Like very much. I'm Italien and i love a Italy prog. of '70: - The group are "Delirium" and the Lp " Dolceacqua ". Others from Italy : Premiata, Banco, Le Orme, New Troiis, Il Rovescio della Medaglia, Area, Perigeo Sorry for my english language. Fabioo '961 09/08/2021 h. 18,45
Anyone noticed the beauty of these record covers? They are stunning! A very good list, anyway, I would have added some other Italian prog groups, like Orme and Banco del Mutuo Soccorso
After this video I was listening some tracks that I never heard before (let's say I'm new in prog), and "School" from Supertramp is one of the best songs I've ever heard
New to prog you say? What do you think of these albums: Jean-Yves Labat - M. Frog, Junipher Greene - Friendship, Ton Vlasman - White Room With Disintegrating Walls, or Rick Wakeman - The Red Planet?
So at the end of 1972 Sounds music paper publishes its albums of the year. Who comes at the top of the list, Argus, by Wishbone Ash. This was a massive album and commercially successful. Firmly considered progressive rock. This has to be a massive oversight.!
Missing in action: larks tongues in aspic, in the dead of night, Sahara of snow, 21 century schizoid man, battle of the jester and the tyrant, euthanasia waltz
The Yes Album-Yes Benefit -Jethro Tull Foxtrot-Genesis In The Court Of The Crimson King-King Crimson Pictures at an Exhibition-ELP Hemispheres -Rush These are good intros imo
Shine on and Echoes, the best ones IMHO. I'd would add: Finale (Greenslade), Prologue (Renaissance), 1974 (O Terço), Irene (Kayak), Los Delirios del Marischal (Crucis), Princese (Camel), I believe (Triunvirat) and many Alan Parson's Project's tracks. Greets from Brazil.
It's amazing to me that all these "prog rock" lists fail to ever include Todd Rundgren's Utopia 10/74. An album head and shoulders above 3/4 of those you list here.

Suggestion, as this was so good, why not extend it to your top 100 prog songs of the 70's! And when you are finished that, how about top 100 prog songs of the 80's!
Add Grobschnitt (Ernie's Reise, Come On People, Rockpommel's Land, all of the Jumbo LP), Tai Phong (For Years and Years (Cathy), St Johns Avenue, The Gulf of Knowledge, Out of the Night), England (all of Garden Shed LP). Agree with Genesis and Yes, plenty more by both bands
England's Garden Shed, what an album, all the EP is incredible but I think that specifically "Three Piece Suite" would make a good place in the top 15, what a masterpiece.
My list Top 1 starless Top 2 thick as a brick Top 3 supers ready Top 4 close to the edge Top 5 echoes Albums 1 thick as a brick 2 red 3 selling england by the pound 4 close to the edge 5 the wall
I am not familiar with most of the groups but I do know Jethro Tull and they were #1 . They were the 1st live band I saw and was so shocked at the talent that I saw them over 300 more times in 12 states and 100s of venues. Did anyone else have a Jethro Tull hobby ?
my favoruite record from 70s is welcome to the machine by pink floyd- it is just awesome, still sounds as frightening as when i first heard it back in 1975
Per carità le classifiche possono essere opinabili soggettive ,quindi ogniuno può fare la sua , però vedere avanti in classifica con tutto il rispetto gli SBB band polacca sconosciuta ai più precedere addirittura i PINK FLOYD di ATOM HEART MOTHER suite ,da MOLTO da pensare secondo me questa classifica ed anche vedere sempre i PINK FLOYD con THE GREAT GIG in THE SKY lo strumentale col grande e celebre vocalizzo di CLARE TORRY così indietro in classifica addirittura nelle ultime posizioni NO anche questo fa pensare e poi non ho visto NIENTE di STRAWBS , PROCOL HARUM ,MOODY BLUES , FAMILY , CURVED AIR ,MARILLION , SPOOKY TOOTH , KATE BUSH, HAMMILL e GABRIEL ,KANSAS, STYX etc !!!!!! E poi vederci anche i KHAN band Prog canterburiana e non vederci NIENTE di MATCHING MOLE , HENRY COW , GONG,EGG che secondo me un po'più di notorietà l'avevano rispetto a quella band citata , ma vabbè DE GUSTIBUS !!!!!!!
Hatfield and the North be like "'e nicked me fish an chips so oi got me spaceship and blew 'is pork pie roight atha the skoi!" or smth. Also, hate to be "that guy", but the SBB album is from '81 according to discogs...
Will there be a list about the songs from the 2000s too? Well, for me anyway, I'm planning to create one soon, but this time around, it's a top 100 list of each song from each year - starting from 2000 up to the current year. And, there are no repeating songs, and from that I mean, one album per each year.
Sounds good man, looking forward to seeing that, i'm not sure if i'll be doing anything around the 2000s years, in terms of prog I haven't listened to much.
An interesting choice. But what about 3 bands I think would definitely be in my list. Uriah Heep? Steve Hillage? Wishbone Ash? Surely worthy of inclusion. Thoughts please👍
I completely agree with you Thick as a Brick in conjunction with Passion Play are the two best albums done in the progressive rock history. One time i heard Andrew Giddings said , Jethro Tull music is only for not all ears is for smart people.
