| Top 5 prog albums
Here I will rank albums from the prog/art rock from 70s-80s | | 1 |  | King Crimson
In the Court of the Crimson King
My subjective opinion. When we talk about KC so many great works come to mind,.but.this album is one of the few there you do not see a lot of filler songs. Every song is a great piece of art from the first toast the last one | | 2 |  | Rush
Hemispheres
This was the album which introduced me to Rush. Compared to British prog this band was so much more guitar-driven and did not use keys at all. For me "la.villa strangiata" is one of the favourite prog instrumental pieces | | 3 |  | Genesis
Selling England by the Pound
This album does not need my description. Classic album by the great band in my favourite band formation | | 4 |  | Gentle Giant
Octopus
This was a hard choice. Love all their works, but this one wins. No average or filler song here. Every single one of them is great. | | 5 |  | Yes
Close to the Edge
Here I had doubts between fragile and close to the Edge, .but. the last one wins. In my opinion, this is a more mature album and here the reached the goal they did not quite reach in fragile. | |

Top 5 prog imo:
The Mothers of Invention - One Size Fits All
Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom
King Crimson - Lizard
Yes - Fragile (though Close to the Edge is amazing too)
Moody Blues - Days of Future Passed [not 70s/80s, but neither is Court ;)] | wham49
02.14.21 | there are better KC albums | Titan
02.15.21 | Rush fucking destroys everything mentioned in this thread imo | porcupinetheater
02.15.21 | These are some pretty decent prog albums, user Anal 992
Jam Univers Zero | hel9000
02.15.21 | 3 is amazing | Jethro42
02.15.21 | Camel, Renaissance, Triumvirat, Van Der Graaf Generator and Premiata Forneria Marconi...
Have you tried some of these?
I would add Jethro Tull, but it's cliché. | bigguytoo9
02.15.21 | Close To The Edge is better than Fragile but not my much honestly. The title track for Close.. is a top 3 YES song for me. | Mythodea
02.15.21 | @Jethro42 coming in with the memories of endless prog lists and convos. | Jethro42
02.15.21 | Yes Myth, there was a time here when prog heads were all around. They are less and less present now. Many of them left the building for good. Ah, nostalgia...When I see prog lists, I eat them :) | e210013
02.15.21 | Amazing list Ana. No matter the order of it or the other possible names that could perfectly took the place of these 5 albums. There are dozens of albums that could replaced them. Great to see a so incredible prog list. Congrats. This is great stuff, indeed. | ReefaJones
02.15.21 | " there was a time here when prog heads were all around. "
tbf it was mainly you, Nagrarok, Kill, MeatSalad and menawati responsible for 90% of the prog rock discourse :D | JokineAugustus
02.15.21 | I'm gonna have to prog more | Jethro42
02.15.21 | @Reefajones, you pretty much nailed it. There were also Dimor, Tarkus, Undertakerpt, NightmareCinema16, Anotherbrick, etc...I couldnt enumerate them all. | Mythodea
02.15.21 | Frippertronics, Torontonian, OmairSh, Onirium, JamieTwort, danielcardoso, TunaBoy, MeatSalad, Green Baron, BMDrummer, altertide0 and others I'm definitely forgetting, but I'm still loving! (those present in the thread, too, of course) | Jethro42
02.15.21 | Good times right there... | ReefaJones
02.15.21 | may they rest in peace | NorthernSkylark
02.15.21 | Yes. | Mythodea
