Fischman, would you count Dream Theater's 12 Step Suite?

Probably not. I think of that more like a song cycle than an individual suite. Much like Rush's 'Fear' sequence.

How about Mike Oldfield plays Tubular Bells ??

For those with a more metallic bent in their prog, Fates Warning's eight-part Ivory Gates of Dreams (side 2 of No Exit) is worth a listen

(I'll avoid albums that are also suites, because then I'd just be listing prog bands.)

And if I feel like playing fast and loose with this thread's genre restraints:

Sarabande by Jon Lord

My favourite. It helps that Lord played with the orchestra of my home town.

Thought of some more I always liked.

Karn Evil 9.... Emerson Lake and Palmer

Hamburger Concerto...Focus

Anonymous 2...Focus

Hero and Heroine...Strawbs

A Passion Play... Jethro Tull

And here's some that aren't quite considered prog-rock today, but they used some of the most common characteristics often associated with prog rock; orchestral or symphonic rock, and Jazz Rock. And they work in the same way when you're listening to them. After all, there wasn't just one style of prog rock. And all these are pretty good.

Ocean Breakup/ King of the Universe/Bluebird Is Dead/Oh No Not Susan/New World Rising/Ocean
Breakup (Reprise).... Electric Light Orchestra -side one of "On the Third Day"


Chicago lll...... It has not one, not two, but THREE suites.

Travel Suite
Hour in the Shower
Elegy

Chicago ll.....

Ballet for a Girl in Buchannon
It Better End Soon- Four Movements

Alan Parsons Project.... Turn of a Friendly Card

@SquishypuffDave Great to see you already mentioned Anesthetize! I love it so much.

Apart from the classics already mentioned I would go with my overal #2 called "Doomsday Afternoon" by Phideaux in which the first and last songs "Micro SoftDeathstar" and "Microdeath Sofstar" are brilliant and serve as a perfect introduction and a conclusion to the whole album.


Doomsday Afternoon by Phideaux.

For those of you who are more into prog metal, the 15 minute "Second Life Syndrome" of the same album. Different mellow and hard moments with lovely guitar-keyboard dialogues.


Second Life Syndrome by Riverside
