Brave is such a good album. I prefer Marillion w/ Hogarth to Fish-led Marillion, by far. If you like this CD, you'll love Marbles. Just be sure to check out the 2CD version with Ocean Cloud on it.

Egg's eponymous debut album is awesome!

>>49323401
Marbles was the first album I listened to by them, Neverland is a fantastic closer

So this past month I finally caved and started listening to Genesis & Gabriel. As a huge fan of the Moodies & Crimson I finally caved. I haven't went any further than The Lamb and I don't know if I really want to after the disappointment of Bruford leavin Yes.

Looking at Genesis though, they really were just the middle ground between Crimson & Yes, However they pulled it off better than Yes ever could.

>>49323432
It really is, I don't know why Egg don't get more credit at times.

You have 10 seconds to prove this isn't the best song by Yes

>>49323618
The best Yes song is Then, Even without Wakeman and Howe, the band starts to find their feet.

Also Yes without Bruford are a soulless monster driven forward only by Squire's desire for money.

Reccommend me some good essential albums?

DSOTM could be switched with another album. I feel like it's only in there for recognition's sake, but at least it isn't The Wall.
Tarkus' absence is a bit worrying when Lateralus is creeping around there.

>>49323819
They also have Swans, Slint and GYBE in there

How the gipsy was born by Frumpy and Soft Machine's Moon in June.

There's some really nice J-Prog from the 70's & 80's. I'd share a few albums but my HDD died recently. Your best bet is to lurk on Japanese BBS, My girlfriend has found some really nice stuff that way.
You may also want to check out some of the listings on Planet Mellotron, it can really help.

The title track is worth the price of admission, but it's no worse than ELP, Tarkus/Pictures/Trilogy really deserve to be on there more than their debut.

Progarchives is a pvery good site, this list is very similar

>>49324180
one good song does not save the album if the other side is so fucking bland

>>49324168
Almost a good list, but there's one HUGE problem with it.
>All that Crim
>TCIOGG&F
>No Brondesbury tapes
>No McDonald & Giles

So fucking close to being a good list too. I know some people might consider listing The Brondesbury tapes as just being a duplicate, but both are worth it, and if one has to go, let go of TCIOGG&F because The Brondesbury Tapes are better, we can lose North Meadow and One in a Million if we really need to.

I learned everything I know about prog from progarchives. That was a long time ago though admittedly, I haven't been there in a while.

Nothing wrong with it. People hate Haskell, but he was better than Boz.
We even have the best Jon Anderson performance in a song so pretentious that his involvement in it seems so un-pretentious.

>>49324262
Read the green text on that chart, you can't include everything, but I agree with you that is too much KC on there.

I don't even listen to Magma much any more but this song hasn't been topped.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzyOi5XRu_g

>>49324356
Honestly, it's not that it's an over-exposure of Fripp, but rather that Level 5 & TCOL are not both essential, especially not together. One can be replaced with McDonald & Giles which is more likely to be buried than The Nice.

Fuck yeah I do. Shit sounds great with everything. Chorus is great, amplification is great, ping-pong delay is too much fun with an actual piano. Even sounds better with headphones on.

Who else is going to see KC live? I'm going to the last show in Seattle.

If I had to nominate a Progressive Rock song for the best song ever, it would probably be War by Henry Cow. It's just 2 minutes and a half, but it has so many high and very emotional peaks. Plus, the concept of it is excellent. Listen to it if you haven't!

Also, I'm listening to Lincoln by They Might Be Giants. Is it just me or the first song is far better than the rest?

>What do you live in yurop or something?
Well, yes

Btw, do electronic keyboards have the actual Hammond organ sound? Mine only has ''Rock Organ'', and it's only vaguely similar.

>>49325178

>>49324847

>>49325331
Hammonds have what are called Tonewheels, which are hard as fuck to emulate with simple electronics. Synths or samplers or whatever are better at faking hammond sounds.

>>49325434
It gets better and better. I have listened to it like 50 times, and it's always better than the previous listen.

>>49325253
Never listened to it.

>>49325566
you really should. It's always changing and it's pretty damn good prog album

>>49324350

>>49325635
Nice. Can't right now though, but will listen to it ASAP

>>49323729
Amused to Death, The Least We Can Do Is Wave At Each Other, In Search Of The Lost Chord, and Days of Future Passed belong on this list That's just a few from off the top of my head.

Did anybody listen to Thick As A Brick Part 2?
Is it as good as the first? I was considering buying it.

>>49325777
Slightly worse than part 1 (which is amazing), but definitely worth listening to

>>49325777
The most dissapointing aspect of TAAB2 is Ian's shitty voice but it's a solid record though.

>>49325253
not bad, but I wouldn't listen to it again soon.

I have known them for some time. It's just that they can be posted in a lot of different threads. In this case, since OP asked for our favorite prog songs, War was perfect for the situation.

Best prog album coming through

>>49328524
This is a fact

Could someone explain to me why the closers on every Gentle Giant album are significantly worse compared to the rest?


Also, Playing the Fool is the best GG album, if only for the Octopus medley alone

>>49328524
Why? I also like it a lot, but the melodies are not very creative and it's very repetitive at times.

>>49324376
It's a damn good song, it's a shame really that I can't quite enjoy the rest of the album.

>>49329036
I understand what your saying about it being repetitive, and i agree (don't even love checkmate tbh, always skip it)

But to me, this album gives such a unique vibe that no album has ever given me. my favourite part is Second Spasm: the krumhorn break and the epic adventurous part after that is highly ranked in my mind as to what music should be like.

>>49325253

>>49329433
Yeah, that part is my favorite too. It always seemed to me that they were just average compared to bands from the same era on that album. So choosing it as the best prog album seems weird to me.
