Rolling Stone - 50 greatest Prog albums
    #21837792 - 06/21/15 04:22 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

What do you guys think? What's missing?

I loved seeing deloused by the mars Volta on there but I think France's the mute should be there too.
I heavily agreed with hemispheres by rush.
But no Meddle by Pink Floyd?

Share your thoughts prease.

Looks like I was right and was happy to see King Crimson up on #2 as well.

King crimson makes the list a few times. I've always appreciated them but now I might try to dive deeper.

I'm currently listening to 50. Happy the man

i thought it was a good list. there was already a ton of pink floyd on it anyways. bunch of bands ive never heard of too

i'm surprised and glad Kansas managed a slot with Leftoverture, they get ignored all the time in things like this

You win.  There are a bunch of albums I don't really consider progressive, like Supertramp, and I would have picked some different albums from other bands.  It was nice to see Van der Graaf there and Crack the Sky and FM  Of those three they got the right album only once.  Crack the Sky.  FM Headroom is a masterpiece and so is Van der Graaf World Record. For Camel they got the right album.

FM Headroom


Van der Graaf


When She Comes.  Gives me chills with how fucking great it is.

I wouldn't have picked Court of the Crimson King as the best Crimson.  Larks Tongue and Starless and Red are much better.  They did get the best Genesis album right, though.  And Rush?  I don't fucking think so.  Get the fuck outta here.

I agree Zappa Larks Tongue is way better but I think that they chose Court of the Crimson because at the time it was revolutionary? 

I was raised on Rush so yes I actually agree with that Rush should be up there.

Meh.  They never did much for me and I never considered them Progressive.

Hemispheres by rush is most certainly Prog. If you heard the book of Cygnus you might reconsider. I didn't think super tramp was Prog either. I'll get to 47 though for sure, thanks for the recommendation :thumbup:

Guaranteed product.  Crack the Sky





I never considered them prog.  They're basic rock and roll through and through.

It was excellent until the singer opened his mouth.  He is, in a word, awful

Yeah.  I don't agree with a lot of their inclusions as prog. 

Here's soemething they left off that I think is very good



I didn't see any Roxy Music there, either
