    Besides the VDGG and PFM albums, which I have never heard, my ranking:
    17- Thick as a Brick
    16- Larks’ Tongues in Aspic
    15- In the Court of the Crimson King
    14- Red
    13- Foxtrot
    12- Selling England by the Pound
    11- Animals
    10- Fragile
    9- Mirage
    8- Nursery Cryme
    7- Moving Pictures
    6- Close to the Edge
    5- Hemispheres
    4- The Dark Side of the Moon
    3- Relayer
    2- Wish You Were Here
    1- Moonmadness
    Duke would be number 1 and The Lamb would be a top 5 at least, same for The Wall. A Farewell to Kings is my favorite Rush record too, basically Hemispheres but more accessible and dare I say, better. Also, I’d have countless Tull records over TAAB there: A, Minstrel, Aqualung, A Passion Play, Heavy Horses… But just my opinion, yours is a great list!

  • @NelsonMontana1234
    @NelsonMontana1234 15 дней назад +2

    I agree about Moonchild. Everyone , even at the time it was released, knew it was just hippy, dippy trippy filler. Though in retrospect, it would make a nice four minute tune. Just condense the last eight minute soundscape to 20 seconds and it's perfect. Oddly enough, as blasphemous as it may sound, and not to question it's greatness, but...the "I Get Up , I Get Down, section of Close To The Edge could use a bit of an edit. One less chorus and maybe 30 seconds of the washy atmospheric stuff. And the organ solo at the end didn't need to be repeated twice. But...that's me and my 2024 sensibilities.

I couldn’t be more on board with you, Scott> about topographic oceans and the lamb lies down on Broadway being two of my faves as well as I really dig Transatlantic’s’ the whirlwind ‘, ,I’d like to know where the hell is Tarkus’-by. ELP is probably my favorite masterpiece by them guys.! I’m in that camp that totally loves because I think for me it was the very first progressive rock album, pure and simple I heard-‘ in the court of the Crimson King’, man Greg Lakewith them. I don’t know why, that’s just up my alley.! also this might really piss off some of your progressive rock fans, but I always consider albums like’ to our children’s children’s children ‘by the great Moody blues as a sort of precursor possibly semi progressive British masterpiece album> I’m sure a lot of people will not see that as pure PROG/-, but I do! on a more serious note, oh man, hope this doesn’t get me in trouble but my least favorite thing is thinking about 2025 in America I’ll say no more no laugh out loud needed…., keep up the good work, brother ,you’re doing great!!!!

    Jon Anderson & Band Geeks True must be in your top 2 of your top 20 albums of 2024. In fact, I don't know what number one would be if not True. But I leave that spot open cause I trust your judgement if you think it's better than True. And that better be so outstanding that it beats Lamb and can compete with Tales.

    I am lazy Scot. So what I'll do is cut and paste the comment I made on Andy's show onto this one. I feel it's fairly apropos. The 20 that Progarchives has up there are pretty well what we proggers butter our bread with. Zero surprises there. So without further ado this is what I posted on Andy's show:
    "I love your list Andy. But when it comes to lists especially ones that purport to be the GOAT people really get their panties in a bunch. There is just no way that you are going to please everyone. But does it really matter? Of course not. We love what we love. Do we like it when people nod their heads up in and down and go on about how wonderful it all is? Of course we do. It just makes us feel all fuzzy and warm inside. It’s comforting to know that we are not the only ones that feel the way we do about certain albums. How boring it is to be affirmed. Oh well. Just keep on loving what you love and be happy with that."
    I've mentioned this kinda stuff before but it is truly how I feel. I don't really care what comes first or last on anyone's particular list. I'm interested in everybody's list. Why? Because, like me they love music! So there you have it. Anyways, off to see BEAT tonight. Looking forward to it. I saw the original 80s KC twice back in the day and looking forward to hearing them once again. Can't wait to hear how Steve will interpret Rob's parts. Should be interesting for sure.

    Love the idea and the list but mine looks a liiiiitle different:
    20. Animals
    19. Wish You Were Here (I find these albums, especially Animals, just so boring...)
    18. Moonmadness (Good, not my favourite Camel)
    17. Per un Amico
    16. Fragile (the band songs are among the best Yes ever did. The solo tracks are almost all wastes of time...)
    15. Mirage
    14. Pawn Hearts
    13. Nursery Cryme
    12. Moving Pictures
    11. Relayer
    10. Court of the Crimson King (agreed, the bookends are two of the best songs in prog but the middle sags)
    9. Dark Side of the Moon
    8. Selling England by the POund (Cinema Show is maybe my favourite song of all time, but Battle of Epping Forest sucks)
    7. Red
    6. Hemispheres (my personal fav. is Permanent Waves)
    5. Godbluff (I'd personally take Still Life over Godbluff, but Godbluff is a close 2nd)
    4. Foxtrot
    3. Close to the Edge
    2. Larks' Tongues in Aspic
    1. Thick as a Brick

      Interesting!!!! But I LOVE Epping Forest. Are you one of those “Gabriel sings too many words on The Battle Of Epping Forest” type of people??? Because he doesn’t. And it’s probably my favorite track on SEBTP. Or More Fool Me!!! jk

      @@TheProgCorner I just find that there's just not enough interesting going, musically or lyrically, to hold my attention or justify it being the longest song on the album. It's fun the first time but them I'm just like "okay guys lets get on with it". I think the band revisited the concept with the similar and much better "Robbery, Assault and Battery" on TOTT. If Epping Forest was 6-7 minutes long instead of almost 13, it'd be a solid tune.

    I laughed when you made fun of saying the short tracks on Fragile take away from it, couldn’t agree with you more! Albums should be rated by overall quality, not if every single track is seamlessly perfect from start to finish… those interludes are short for a reason. One or two minutes of palette cleanser then back to the meaty stuff!

    Progarchives hates ELP? In fact rather small discography + high level of rivalry from other bands. This said their debut is a masterpiece. And Trilogy too. I'll take them over Rush, Camel and those Italians any day.

    • @TheProgCorner

I think too little Jethro Tull there. Songs from the wood and Heavy Horses should be in. Gentle Giant? I prefer them live. My favourite album by them is Playing the Fool.

    You know, there's nothing wrong with the original Progarchives top 20. It's probably an accurate ranking of the older prog fans preferences taking into account the number of people who own or at least have heard the various records - that's the reason why there's only one Italian record - far fewer have heard the original RPI 'classics'. My own top 20 would include at least ten of the twenty but the other ten would be reasonably obscure or lesser known records. For me (and a few others) Pawn Hearts is number 1. What would be interesting is a top 20 from fans under 40.

    I would remove Pawn Hearts, Relayer, Per Un Amico & both Rush. I would replace with the 1st ELP, The Yes Album, Focus Hamburger Concerto, Genesis Trick of The Tail & Jethro Tull Aqualung. I love the Rush albums, but they are not part of the 1st wave of prog so I would rank further down the list. Just opinion, fun to make lists!

  • @UNIT-h2d

    Well now, what a strange list. Question: how is it possible to compile a '20 Great Prog Groups' and exclude ELP? Where, for that matter, are Gentle Giant? I don't particularly care, of course, because these lists are all largely subjective but the exclusion of ELP is frankly bizarre. What does Scott of Myth Of Logic have to say about it, I wonder?
    By the way, I remember clearly where I was the first time I heard Fragile and Close To The Edge - in my little room in east London in 2002 on a Friday afternoon - with these 2 CDs I'd bought from HMV in Oxford Street purely because UJ (who was then our flute player and main man in UNIT) urged me to do so. I sat there aghast! I could not believe what I heard. I found myself unable and unwilling to listen to anything else for the next 3 days. So, I thought to myself...that's what all the fuss is about! Next week I purchased ALL the other Yes albums from 1969 to 1978.
