: Dire Straits--Love Over Gold Top two are top two, the rest are tied in order of importance...too much good stuff to mention
You got a couple of mine in Permanent Waves and The Power and the Glory and 2 of my 2nd placers per band with Meddle and Larks Tongues (unfortunately I haven't been deep into Crimson for too long, they don't make my top 15) and Benefit is also my #2 for Tull (however TaaB is the Tull GOAT for me)
My personal 12 favorite prog albums: 1. YES Close To The Edge 2. JON ANDERSON Olias Of Sunhillow 3. GENESIS The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway 4. PINK FLOYD Animals 5. AMBROSIA Somewhere I've Never Traveled 6. U.K. Danger Money 7. JETHRO TULL A Passion Play 8. ELP Brain Salad Surgery 9. KING CRIMSON In The Court Of The Crimson King 10. RUSH Grace Under Pressure 11. FM Black Noise 12. MIKE OLDFIELD Crises
Great albums you chose there Scot brother 👍. Of course YES should always be #1. Kansas Styx and wobbler amazing albums. Hope your feeling better. Peace ✌️
My current top 15 favorites (1 entry per artist): 15. Miles Davis - Bitches Brew 14. Mahavishnu Orchestra - Birds Of Fire 13. Mr. Bungle - Disco Volante 12. Alice Coltrane - Journey In Satchidananda 11. Can - Tago Mago 10. John Coltrane - Meditations 9. The Microphones - Mount Eerie 8. Sun Ra - Lanquidity 7. Aphrodite's Child - 666 6.

I don’t have a super extensive vinyl collection having sold most of my teen collection when I was in my 30s and was in my Christian music phase. I’ve been trying to recreate my collection of 70s rock and prog in the last 10 years or so. Here’s my list of favorite prog albums that I find myself playing over and over, that I do own, no repeat bands. Lots of agreements with Scot. Genesis/Foxtrot is my #1 all time favorite album that gets so much play, not just for SR, but I love Can Utility and the Coastliners, an underrated gem. #2 ELP/Tarkus, I have BSS too, and play it a lot, but Tarkus is my go to. #3 Yes/ Fragile because it was my first one❤️ #4 Kansas/ Debut Album #5 Rush/Moving Pictures #6 Jethro Tull/Thick as a Brick #7 Frank Zappa/Zoot Allures (I’m still looking for Apostrophe, but Black Napkins is the bomb) #8 Steve Hackett/Voyage of the Acolyte #9 Pink Floyd/Wish You Were Here #10 Peter Gabriel/First Solo Album (Car-is this prog? I’m going to include it. I’ve exhausted my bands that I really play a lot). All of these bands, I have multiple favorite albums, so it’s really hard to choose. Of course CTTE is a favorite ❤️ I have a lot of classic rock as well.
That Kansas debut!!!! Oh yeah!!! Even though I am a Christian I don’t listen to any Christian music - except for Neal Morse, of course!!! And Christmas music!!!!
I think you are on to something…maybe all this ranking is just messing with the true meaning of engagement with a piece of music…who am I kidding? I RANK EVERYTHING!!! ❤️❤️❤️
You're a lot like those classic prog fans. Like ME. In my list I would have chosen other records by the same artists (nearly) but your list is quite interesting in some points. I'm going to do some auto research and I'll post mine in a matter of minutes (or hours)
@@TheProgCorner I've got it! But it's SOOOOOOO difficult. This 15 are my "return to" records (with secondary options). Of coure, not in order. That will came later, if I can. Ambrosia - Somewhere I never travelled It bites - Once around the world Yes - Close to the edge / Tales ELP - Brain Salad Surgery / Pictures Genesis - The Lamb lies down on Broadway / Selling Pink Floyd - Wish you were here / Animals Camel - Harbour of tears / Moonmadness King Crimson - Red / Islands Marillion - Misplaced Childhood / Marbles Mike Rutherford - Smallcreep's day Anthony Phillips - Wise after the event / The geese and the ghost UK - UK Pendragon - The Masquerade overture / Out of this world Bo Hansson - Lord of the rings The Decemberists - The Hazards of love / The crane wife (I know, I know ....) Greetings from Barcelona
@@TheProgCorner They are so... I don't know... "Mariner's revenge song"? What the **** is that? "The Infanta"? Those lyrics are abstruse, man. Even the more "mainstream" albums are something to behold. By the way, XTC is in my top 3 list of best non prog groups ever. Is that good taste or what?
For me the top of this all-time list would have to include Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here and Ambrosia's debut. Your Kansas, Styx, Yes and Rundgren's Utopia selections would also be up in there. But lately I've been working on own top 50 / 100 prog albums of the new millennium to give love to the new stuff. Good excuse for lots of listening. Not putting them in order but let me try to pull fifteen from that list for suggestion... Lee Abraham - Only Human Astra - The Weirding Big Big Train - The Underfall Yard (or others) Cosmograf - The Man Left In Space IQ - Dark Matter (or Road of Bones) Nick Johnston - Remarkably Human (borderline prog) Karmakanic - Who's the Boss in the Factory Lalu - Paint The Sky Magenta - Seven (or We Are Legend) Magic Pie - Fragments of the 5th Element Mostly Autumn - Graveyard Star Nemo - Barbares (or others) Pendragon - Not of this World Phoenix Again - Look Out Yuka & Chronoship - The 3rd Planetary Chronicles (or others) Prog on!
Fantastic!!! Only I prefer The Black Chord to The Weirding but whatever. Outstanding!!! I plan on spending more time with Modern Prog here on the channel. Chasing views unfortunately means sticking to the classics but you know…
@@TheProgCorner OH, I absolutely get that. Still the more I delve into modern prog the more really good work I find. And I go back and forth on the Astra albums. ;)
15 very good picks. But this is difficult. Of course it is. Provided there is only one suggestion per band/artist on a list like this, here's my 10 from the top of my head without thinking too much: 1. Dark Side of the Moon 2. Close to the Edge 3. A Passion Play 4. Octopus 5. Nursery Chryme 6. Greenslade 7. Voyage of the Acolyte 8. Rubicon 9. Brain Salad Surgery 10. Lark's Tongues in Aspic And there's half a million others that I'm embarrassed not to be able to include, but these were the first I could write down by impulse. All of them shaped me back in my teens and they're sort of there forever, no matter how many great records there is outside my list.
I actually made a list like that not so long ago (that was SO hard to do), and following your 1 album per artist rule, it'd be: 15. Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory - Dream Theater 14. The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway - Genesis 13. Quiet World - Native Construct 12. Close To The Edge - Yes 11. Pawn Hearts - Van Der Graaf Generator 10. Milliontown - Frost* 9. Pitfalls - Leprous 8. Remedy Lane - Pain Of Salvation 7. Frances The Mute - The Mars Volta 6. Hand. Cannot. Erase. - Steven Wilson 5. In Contact - Caligula's Horse 4. The Mountain - Haken 3. Weather Systems - Anathema 2. Act II: The Meaning Of, And All Things Regarding Ms. Leading - The Dear Hunter (yes, that's my fav TDH album, sue me lol) 1. Colors - Between The Buried And Me
My top 15 Prog Albums (1 per band) : 1- The Raven that Refused to Sing 2- Similitude of a Dream 3- The Whirlwind 4- Fear of a Blank Planet 5- Question Mark 6- Hemispheres 7- Wish You Were Here 8- Les Cinqs Saisons 9- Selling England by the Pound 10- V (SB) 11- Close to the Edge 12- English Electric : Full Power 13- Third Degree 14- The Grand Illusion 15- The Mountain
My top 10 could be.. Soft Machine vol 2 PFM Per un amico VDGG Pawn hearts Gentle giant Octopus Jethro Tull Aqualung ELP Trilogy Rush A Farewell Genesis Selling England King crimson Red Pink Floyd WYWH
Thanks, fun list. agree with your picks for best albums from gg, elp, crimson, and yes. i go back and forth with genesis, lean foxtrot. surprised by animals pick. i would go meddle or dark side. surprised no italian in your top 15. a pfm album would be in there for me. plus locanda delle fate and passio secundum mattheum. the other thing is you restricted these to one per band, so is it really your 15 favorites, e.g., how many of these do you really prefer over ctte or relayer?
Hi Scott. Watched a few of your videos. Enjoy them. I was not going to comment until ANIMALS was in your pic. I have been playing it a lot recently. Reckon it’s my Floyd fav. I was a huge ELP fan. P,aged them constantly I reckon lol. Yes, Rush , Genesis. All the classics I reckon. Not a Tull fan at all. Just do t like them. Styx great band. The lamb lies down brilliant album. The cage bloody great. Tales . Wow total madness lyrically but Jon Anderson choice of words he liked and just placed them together a lot was still great. Getting over overhanging trees let them take the Forrest. Wtf but why not. Reckon I knew every mad mental word . Peace out , rock on everyone. 🤘🥃🏴

@@TheProgCorner I absolutely looove XTC. My first encounter was Oranges & lemos, which I simply worship (you can't get more ideas in a record), and the second was Black sea. What could I do? Kneel and applaud
Ten of my favorite albums (One per artist) (Not sure if all of them would be accurate, I did my best to pick, at least I have lots of other favorite albums.) 10. Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced 9. Van Halen - 1984 8. Bon Jovi - Slippery When Wet 7. Billy Joel - The Stranger 6. AC/DC - Back In Black 5. OneRepublic - Native 4. Journey - Escape 3. Queen - A Night at the Opera 2. Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road 1. The Beatles - Abbey Road
@@TheProgCorner You like OneRepublic I'm guessing? You may not like Coldplay or Maroon 5, but I thought I would ask you about OneRepublic since you said all my album choices are good.

Trick Of The Tail. Nursery Crime. Second Album (curved air) Farewell To King's. Cyclone. Lake II Yesterday's. Close To The Edge. Going for the One. Misplaced Childhood. Clutching At Straws.

@@TheProgCorner Some are more borderline prog, but for me they are more prog, than the 100th Yes clone. Especially Green Carnation, if you don't know is worth checking out. Just one 60 minute song and no growlings 🙂
Hey Scot, it would be interesting to do a top (say) 25 where you remove the one album - one artist restriction. For example, I’m guessing there are more than 5 other Yes albums that you prefer to Todd Rundgren’s Utopia. Most channels seem to apply these restrictions, so they can mention more artists and make the video more interesting. That’s fair enough, but eventually I’d like to see the “real” favourite 10 or 25 or whatever.
Sadly, my Top Ten is really lame: 5 from Yes (from The Yes Album to Relayer) and 5 from Genesis (Nursery Cryme to A Trick Of The Tail…) And that’s why I HAVE to install said rule!!! 👍👍👍
01] Art Bears - Winter Songs 02] Gong - Camembert Electrique 03] Jethro Tull - Aqualung 04] King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King 05] King Crimson - In The Wake Of Poseidon 06] King Crimson - Lizard 07] Magma - Entire Discography! 08] Peter Hammill - The Silent Corner and the Empty Stage 09] Peter Hammill - A Black Box 10] Peter Hammill - Loops and Reels 11] Pink Floyd - The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn 12] Pink Floyd - Obscured by Clouds 13] The Soft Machine - Fourth 14 Van Der Graaf Generator - H to He, Who Am the Only One 15] Van Der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts
@@TheProgCorner that would be awesome. Captain Beyond was an excellent band, I like all 3 albums, Dancing madly backwards, Sufficiently Breathless and Dawn Explosion.
