    I definitely put a like on this video because it was great .
    Why was it great ?
    Because you truthfully admitted , right as you finished , that you were unhappy with it .
    There's no way that I agree with the order of your choices , but that's as it should be .
    Nobody can create the definitive version of the top 100 greatest prog albums , because , as you stated , the minute you've compiled it , you know that it's wrong .
    As we all know , these types of lists are fluid , and can change day by day , or even hour by hour , depending on what you've listened to lately .
    Anyway , there were times in the old days when I would painstakingly put together mix tapes of prog , and other genres , and then would listen to it , and see the flaws right away .
    All of this is just another way of saying , that's what makes it so much fun .
    I thoroughly enjoyed this video , and I look forward to your next flawed , and incorrect , version of this topic .
    Here's to never getting it quite right !

    Totally agree with you, Prog is a recent construct that fails to fully describe the explosion of musical talents of the late 60’s to mid 70’s, exploiting the album format, stereo, new recording technologies, new electronic instruments (mellotron, Moog etc.). Growing up then, the only contemporary term used I can remember is “Pomp rock”, used to cover ELP, Yes and Genesis. Well done you for this 🎉🎉🎉

    You did a very good job, Andy!!! Almost all the best prog-rock albums are listed here!! I couldn't understand why "Selling England.." by Genesis was missing but now we all know (you omitted "Aqualung" too). For me, the top 20 would be 20 Brain Salad Surgery ELP 19 Meddle Pink Floyd 18 Still Life Van der Graaf Generator 17 Thick as a Brick Jethro Tull 16 Nursery Cryme Genesis 15 The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway Genesis 14 Crime of The Century Supertramp 13 Free Hand Gentle Giant 12 In The Court Of The Crimson King King Crimson 11 Aqualung Jethro Tull 10 Red King Crimson 9 Wish You Were Pink Floyd 8 Close to The Edge Yes 7 Trilogy ELP 6 Foxtrot Genesis 5 Larks Tongues in Aspic King Crimson 4 Animals Pink Floyd 3 Fragile Yes 2 - Selling England By The Pound Genesis 1 The Dark Side Of The Moon Pink Floyd. Of course, if tomorrow I make my list it will be different. I love Camel and I missed "Moonmadness", I think "Crime of the Century" Supertramp should be in the top 100. Manfred Mann's Earth Band has some albums that could make it like "Nightingales & Bombers" or "Messin'". I like Barclay James Harvest but some prog-rock fans don't appreciate them because they are too Christian and too soft, even so, "Everyone is Everybody Else" is very good. Very glad you included Gryphon. I think IF could be here, a fine jazz-rock prog band. ah! A great choice is "Romantic Warrior" by Return To Forever. Marillion with Fish perhaps could fit in too. Greetings!! PS: Some names of albums are not well written. PS2 "Stand Up" is not the third album from Jethro Tull but the second and I find it excellent but in a blues-rock vein, perhaps "Benefit" would be better chosen. Gong I don't know/nor like so much, but we all have different tastes in music, in rock, in prog-rock. PFM, Focus, Finch, Anglagaard and Flower Kings are fine examples of excellent European prog-rock. Wobbler is another great band. José Cid "10000 anos depois entre Vénus e Marte" is a good European prog -rock album from my country: Portugal. Sorry for the long text. Hope I'll see more of your videos soon!! See you Andy!!!

    waaaaayyyyy toooo prog tunes to even design a conceptual framework in which to rank individual tunes ... no question 'supper's ready' is an incredible masterpiece but so are any number of Genesis, Rush, Floyd, ELP, Tull or Yes tunes ... southside of the sky/we have heaven, heart of the sunrise, gates or pick a couple of tunes off 'dark side of the moon' or 'meddle', or perhaps one of the most well known guitar pieces ever in comfortably numb. how about the full Cygnus X-1 ? Songs from the wood ? Thick as a brick ? Aqualung ? Tarkus ? so the question is what criteria could anyone possibly put together to rank any of these tunes ... def a brave undertaking Andy, you've opened yourself up for yrs of critique on this one lolol but worth every sec ... thanks for the effort and we're gonna hold you to further defining what PROG is !! ps ... perhaps the focus should be on the top 50 ... to hell with beyond that

If I were to compile a definitive list, it would by definition have one album per band, include Australia/New Zealand ( the third musical bastion of popular english language music), and exclude albums considered as mainstream rock by the majority of listeners, like DSOTM, and Led Zeppelin - they simply take up spots from bands/ albums that most fans may not have heard of or ever listened to, or dont even regard as prog. Also is the list prog rock, or does it also include prog folk, prog pop, prog psych...

Focus, and Traced in Earth are two of the best albums ever made in any genre, also think if dream theater made it, Chuck Schuldiner's Death, with Human, Individual Thought Patterns or Symbolic, deserve to be in any prog list ever. And also, Atheist, with Elements and Unquestionable Presence however metal and heavy they may be, deserve their place in such a list. Also before Dream Theater's Metropolis, i'd have put Porkupine's Fear of a Blank Planet, instead..., hehe. Cheers, will move on to watch ur fusion list and see how much i've heard snd if we agree!

    Great work! I would have had at least one of Peter Gabriel's early solo records on there.
    For me, if "Houses of the Holy" can get in there- maybe the Police's "Synchronicity" could find a spot:( "Every Breath You Take" aside} Most the cuts have high concept or fantasy lyrics. There's a lot of sophisticated instrumentation (if not outwardly athletic). And one or two just outright strange tracks.
    Given how big that record was, I think it's okay to look beyond the couple of "straight" tracks.

I didn't agree with you saying 'this album is a masterpiece!' Then the next one, rating higher, 'I don't like this as well, I'm just trying to make others happy.' If you include any to please others, they should be #90-#100.

      @@robyale I'm just going off online sources and where they say mandolin appeared on Zeppelin songs, I went through them to check Page's credits for mandolin, that's all I did. You could well be right and the sources wrong. Numerous sources state that pedal steel, 12 string acoustic guitars and mandolin is on the Tangerine recording though. I haven't re listened to the song.

I only found out today that Gentle Giant once supported Slade at The Marquee. I expect everyone else already knew that.

    This is a genuine question because I really don’t know, but have there really not been many women artists who can be thought of as having made really good prog albums? I caught ‘The Dreaming’ by the “Queen of prog rock” Kate Bush, and might have fast forwarded past other women you might have mentioned. It’s all very subjective but I would also have included Kate’s ‘Never Forever’ and ‘Hounds of Love’ albums.

    Great list. Such a shame there was no room for The Good Earth by Manfred Mann's Earth Band or Spyglass Guest by Greenslade or Journey by Arthur Brown's Kingdom Come. Interesting to see some Jazz Rock/Fusion bands included in this list. I wonder if some other albums by Fusion bands could have qualified as Progressive Rock. For example, Bundles by Soft Machine or Wardance by Colosseum II or Enigmatic Ocean by Jean Luc Ponty. Maybe even Masques by Brand X. It's hard to delineate with some of these wonderful works. But then I guess this list could easily have been 200 albums. So you have to draw the line somewhere. Oops! I forgot Crime Of The Century by Supertramp.

    • @spiritof6663
      @spiritof6663 6 месяцев назад +1

      I think "Meddle" is *exactly* the point where the Syd-less Floyd found their sound. In fact, to these ears it is pretty much the definitive Floyd album, surpassed only by "Wish You Were Here". "One Of These Days", "Fearless", and "Echoes" are all total stunners and that's over two-thirds of the album right there. "A Pillow Of Winds" is also horridly underrated. And the much-maligned "Seamus" is only 2 minutes long as it is and acts as a nice little comic relief in-between all the amazing epics.

    There are definitely many of my favourites in the Top 100. There are many, to my shame, I know by reputation but not by album.. so I have a lot to catch up on. I was never keen on the Canterbury bands. Always seemed a tad bland. There are a few albums that I would have placed on the list. Maybe they’re either not proggy enough or dismissed as pop? Curious to know. They are Pavlov’ Dog - Pampered Menial (David Surkamp has a voice only matched by Geddy Lee); Supertramp - Crime of the Century ( yes they quickly retreated to a pop sound but Crime of the Century I will argue until the cows come home is prog and good prog at that); Television - Marquee Moon ( now here me out, Television arose in the CBGB scene but if anyone created a punk prog album it was them. They had two virtuoso guitarist in Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd whose swirling improvisations are a joy to listen too. Marquee Moon tells stories of Lower Manhattan with a tenderness that is evokes a pastoral landscape.). Marquee Moon is recognised as a great rock album but I believe it is also a great prog album.
