Genesis Foxtrot
Genesis Selling England by the Pound
Selling England By The Pound is a perfect concept album with wonderful lyrics, powerful symphonic music and great vocal work. It's one of the most solid albums in the music history and is my favourite album from them, despite Foxtrot was maybe a more emotional album and The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway was probably more ambitious. After all those years, I still prefer Selling England By The Pound. My favourite song on the album is Firth Of Fifth. It's one of my favourite songs and it's also one of the best and most progressive Genesis' songs. Firth Of Fifth and The Cinema Show are the two best tracks on the album. Selling England By The Pound belongs to a very rare class of ralbums, the masterpieces.
Jethro Tull Aqualung
Jethro Tull Thick as a Brick
Thick As A Brick is a very ambitious album. It combines successfully hard rock, jazz, and folk with great melodies which turn the album into a progressive rock opus. The music on this concept album is brilliant from the first to the last minute. Every single note sounds beautifully. Even now, when more than forty years passed, it still sounds great and better than ever. It is very easy to get into its music, and is much easier to listen to than many other progressive albums, which are much more complex and difficult to listen. Definitely, it crowns the genre of the progressive folk music.

Pink Floyd The Dark Side of the Moon
Pink Floyd Animals
Animals is the last album released by Pink Floyd that can achieve the status of a masterpiece. Sincerely, I do not agree with that. Animals is one of the three best albums from the group, with The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here and The Wall. Anyway, Animals is for sure the less known album of their great trilogy. It is not as easily accessible as The Dark Side Of The Moon, it is less personal than Wish You Were Here and it has a less interesting story and less familiar songs than The Wall. It is also shorter than most of the Pink Floyd albums. However, it is a great album, a true landmark in the progressive rock music.

Area Arbeit Macht Frei
Arbeit Macht Frei is a truly and pure jazz rock/fusion album and is one of the best releases of this genre. I really don't know if I prefer it or Crac!. Anyway, Arbeit Macht Frei is a great album, one of the best jazz rock/fusion albums made in the 70 and is one of the best Italian progressive albums of all time, putting Area at the same level of their compatriots, Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso, Premiata Forneria Marconi and Le Orme.
Area Crac!
Crac! is one of the best progressive albums of Area and represents a landmark in the Italian progressive music. It has also some of the best popular and known songs from the band, like Le Elefante Bianco, La Mela Di Odessa and Gioia I Rivoluzione. These songs quickly became some of the most performed live by the band, keeping the long instrumental parts that have become as one of the mainly characteristics of the group. Area is really a very special band and Crac! is surely also a very special album. It is definitely one of the most influential albums of the 70 in the Italian progressive scene. This is a classic album in its genre, and it is for those who love to listen to something different, fresh and new. Sincerely, this album should be part of every progressive or jazz musical collection.

Emerson, Lake and Palmer Brain Salad Surgery
Emerson, Lake and Palmer Trilogy
Emerson, Lake and Palmer Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Emerson, Lake & Palmer is an excellent first album. It's fluent and beautiful, it has moody keyboards, memorable guitar lines, immaculate drumming and above all, a great vocal work by Lake. It features very strong compositions and a magnificent and inspired musicianship. Emerson takes the band music in his own hands on many occasions. Are his virtuoso skills that have become the defining factor on the band music. However, Lake and Palmer deserve also a prominent spot. This album is with Brain Salad Surgery the two best ELP studio works.
Emerson, Lake and Palmer Tarkus
Emerson, Lake and Palmer Welcome Back To The Show That Never Ends
This is a fantastic live album with a great sound. The songs are almost from the two best studio albums of the band, Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Brain Salad Surgery. The exception is the music suite Tarkus, which is simply one of their best pieces. However, I regret that Trilogy be an album very few represented on this live work. I would like the band had chosen their trilogy piece The Endless Enigma (Part One), Fugue and The Endless Enigma (Part Two), or even the title track Trilogy instead of Jeremy Bender/The Sheriff. This is one of their best works. I really think that we are in presence of one of the greatest live albums from the 70.

Genesis The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway is largely a Gabriel concept and represents his swansong with Genesis. It is a pity that after this great album Gabriel had to leave the band. However, in a every way, it is a considerable and lasting achievement work and it will be always a milestone in the entire band work. It represents also a milestone in terms of double concept albums. They had gone as far as they could together. What would have been Genesis if Gabriel remained in the group? We never know. The true is that with The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, Gabriel left the band through the large door.
Genesis Trespass
Trespass is the sweetest, delicate, fragile, romantic, innocent, naive and pure album of Genesis and it has their first masterpiece, The Knife. This is the best known song of the album and their heaviest too. As we know, Genesis became known as a group that have never explored the hard and heavy rock territories. So, The Knife represents that style. However, Return Of The Giant Hogweed and The Musical Box of Nursery Crime contain also serious heaviness elements. Trespass has a certain mystic artistic aura. It is full of emotions that flow nicely and elegantly from poetic, impressionist and pastoral mood to aggressive and dramatic theatrical scenes that only Genesis can do.

Jethro Tull Living in the Past
Living In The Past is an original collection of Jethro Tull songs that brings us some new songs, previous released music and two live tracks combined in a double album. Probably, many have only the original studio versions of the first four Jethro Tull studio albums. So, they do not have most of these songs. By the other hand this compilation has also two fantastic live songs, with a very good sound quality which is really remarkable in those times. Finally, it has also some songs unable to be found in any studio album of the group. So, Living In The Past is a seminal and an essential compilation for any Jethro Tull fans. It is a great completion to their fourth studio albums.

Marillion Misplaced Childhood
Besides being the Marillion most commercially successful album, Misplaced Childhood is probably their best studio album in the Fish era, and is certainly also their better work til today. And it is also one of the best studio albums ever produced in the progressive rock music. Even the former and ex-drummer of Dream Theater, Mike Portnoy, commented that this was the best Marillion album of all time. With Misplaced Childhood, Marillion proved definitely they were not a clone of Genesis. With it they reached the status of being considered one of the best progressive bands, especially in the Fish era. Without any doubt, Misplaced Childhood eventually put Marillion on the same level of the greatest progressive bands of the 70, the bands they so admire. They became also one of the most influential progressive bands of all time.

An incredible album by an incredible band with beatiful music. Their music represents the Baroque style at its best. The classical arrangements in this band is really interessant and amazing. Scheherazade And Other Stories is a great album and it can be considered one of the most representative progressive albums from the 70. Scheherazade And Other Stories is for sure one of the best progressive albums ever released and Song Of Scheherazade is certainly one of the best classic progressive songs ever recorded. Many people consider it their best album. It is a landmark of modern music and deserves to be part of every collection.

Yes The Yes Album
The Yes Album is one of the most important albums for Yes. It was their first commercial success, it was their first album with only original songs, it was their first democratic album with each member doing their own contributions, it was the first time the band explored longer songs, it was their first album with their new guitarist Steve Howe, it was their last album, for more than 12 years, featuring Tony Kaye until 1983 with their album 901252 and it was their first great studio work. The Yes Album is not inferior to Fragile. Fragile is not a uniform and cohesive collective effort of Yes. It has only four band tracks because the other five are individual tracks. So, Fragile is somehow an unbalanced album while The Yes Album is a collective effort and its best songs are at the same level of the best songs of Fragile. With The Yes Album we can feel, for the first time, what the band want to do and the foundations of their music.

Genesis Live
This is a well recorded live album, heavily featuring songs from Nursery Cryme and Foxtrot and closing with The Knife. Unfortunately, the record company decided to limit it to one disc, so fans had to wait 20-some years for a box set to hear the live version of Supper is Ready that should have been on here. Despite that glaring error, this is still one of the great live albums of the 70 I like. Although I do know I am missing quite a bit without getting to see Peter Gabriel in his costumes. The artwork of this album, specifically the vinyl version, features a stream-of-consciousness companion story written by Gabriel, done in a style that only Gabriel could do. So, despite be not a masterpiece, this is really a great live work and represents an indispensable purchase for all lovers of the real good music.
Gentle Giant Gentle Giant
I am a big Gentle Giant fan. Gentle Giant was one of the pioneer bands of the progressive rock music and is also one of their bigger and best representative groups. Gentle Giant is an excellent debut album. It's probably their less complex musical work and it is for sure their most hard and heavy rock album. We must not forget that this is an album of 1970 and therefore one of the first progressive rock albums in the history. However, this album already have some of the main characteristics of their future music like the avant-garde and experimentalism, the fusion of rock, blues and jazz, the influences of the renaissance and medieval music and the prolific use of the multi-musical instruments.

Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin III
Led Zeppelin III is another excellent Led Zeppelin album. Considering the band catalogue as a whole, the many acoustic tracks here make for a fine contrast with their generally heavy material. When gathered in the form of a single album however, the results are somehow out of character and seems to be demanding. In terms of prog influences, Led Zeppelin III probably had the less than any other of the early albums. Some prog folk bands may have explored similar territories, but their roots in that area were well established by the time this album was released. I like the album very much. With it, they proved to be one of the best and most complete rock bands in history. With it, they ended the third part of he trilogy, the folk rock part.
Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin is an excellent and a very powerful debut album. It is a very strong and well balanced album without masterpieces but also without any weak points, despite Your Time Is Gonna Come be probably its weaker track. Led Zeppelin is a more blues rock oriented album. So, for a debut album, Led Zeppelin has a very interesting powerful collection of songs and is full of originality and invention. Even the blues versions of the two Willie Dixon songs are great. It is the first part of a trilogy with their two following studio works. This represents the blues part of the trilogy.
Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin II
Despite I like very much of Led Zeppelin II, I must confess that I always preferred Houses Of The Holly and especially Led Zeppelin IV, which are probably my two favourite studio albums of them, to Led Zeppelin and Led Zeppelin II. However, I consider Led Zeppelin II an excellent album, very well balanced and without weak points. This is probably my third choice. It has many great songs, especially Whole Lotta Love, which is the great highlight on the album. It is the second part of the trilogy with the previous and the following studio work. This album represents the heavy rock part of the trilogy.

Everything on Heritage sounds rich and full, mostly thanks to the use of analogue recording methods and other old hardware like real mellotrons and Hammond organs. The vintage musical treatment of Akerfeldt signature melodic sensibilities helps to consummate a unique world teaming with the beauty of Scandinavian folk and jazz while exuding the aura of some of the 70 darker psychedelic style. His vocal melodies are perhaps the most brilliant he has ever delivered, and has no growls. The album signals a departure from the musical style of Opeth previous studio albums. A depart from the metal sound that Opeth has been pursuit for much of their preceding musical career.

Porcupine Tree The Incident
The Incident is really a very good album, more acoustic and less heavy than the last ones. It is an album with two CD. The first CD is an ambitious musical project with fifty five minutes divided into fourteen separated tracks. The second CD has only four tracks. The second CD explores the same line relatively to the lyrics, is also about incidents, but musically it shows the more experimental side of Wilson. The second CD is a kind of a bonus CD. I'm sure The Incident is the rmost autobiographical album by Wilson. All the songs are a little personal. Probably this is not an album to everyone. It takes some time to absorb it. However, I am sure The Incident is a great album. Probably, we expected too much of it.

For those who are familiar with Wilson and Akerfeldt works, it should not take to much time to figure out who wrote the ideas. Each musician has a very particular music style and both sounds in equal proportion on the album. The string arrangements, melodies and song structures have the immediately distinctive signature of both musicians. However, Storm Corrosion style is very fresh and even unique. This is not the ultimate masterpiece that we expected, but there is no disappointment here. Storm Corrosion is a memorable ambient journey, taking Wilson and Akerfeldt down a darker path than either has been before. It is great to accompany these two great visionaries musicians as they explore new and fresh territories with their music.

Yes Tales from Topographic Oceans
Tales From Topographic Oceans is an innovator and courageous album. Some consider it pretentious, ambitious, megalomaniac and lengthy. I do not agree. It is as good as it gets for Yes, besides Close To The Edge and Relayer. It is almost impossible to follow up a masterpiece like Close To The Edge, without disappointing a great amount of fans. I really think that Tales From Topographic Oceans belongs to the rare kind of albums that achieved the status of being a masterpiece: However, this is not a consensual feeling. Soon it was released, it becomes a Yes too underappreciated piece of music.

Genesis Duke
I have difficulty to define the music on Duke. However, it is not a bad album. Somehow I have the feeling that it partially failed. It has two great tracks Duke Travels and Duke End, a good track Heathaze, two great pop songs Misunderstanding and especially Turn It On Again, but the rest of the album does not call much my attention. So, the final result is an indefinite album. I think that after the release of ...And Then There Were Three? the band searched to do something different and more commercial, to break with their past. However, I think on Duke they had not the courage, or they were unwilling, to cut radically with their past.

Van der Graaf Generator The Aerosol Grey Machine
As with From Genesis To Revelation, many do not consider The Aerosol Grey Machine a real Van Der Graaf Generator album. It is true it was intended to be the first Peter Hammill solo album and lacks to it the presence of David Jackson. However, it has some of the main characteristics of the group. Here we have the complex, dark and beautiful lyrics of Hammill and his original and unique voice, it has the presence of the keyboard sound of Hugh Banton and it has the special drumming of Guy Evans. Anyway, despite The Aerosol Grey Machine not be a great album, it is better than the Genesis album. The Aerosol Grey Machine has a single place in the group because is a unique album very simple and almost acoustic.

Gentle Giant The Missing Piece
The Missing Piece is the most accessible studio album and has also good quality, released by Gentle Giant. If we forget three of its songs, Betcha Thought We Could Not Do It, Who Do You Think You Are? and Mountain Time, The Missing Piece is really a very good album. The Missing Piece is probably their last studio album that deserves be listen. Giant For A Day is really weak and the sound of Civilian is to much different from the usual sound of their albums. So, despite the three tracks, I strongly recommend this album, because taking out those tracks, we are in presence of the last great album of a great band.
