This ofcourse is a somewhat personal list, but I have no doubt a lot of you will agree on at least some of my choises :P.
1
Artist: Yes
Album: Relayer
Favourite track: Gates of Delirium
Reason: I'ts just insanely good, especially the epic Gates of Delirium shows what Yes is worth!
2
Artist: King Crimson
Album: In The Court Of The Crimson King
Favourite track: I talk to the Wind
Reason: Hmmm let's see, VERY groundbreaking and actually still very good in comparison with any other prog albums.
3
Artist: Pink Floyd
Album: The Dark Side Of The Moon
Favourite track: Time
Reason: Dunno, I just really like this album :P.
4
Artist: Rush
Album: A Farewell To Kings
Favourite track: Cygnus X-1
Reason: I like how Rush brings hard rock and prog together!
5
Artist: Queen
Album: A Night At The Opera
Favourite track: The Prophet's Song
Reason: A really good album with a lot of variation and also the world famous hit Bohemian Rhapsody.
6
Artist: Genesis
Album: The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
Favourite track: The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
Reason: Ye, ye, everyone always says Genesis's best album is Selling, but I disagree I think this is somewhat better, I like both though :).
7
Artist: Led Zeppelin
Album: Led Zeppelin II
Favourite track: Living Loving Maid
Reason: IMO better than LZ IV, it has more spice and more really good tracks, and it's the first real LZ album (where they really knew what they wanted) as it was their first album after their debut.
8
Artist: Van der Graaf Generator
Album: From H to He, who am the only one
Favourite track: Killer
Reason: I think these makes some very interesting music that is unlike any other progressive rock and I think they deserve a spot here.
9
Arist: Transatlantic
Album: SMPTe
Favourite track: All of the Above
Reason: For a band of 1999 they make some pretty damn good prog! Opening track All of the Above is just as good as any other classic epic. If you don't know this band yet, but like prog, be sure to try this out!
10:
Arist: Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Album: Tarkus
Favourite track: Tarkus
Reason: I like the album cover…. Nah, well yes but I just think this is a great album which also has a great title epic track.
11 (ye sorry thought of one extra)
Artist: Jethro Tull
Album: Thick as a Brick
Favourite track: Not so many to choose from, so I'll choose the one track thick as a brick!
Reason: One of the ultimate prog albums with actually only one track!
Other noteworthy albums:
The Arcade Fire: - Funeral
The Animal Collective: - Feels
The Doors: - The Doors
Iron Butterfly: - In-Da-Gadda-Da-Vida
and so on ;)
Magma - Köhntarkosz
Remember, this is just a personal list, and even though I have scientifical prove that this is the right top 11, I won't give it as it's too complicated for you >_>;.
