I should give Gabriel Genesis another listen. The first time I heard SEBTP, I wasn;t impressed. But I've grown very much as a critic and I'm sure I'll notice things in the album I've never noticed before.


Try The Lamb Lies Down On Braodway

King Crimson's Lizard deserves far more recognition. The opener "Cirkus" is one of the greatest things I've ever heard

I haven't checked that one out yet.

Where's the love for Rush? No votes for them still.


There may not be a lot of Rush fans here. I'm one of them. Permanent Waves was by far the best Rush album, because it's everything the band needs to be, heavy, hyper, and Geddy Lee. Clockwork Angels was a good album, but there were very few "hits." The only great song, "Headlong Flight," was far too lyrically redundant. 2112 was a great album which I need to give another listen. Good story with a twist ending.

It's quite a bit different from their debut.

If you think 2112 has a good story, try the two epic "Cygnus X-1" pieces. These make A Farewell to Kings and Hemispheres my two favorite Rush albums.

Can are prog/ krautrock. I wouldn't really go all out and call them the cringe worthy genre of 'experimental'.


As for this poll, Pink Floyd... even though they were only prog for a bit.

EDIT: I meant Arcade Fire. Arcade Fire are the best prog rock band of all time.

i started on rush before prog-era genesis with "2112" and "fly by night". When it comes to just being technicians of prog, they are the best.

Fine. You got me. I still don't like the name for the genre though. I try my best to avoid it when sorting albums in my library.

Plus, it's a popular tag on bandcamp. ๐Ÿ˜จ
