1: Animals- Pink Floyd
2: Selling England by the pound- Genesis
3: Wish you were here- Pink Floyd
4: Emerson, Lake and Palmer – Emerson, Lake and Palmer
5: Head hunter- Herbie Hancock
Let’s be honest. Pink Floyd is barely prog. Good band, but if we are to judge them by prog standards they fall flat on their face.
1) arbeit machtrea frei – Area
2) … everyone
Taking it funny It seems that Emerson and Lake were playing with a certain Powell.
I suspect Mr. Palmer kinda disagrees .
lol
5. The Wall – Pink Floyd
4. In the Court of the Crimson King – King Crimson
3. Fragile – Yes
2. 2112 – Rush

Asia??? Emerson, lake and Powell??? ELO???
Pawn Hearts > Wish you were here
bleh, as far as rush goes i feel 2112 is SUPER overrated
In my opinion Animals is more prog than Dark side of the moon
So glad we agree on #1 🙂

Excellent list, bro!
Close to The Edge is THE definetive prog album
I saw the mike oldfield album at my thrift shop and i have no fucking clue why i didn’t grab it it was 50 cents!
Foxtrot and Tarkus? You can’t get more prog than Supper’s ready. Or Tarkus.
If guys want to hear a recommendation;
Band beardfish, album Sleeping in the traffic!
Part one and part two are one of my favourite albums of all time!!!
Sleeping int he traffic part 2 haves the album titled song. And god damn that’s prog <3 35 minutes of Beauty
