  • We all know there is no such thing as “perfect” but today I will attempt a fool’s errand and rank the most perfect of all Prog albums!!! (One per artist rule applies…) #progrock #prog #progressiverock

    Hey Scot, new to the channel, but I'm so glad you mentioned PFM Per Un Amico! I rarely see it get brought up in any conversations, and it deserves a lot more attention than it receives!

    • @TheProgCorner

      I’m a huge fan of Italian Prog: PFM, Le Orme, Banco, Area, etc

Right now, I'm listening to "Hand Cannot Erase". First time. It's beautiful! I am enjoying it even more than, "TRTRTS". A re-listen to "Ommadawn" is next.

    What a perfect show, you are awesome man!!
    When I saw the title of this show, two albums immediately jumped to mind and after thinking about it for several minutes, could only come up with two others I would qualify as perfect. It's tricky because perfect doesn't necessarily mean the ultimate favorite or the best...but darn close! I'm so stoked to see that 3 of the 4 were on your list...Leftoverture and The Grand Illusion (the first two Prog Albums I ever owned) and Thick as a Brick. The other album I consider perfect is the Snowgoose....Moonmadness or Mirage may be a bit better, but the Snowgoose is perfection to me!

Thanks for some suggestions of albums I've never heard, also! And not that it matters to anyone, I was hoping to see Fish Out Of Water (Chris Squire), which would have been my number one. I'd hoped prog would go more in that direction, but I guess I'm in the minority. A masterpiece.

    @theswordofaces1222 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I'm not sure what the criteria for "perfect" is, but IF it means "love every song/track on it" then my list would probably be VERY different from most others.
    Usually the FIRST one that pops into my head is Images and Words by Dream Theater.
    If I chose a Pink Floyd album, it would probably be Animals.
    I think you already know that my favorite albums by Kansas & Rush are Point of Know Return & Moving Pictures.
    For Genesis, I most likely would include Trick of the Tail. Not because I have ANYTHING against Peter Gabriel, but Like with most of my other choices, I think this album was the culmination, or peak of where they were heading, or "progressing'," and their sound really GELLED on this one. They had all of the elements that made them great: The PROG sound, the melodic sound, but it was quite a bit more "accessible" or "mainstream" then anything they had done before, so it was the kind of sound that could reach a wide audience without compromising what made MADE them Genesis.
    As for Yes, I would have a hard time deciding between The Yes Album, Close to the Edge, and 90125, as eclectic as that may sound.
    For ELP, I pretty much see their first album as something that they never surpassed.
    I'm not really much of a Styx fan these days, but in my younger years I ALSO would have picked The Grand Illusion.

Foxtrot wins there), and plenty that i don’t know well enough or at all. love new suggestions to seek out.

    I was/am a huge Kansas-fan.They don't seem to have the coolness or cult factor of a band like King Crimson and often tend to get overlooked imo.
    Also, as a somewhat conservative prog fan, it's nice to widen my horizon a bit with newer bands from your list.

You mentioned More Fool Me but the other thing that let it down was the rapid talking vocals towards the end of "Epping Forest".
