Symphony X is one of those bands that changed the way I listen to music, there is not one song that sounds bad, not one note that seems out of place they truly are one of the best to do it and I couldn't agree more with your breakdown on it! Thanks for sharing!
Great lists! I love all the ones mentioned that I've heard and there's a handful that I still need to check out. Good to see this collab between 2 great content creators!
I cannot overemphasize how much I love that album. I was already a huge Marillion fan when it came out and never could have imagined the band could create a pop-sounding prog masterpiece but it's absolutely what they did. Thanks for the note!
agreed. Among the fans, it's rarely regarded as 1 piece/suite, but a few years ago it hit me how it really is like 1 41-minute SUITE or PIECE. Although my fanboy bias included, I would list Grendel or Ocean Cloud, however neither are 20 minutes long.
@@mikevincent6332 Hmmmm, I…cannot agree. I really enjoy the lyrics; they reveal a yearning heartbroken man trying to move on and eventually succeeding. I’m guessing you’re referring to the political stuff near the end?
Fountain of Lamneth listed at 19:57, lmao. Just shy of the required length. I think I'm in the minority here, but Atom Heart Mother just doesnt do it for me. I never appreciated that album, and according to what I've read the band didnt really like that album, either. Gilmour actually called it 'a load of rubbish', and I find it hard to argue with him. Apologies if this gives anyone offense. For Prog lovers, if you've never heard Uriah Heap's The Magician's Birthday it's definitely worth a listen, though it's just over 10 minutes long so it wouldnt qualify for this list.
Naomi!!!!! We love Naomi!!!!

Marillion - Misplaced Childhood "Perfection" - agreed.

I bought it back around 85.or whenever it came out. its good musically but looking back at the lyrics, I cringe a bit
@@AllMediaReviewsPodcast Grendel is spectacular! I thought about it but yeah, not quite 20 minutes. One of the band’s underrated gems.

Tarkus out of the list? 😮
It was literally my “first out” pick and I debated between Tarkus and Dazed and Confused.
