V cool avatar. I find it fascinating that Fripp and John Dietrich are both left-handers playing right-handed. Maybe it helps them in the left/right brain dissociation which you hear in both their playing, in pieces like the brilliant Look Away from Friend Opportunity, or The Night Watch from Starless and Bible Black.
A few I forgot in the previous video, no particular order. Fleetwood Mac: Self-titled, Rumours( first two with Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, RIP Christine McVie) Eagles: Hotel California ( although I'm tired of it now, but, back in the day, a favorite) Eurythmics: Revenge/Touch Linda Ronstadt: Hasten Down The Wind( and a fabulous catalog) Bob Seger: Night Moves, Stranger In Town Steve Miller: Book Of Dreams Eric Clapton: Slowhand The Bangles: Different Light Jackson Browne: Running On Empty/Hold Out Also, two movie soundtracks: Saturday Night Fever FM( mediocre movie, great soundtrack, lots of big artists)
Great choices Scot. Kudos for that Devo pick. What an album! I had to toss a coin to pick between Cars debut or Candy O. (The self titled release won) Also had trouble finding a clear cut Talking Heads album. (Went with '77)
@@TheProgCornerbody mentions them. You know your stuff. I’ve been listening to “The Gilded Palace of Sin” by Flying Burrito Brothers especially the song Sin City. I probably would have put Let it Be by Replacements and Glee by Branvan 3000. I like all those records you mentioned but I am completely unfamiliar with that Canadian collective group so thanks for that.
The first one is great, the one with the tooth brush. Just loved that record when it was about. The Mercy Seat was a favorite song of mine for quite som time.
Scott: Great list! What broad tastes you have! Have you listened to The Revolutionary Army of the Infant Jesus? Considering your love of prog, art-rock, post-punk, and post-rock, I think you'd like them. Their 2015 "comeback" album Beauty Will Save the World was my introduction, and it blew my mind. I've described their sound and aesthetic to friends as what might happen if Current 93 converted to Eastern Orthodoxy or if My Life in the Bush of Ghosts had been recorded in a Byzantine monastery. I recommend any and all of their albums, but especially Beauty Will Save the World and Mirror.
Hey Scot! Everything went wrong yesterday! Had everyone from DTE to the fire department here. Had to call the plumbers back. They were here until 11pm. Got home with my groceries only to realize I left my phone and checkbook in the cart. Flew back to store! Someone found them outside and actually handed them in! Couldn't believe it!! So don't you love it when someone says this album should of been on your list? Do they not understand that this is your list and not theirs!!! If I only had a brain! Great song Scarecrow!! Would of been here sooner but got caught up in the chat for hours! Hour 5590. Later bro.🔈🔉🔊😎
10cc deceptive Bends.. Never Mind The Bollocks. Powaqqatsi. Philip Glass Sensual World. Kate Bush. Cat people. Soundtrack. Free Live. Exodus. Bob Marley. Led Zep III BLACK. Evanescence. And loads of others... I don't know how you do it Scot! Amazing.
Hey Scott. Different vibe for Arctic Monkeys , but really climbing my non prog listening list is their album ' Tranquility base hotel and casino '. I can hear Radiohead in there , Beatles in there , can't recommend it highly enough....a modern-ish retro concept album. Love this ATM.. 😍
Now that both of your lists are done I realized a couple of things. Despite how much I love prog, I ended up knowing more of the non prog albums here which a good chunk of them I've also listened to. There are a lot of prog albums that I've heard of in your list but I haven't actually checked them out yet. I guess that's probably because prog was the first ever music genre I got into and desite never being bored of it I just wanted to get out of my comfort zone and listen to more genres; but I really should get back to prog. The other thing I realized is that we have a lot of common favorites. I'll just leave my list (both prog and non prog) and by the way I'm not sticking to one album per artist, there's just some bands like Pink Floyd, Radiohead, GY!BE that I really adore.

ANOTHER GREAT SHOW, IM DEFINALTY GOING TO CHECKOUT YOUR NO 1 PICK, I BOUGHT SENSES WORKING OVERTIME BUT NEVER WENT ANY FURTHER, KEEP UP THE GREAT SHOWS, RESPECT AND PEACE FROM THE UK
Wow Scot I don’t even know where to begin with this. Your taste in music is just as extreme and diverse as mine is. But variety is king ! And thanks to my brother, I also own a copy of the Neutral Milk Hotel album. It’s definitely a horse of a different color but it’s growing on me. Oh and you’re dead on with The Bends and Ritual De Lo Habitual. The best of both worlds from those 2 bands. And I don’t anyone else who’s into both God’s Speed and Wire. You’re tripping me out dude. You’ve you really hit the nail on the head with the more obscure side of music. No wonder I keep tuning in to your show. Great stuff !
Right on Scott🎉We could sit down a whole day with beers and go through playing this list with the majority in common, although I would exclude/rerank and include several other indie rock, post-punk and post-rock albums. Including for instance Fugazi, Unwound, Jesus Lizard, New Radiant Storm King, Slint, Karate….But much in common dude💪
@@TheProgCorner Scott, bummer 🌟we should have had that listening and beer session before then, and I could perhaps have persuaded you about including Slint🤓 (by way of filling an important gap a review of post-rock albums might be a good thing 😉)
I really like seeing and hearing about all the music you get in to. Great show as usual Scot brother . Thanks for the Nektar love from last video . Peace and PROG on ✌️✌️💥
Your knowledge of all music never ceases to amaze me Scot. I thought Deep Purple's 'Machine Head' might be on your list somewhere, it sure is on mine. Good job as always!🤩What's next if I may ask?
Hi Craig . If you like Stereolab then the French duo - Air are well worth checking out . The first album ; Moon Safari is a great place to start. Also , please consider listening to the following two instrumental albums - Blow Up vol. 1 and Blow Up vol. 2 ....both you'll find on you tube and both feature legendary British session men including Alan Hawkshaw and Keith Mansfield playing the funkiest Hammond organ. This is late 60's into 70's library music at its best.
@@TheProgCorner Talkie Walkie is great as well - then again all of their catalogue is worth checking out ; as are the two instrumental albums I mentioned . Another band you might enjoy are the British band - Belle and Sebastian and finally , the album ; Luna by The Aliens
You are doing so well! Our taste in music is quite similar but divergent as regards punk. I suppose that's because of where we were brought up and our ages? Most of my punk influences are from the UK, with the exception of The Ramones and Iggy. Sex Pistols album on your shelf, nearly got me suspended from school, when I played it on the school record player, piped through the PA system. The headmaster was far from amused!!! He didn't like my long hair either!
So great to go with the first Smiths rather than The Queen Is Dead; and to go with Fear Of Music as TH:s best; totally agree! Fear Of Music kinda changed my life, could be top 5 with me. And then Friend Opportunity .... Was waiting for Deerhoof. Great list!
I see what you did there… Constant exposure throughout the video over your left shoulder works for me. Fascinating list! No Taylor Swift or Osmonds anywhere, though? 😉
I appreciate a lot of the choices on your list. I'm a big Wire fan and 154 is one of my favorite albums of all time. You Forgot It In People by Broken Social Scene is another one I'm pretty fond of. And though Paranoid is the one I would have picked, I don't know that Tony Iommi ever sounded better than he did on Vol 4. And that Neutral Milk Hotel Album was an acquired taste for me. You can count Jeff Mangum among a line of American eccentrics going back to Captain Beefheart, Frank Zappa and Roky Erickson, not to mention David Thomas. Question: have you ever thought of doing a video with Andy Edwards? It would be fun listening to you and he talk about Prog and Jazz-Fusion, given all your collective energy and enthusiasm. If you haven't, please consider it.
Great list. Here are my 25 favourite non-Prog albums always I keep coming back to (alphabetical order, so no ranking!) Couple of live album cheats in there... but anyway... Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell (1980) Blondie - Parallel Lines (1978) Boston - Boston (1976) David Bowie - Scary Monsters (1980) The Cult - Sonic Temple (1989) Deep Purple - Burn (1974) Dio - Holy Diver (1983) ELO - Out of the Blue (1977) Fields of the Nephilim - Dawnrazor (1987) Fleetwood Mac - Rumours (1977) Iron Maiden - Powerslave (1984) Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy (1973) Magnum - On a Storyteller's Night (1985) Motörhead - Overkill (1979) Gary Numan - Splinter (2013) Rainbow - Rising (1976) Roxy Music - Siren (1975) Saxon - Denim and Leather (1981) Sex Pistols - Never Mind the ... (1977) Simon and Garfunkel - The Concert in Central Park (1981) Simple Minds - Once Upon a Time (1985) Sisters of Mercy - Floodland (1987) Suede - Suede (1993) U2 - The Unforgettable Fire (1984) UFO - Strangers in the Night (1979)
The way you get into the non-prog albums I'd venture to guess you like them better. Thought for sure Bad Religion was coming. What is for favorite BR album btw, Crossbuster?
I've never heard Blonde Redhead, but I looked up that rekkid you're talkin' about and saw that Skúli Sverrisson plays bass thereon. I saw Sverrisson twice with Gary Husband and Steve Hunt in Allan Holdsworth's band, in the early 90's, supporting Hard Hat Area (I think . . . . ) Dude could play. Holdsworth played wonderfully but never seemed happy with anything. 🙃
Haggai love your channel and you mentioned you had to go to jail a few years ago, just wondering if you could expand on that if you wouldn't mind sharing why you had to go
I try. I really try. But I can’t help myself. I know it’s a bit EXTRA but the channel keeps growing so people are digging my vibe. (Yeah, I don’t get it either.) DISARM THE SETTLERS!!!
I bought the album Boys don't cry after Head on and Kiss and Holy crap did it blow my mind!!! The songs I hadn't heard to that point were so mesmerizing!!🤯👊
Good stuff...a few I would have had up there, in no particular order (will tell you a bit about me =)... Paul McCartney - Ram Alice Cooper - Schools Out, Welcome to my Nightmare Barenaked Ladies - Stunt Crowded House - Woodface Nick Heyward - From Monday to Sunday Guster - Last and Gone Forever Harry Nilsson - Schmilsson, The Point Lindsey Buckingham - Out of the Cradle George Harrison - Living in the Past Duran Duran - Wedding Album Art Garfunkel - Watermark The Doors - LA Woman Jimmy Hendrix - Are you Experienced Santana - S/T Liz Phair - S/T Steely Dan - Countdown to Ecstacy Todd Rundgren - Something Anything The Kinks - Soap Opera Jude Cole - A View from 3rd Street Cat Stevens - Tea For the Tillerman Coldplay - Parachutes Toad the Wet Sprocket - Dulcinea Pet shop Boys - Very Toy Matinee - S/T Soundtracks: Spring Awakening, Le Miz, Chess Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road James Taylor - JT Robbie Williams - The Ego Has Landed Johnny Hates Jazz - Turn Back the Clock Neil Diamond - I'm Glad You're Here With Me Tonight And for me, it's Skylarking (have a signed copy by Todd Rundgren =), Paranoid and Abbey Road Many of those were my "classical music" to my prog addiction growing up. =)
Those are just the ones that you didn’t mention. Obviously I listened to and liked many of the ones you mentioned as well. You should do the occasional program on Prog Radio where you spin all your favorite non-Prog music.
"Love all his (their) work, but I hate the guy" is very quotable. Unlike your Top 15 there were less acts that I'd never heard of (in Australia,"halfway between the U.S. and England" in addition to being "slightly" older than you. Like your recent prog top 40 I will investigate some of the one's I don't know and re-listen to the one's I do.
Hi Scot! I want to make a very good recommendation. Do you know the band Os Mutantes? Os Mutantes is a Brazilian band from the 60s and 70s, at the beginning of their career (1968 to 1972) they made songs in the style of Psychedelic Rock and Tropicália (Tropicália is a musical style from Brazil that mixes Rock with some Brazilian rhythms such as Samba, Bossa Nova and MPB) in 1973, after lead singer Rita Lee was expelled from the band, they changed their style to Progressive Rock, and made two incredible albums ! in 1974 the sensational "Tudo Foi Feito Pelo Sol" was released, and in 1975 they recorded the album "A e o Z" (but it could only be released in 1992 because of low sales). If you want some recommendations, I recommend the albums: "Os Mutantes" (1968) "A Divina Comédia Ou Ando Meio Desligado" (1970) "Mutantes E Seus Cometas No País Do Baurets" (1972) Tudo Foi Feito Pelo Sol (1974) "A" E O "Z" (1992) I hope you like the recommendations. Thank you very much for your work.
I know Os Mutantes!!! I was actually turned on to them in the eighties when David Byrne from Talking Heads was RAVING about them in an interview so I had to check them out. Amazing stuff. I’m thinking about doing Brazilian Prog episode…
@@TheProgCorner bands like "Som Nosso de Cada Dia", "A Barca do Sol", "Terreno Baldio", "O Terço" and "Casa das Máquinas" are a great start for Brazilian prog!

Right? Well, I was 15 when the debut came out but I was wrong. Candy O came out in 1979 so I was 16. Perfect albums for that time in a young man’s life!!!
I definitely love too many different kinds of music. 60s Rock, Psychedelic, 90s Alternative, Metal, Power Pop, Folk, Post Punk/Rock/Metal. At least all the proggy stuff is on the list for the other video. So I could "narrow" it down to 60. 🙂I mostly went with my most listened albums, these aren't neccessarily the ones I consider the best. 1. Beach Boys - Pet Sounds 2. Queen - II 3.

@@TheProgCorner Pink FLoyd are in my Prog and non Prog list. They changed so drastically, almost as if they were 2 bands. And on Monday Nick Mason is in the town and plays most of the stuff. 🙂
Have you heared Boston's Walk On ? For me it's their strongest album since the debut. Listen to the title track if nothing else. Some great hammond playing from Tom Scholz. I hear you when you talk about Rainbow Rising. I remember telling a freind that Blackmore couldnt beat Deep Purple but he played Rising in the car and it blew my mind. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath will always be my favourite Sabs album. They expanded their palette on that one thanks to inviting Wakeman as YES where recording in the same studio. Lead to a lifelong friendship with Ozzy and giving Rick's son Adam a job in his touring band. Agree with Queen's SHA, it went downhill after that. Never a fan of VH, remember buying the debut and instantly taking a dislike to Roth's vocal. I think he was the reason why they where really just an American phenomenon. They never had that level of success in overseas territories. Agree on Bowie's Ziggy, he could have made that a double, some great stuff left off plus he never replaced Ronno.
Yeah, he turned Bowie down and opted for YES. I think Bowie would have just continued to use him as a studio musician as on Hunky Dory. The other Bowie YES connection was Tony Kaye playing in his touring band, cant remember which tour though?
In a way, DEVO are a prog band in that they tore down conventional approach to music. Even though much of it was tongue in cheek, it was bold and innovative. And they were more influential than many people realize.
Rocks is absolutely the best Aerosmith album. And I completely agree on Boston. I don't listen to anything after the debut. Have to admit I didn't know many of the bands.
I love Sigur Rós...one of the best bands of the last 20 years. To me, post-rock/indie-rock IS the progressive rock of the 21st century. BTW, it's pronounced "OW-guy-tiss BEER-yun." Also, all of the songs on that album are in genuine Icelandic except for Olsen Olsen, which is in "Hopelandic" (their made-up language.)

I’m as white as they come. I don’t want swing, groove or whatever in my music. I want incredible melodies and chord progressions and bizarre time signatures - things that light up the neural network in my brain!!!
@@TheProgCorner it's all good lol. Rhythmic music has all that and jazz gets pretty far out there in chords structure and time signatures. So are you saying you don't like artists like Ry Cooder, the meters, little feat, Allman bros, or the rhythm blues in general? , it's a whole other rabbit hole to go down and life's a trip ya know lol. Just messing with ya no harm intended. My only prerequisite for music is that the musicians have to be either competent or so self depreciating that you can't help but love em. Ya gotta have some rhythm to get those women up on the dance floor loosening their inhibitions.

@@TheProgCorner wow 49 of 50. Thats impressive! Didnt think that smaller swedish bands/artists like coffinshakers and christian kjellvander had much recognation outside of sweden. You are very well versed in music scot!!!
@@TheProgCorner ah, ok. If you are not familier with kjellvander, he is a singer/songwriter. His music is very dark and the pitcher, misspelled on the list, hits extra hard i think cause it was the first album he released after the death of his little brother. Very sad and beautiful album.
I agree that Ágætis byrjun is Sigur Rós’ best album, but you have it way too low! 😅 Also, they do sing a lot in their made-up language, but the album title is regular old Icelandic… it means “a pretty good start”. I’ll say it was!
I Jumped for joy when you pulled out The smiths first album. What a diverse collection!
That album holds a special place in my heart. Yeah everyone loves The Queen Is Dead (and for good reason) but that debut…every song slays.
@@TheProgCorner 'England is mine and it owes me a living' What a great songwriter! Scott love your videos.
I'm with you on Radiohead. The Bends is my favorite album of theirs and I also really like Pablo Honey, with it being a highly underrated album.
Everyone hates on Pablo Honey! I think it’s amazing.
Pablo Honey, King of Limbs, Amnesiac, whoever hates them they don't know! Radiohead NEVER misses, it's a flawless band.
Their worst album is better than most band’s best album.
V cool avatar. I find it fascinating that Fripp and John Dietrich are both left-handers playing right-handed. Maybe it helps them in the left/right brain dissociation which you hear in both their playing, in pieces like the brilliant Look Away from Friend Opportunity, or The Night Watch from Starless and Bible Black.
That might explain a few things!!!
Didn't know Fripp was Southy. Cool. Figures. Explains his genius, like Hendrix, who shook Fripp's left hand, being closer to his heart, he said.
A few I forgot in the previous video, no particular order.
Fleetwood Mac: Self-titled, Rumours( first two with Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, RIP Christine McVie)
Eagles: Hotel California ( although I'm tired of it now, but, back in the day, a favorite)
Eurythmics: Revenge/Touch
Linda Ronstadt: Hasten Down The Wind( and a fabulous catalog)
Bob Seger: Night Moves, Stranger In Town
Steve Miller: Book Of Dreams
Eric Clapton: Slowhand
The Bangles: Different Light
Jackson Browne: Running On Empty/Hold Out
Also, two movie soundtracks:
Saturday Night Fever
FM( mediocre movie, great soundtrack, lots of big artists)
I almost added Hotel California and Rumors!!!
Great choices Scot. Kudos for that Devo pick. What an album! I had to toss a coin to pick between Cars debut or Candy O. (The self titled release won) Also had trouble finding a clear cut Talking Heads album. (Went with '77)
77 is a good choice. Raw TH.
Scot, always an adventure! Great picks and a couple I will re-check on. Thanks for that!
Thank you!!!
Amazing run down. Loved the line “He could sing the phone book”. Stunning!
I love Arcade Fire!!!
Some incredible selections there!
❤️❤️❤️
Great list Scot another bunch of albums I am gonna have to check out.
Too much music!!!!
@@TheProgCorner I have a 36 hour drive to the inlaws for a wedding so I will have plenty of time 🤣
There you go!!! Road trip!!!
Ultra vivid scene !!!
So good!!!! Just love it.
@@TheProgCornerbody mentions them. You know your stuff. I’ve been listening to “The Gilded Palace of Sin” by Flying Burrito Brothers especially the song Sin City. I probably would have put Let it Be by Replacements and Glee by Branvan 3000. I like all those records you mentioned but I am completely unfamiliar with that Canadian collective group so thanks for that.
I think you will love Broken Social
Scene!!! See also: The Most Serene Republic.
The first one is great, the one with the tooth brush. Just loved that record when it was about. The Mercy Seat was a favorite song of mine for quite som time.
Oh!!! The Mercy Seat!!!
Scott:
Great list! What broad tastes you have!
Have you listened to The Revolutionary Army of the Infant Jesus? Considering your love of prog, art-rock, post-punk, and post-rock, I think you'd like them. Their 2015 "comeback" album Beauty Will Save the World was my introduction, and it blew my mind.
I've described their sound and aesthetic to friends as what might happen if Current 93 converted to Eastern Orthodoxy or if My Life in the Bush of Ghosts had been recorded in a Byzantine monastery.
I recommend any and all of their albums, but especially Beauty Will Save the World and Mirror.
Wow! I just checked them out. How come nobody told me?!!
Love your enthusiasm. Prog on.
I appreciate you!!!
Love you dude and so cool you like Pavement!
Malkmus rules!!! Huge fan. But I hear Prog in every band I like.
@@TheProgCorner Me too!
Ultra Vivid Scene - great album. Took me by surprise there Scot!
Man, do I love that record!!!!
That's a whole bunch of delights!
Indeed it is!!!!
Hey Scot! Everything went wrong yesterday! Had everyone from DTE to the fire department here. Had to call the plumbers back. They were here until 11pm. Got home with my groceries only to realize I left my phone and checkbook in the cart. Flew back to store! Someone found them outside and actually handed them in! Couldn't believe it!! So don't you love it when someone says this album should of been on your list? Do they not understand that this is your list and not theirs!!! If I only had a brain! Great song Scarecrow!! Would of been here sooner but got caught up in the chat for hours! Hour 5590. Later bro.🔈🔉🔊😎
You are crazy!!!! And yeah, it’s great when people tell me what my favorite albums should be…
@@TheProgCorner We had a great talk about Journey, the pre Perry days! They were so good!🎸🎹🥁🎙😎
Those first three albums (and I still really like the first one with Perry, Infinity.) So those first four Journey albums…

❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍
Hey Scott. Different vibe for Arctic Monkeys , but really climbing my non prog listening list is their album ' Tranquility base hotel and casino '. I can hear Radiohead in there , Beatles in there , can't recommend it highly enough....a modern-ish retro concept album. Love this ATM.. 😍
I’m with you on the Arctic Monkeys!!! Dynamite band.
This was an awesome list of bands! Rainbow Rising is one of my favourite albums! Hope you are keeping well Scot! Peace and love! :)
Dio!!!! What a singer!!!! What an album!!!
Now that both of your lists are done I realized a couple of things. Despite how much I love prog, I ended up knowing more of the non prog albums here which a good chunk of them I've also listened to. There are a lot of prog albums that I've heard of in your list but I haven't actually checked them out yet. I guess that's probably because prog was the first ever music genre I got into and desite never being bored of it I just wanted to get out of my comfort zone and listen to more genres; but I really should get back to prog. The other thing I realized is that we have a lot of common favorites. I'll just leave my list (both prog and non prog) and by the way I'm not sticking to one album per artist, there's just some bands like Pink Floyd, Radiohead, GY!BE that I really adore.

ANOTHER GREAT SHOW, IM DEFINALTY GOING TO CHECKOUT YOUR NO 1 PICK, I BOUGHT SENSES WORKING OVERTIME BUT NEVER WENT ANY FURTHER, KEEP UP THE GREAT SHOWS, RESPECT AND PEACE FROM THE UK
Thank you!!!!!!
Wow Scot I don’t even know where to begin with this. Your taste in music is just as extreme and diverse as mine is. But variety is king ! And thanks to my brother, I also own a copy of the Neutral Milk Hotel album. It’s definitely a horse of a different color but it’s growing on me. Oh and you’re dead on with The Bends and Ritual De Lo Habitual. The best of both worlds from those 2 bands. And I don’t anyone else who’s into both God’s Speed and Wire. You’re tripping me out dude. You’ve you really hit the nail on the head with the more obscure side of music. No wonder I keep tuning in to your show. Great stuff !
It’s the old Vulcan mind meld…
Good to know I’m not alone!!!
@@TheProgCorner
😆 nice response !
Right on Scott🎉We could sit down a whole day with beers and go through playing this list with the majority in common, although I would exclude/rerank and include several other indie rock, post-punk and post-rock albums. Including for instance Fugazi, Unwound, Jesus Lizard, New Radiant Storm King, Slint, Karate….But much in common dude💪
Slint almost made it and since I included Minor Threat I didn’t do Fugazi - but I could have. Every one of their albums…
@@TheProgCorner Scott, bummer 🌟we should have had that listening and beer session before then, and I could perhaps have persuaded you about including Slint🤓 (by way of filling an important gap a review of post-rock albums might be a good thing 😉)
I am a major Slint fan so I couldn’t agree with you more!!!
@@TheProgCorner Scott, like brothers from another mother 🫸🌟🫷
I should do a SpiderLand album review. My subscribers need to know…
I really like seeing and hearing about all the music you get in to. Great show as usual Scot brother . Thanks for the Nektar love from last video . Peace and PROG on ✌️✌️💥
Nektar!!!! So good!!!!
I think that Scott 3 by Scott Walker deserves a spot
Yes!!!! Scott Freaking Walker!!!!
Another great video I agreed with most of. Your. Picks and yes Van Halen and Boston's first albums are two of the greatest debuts albums ever made
Daniel!!! You know it!!! ❤️👍❤️👍
Your knowledge of all music never ceases to amaze me Scot. I thought Deep Purple's 'Machine Head' might be on your list somewhere, it sure is on mine. Good job as always!🤩What's next if I may ask?
😎
Machine Head. Duh. Should have been there because I love it. ❤️❤️❤️
@@TheProgCorner 🤩
For me, I related to Regatta De Blanc
and Closer and Candy O the most.
Also liked #50!
🦓
Candy O has been kinda forgotten…
Makes no sense!!!
@@TheProgCorner 🐐
Hi Craig . If you like Stereolab then the French duo - Air are well worth checking out . The first album ; Moon Safari is a great place to start.
Also , please consider listening to the following two instrumental albums - Blow Up vol. 1 and Blow Up vol. 2 ....both you'll find on you tube and both feature legendary British session men including Alan Hawkshaw and Keith Mansfield playing the funkiest Hammond organ. This is late 60's into 70's library music at its best.
Moon Safari is a great album!!! I haven’t heard anything else though…
@@TheProgCorner Talkie Walkie is great as well - then again all of their catalogue is worth checking out ; as are the two instrumental albums I mentioned .
Another band you might enjoy are the British band - Belle and Sebastian and finally , the album ; Luna by The Aliens
I love early Belle And Sebastian: Tiger Milk, Sinister, Arab Strap…what a cool band!!!!
Another great show and what a great response. You should be well pleased, my friend
The channel is in rude health!!! It kinda freaks me out…
You are doing so well!
Our taste in music is quite similar but divergent as regards punk. I suppose that's because of where we were brought up and our ages? Most of my punk influences are from the UK, with the exception of The Ramones and Iggy. Sex Pistols album on your shelf, nearly got me suspended from school, when I played it on the school record player, piped through the PA system. The headmaster was far from amused!!! He didn't like my long hair either!
Nice!!! I like UK punk but American Hardcore!!!
So great to go with the first Smiths rather than The Queen Is Dead; and to go with Fear Of Music as TH:s best; totally agree! Fear Of Music kinda changed my life, could be top 5 with me. And then Friend Opportunity .... Was waiting for Deerhoof. Great list!
Saving the best for last!!!! Satori and Greg!!!
I see what you did there…
Constant exposure throughout the video over your left shoulder works for me.
Fascinating list!
No Taylor Swift or Osmonds anywhere, though? 😉
You know that was for you!!!! I’m still going to do an Osmonds episode but Taylor…maybe not!!!
@@TheProgCorner
Scot, 💖
❤️❤️❤️
I appreciate a lot of the choices on your list. I'm a big Wire fan and 154 is one of my favorite albums of all time. You Forgot It In People by Broken Social Scene is another one I'm pretty fond of. And though Paranoid is the one I would have picked, I don't know that Tony Iommi ever sounded better than he did on Vol 4. And that Neutral Milk Hotel Album was an acquired taste for me. You can count Jeff Mangum among a line of American eccentrics going back to Captain Beefheart, Frank Zappa and Roky Erickson, not to mention David Thomas. Question: have you ever thought of doing a video with Andy Edwards? It would be fun listening to you and he talk about Prog and Jazz-Fusion, given all your collective energy and enthusiasm. If you haven't, please consider it.
I don’t think Andy likes me all that much…
@@TheProgCorner I didn't consider that your personalities might clash. Sorry.
I love Andy so I will reach out to him about it…
Great list. Here are my 25 favourite non-Prog albums always I keep coming back to (alphabetical order, so no ranking!) Couple of live album cheats in there... but anyway...

Boston - Boston (1976)
David Bowie - Scary Monsters (1980)
The Cult - Sonic Temple (1989)

Dio - Holy Diver (1983)
ELO - Out of the Blue (1977)
Fields of the Nephilim - Dawnrazor (1987)

UFO - Strangers in the Night (1979)
Powerslave!!!! Outstanding.
Nice list. I forgot about Floodland! Definitely a top 50 album.
There's so many, Volume 4 is my Fav' Sabbath Album and in my top 5, Boston and Rainbow Rising are absolute classics x
For sure!!!
Hey man what about Deep Purple ranking albums?
Do You have ir?
We are going to be doing a Deep Purple episode soon!!!!
The way you get into the non-prog albums I'd venture to guess you like them better. Thought for sure Bad Religion was coming. What is for favorite BR album btw, Crossbuster?
Bad Religion!!! That’s a good call.
I've never heard Blonde Redhead, but I looked up that rekkid you're talkin' about and saw that Skúli Sverrisson plays bass thereon.
I saw Sverrisson twice with Gary Husband and Steve Hunt in Allan Holdsworth's band, in the early 90's, supporting Hard Hat Area (I think . . . . ) Dude could play.
Holdsworth played wonderfully but never seemed happy with anything. 🙃
Gary Husband. Enough said!!!
You should make videos about your top 50 favorite songs, prog and non-prog
That would be EPIC!!!
Haggai love your channel and you mentioned you had to go to jail a few years ago, just wondering if you could expand on that if you wouldn't mind sharing why you had to go
It’s a long story but I get into a bit more detail about it here: th-cam.com/video/MX07ewQfjNo/w-d-xo.html
I dig your vids, and the club is open (your shirt) one of the greatest bands on the planet. But hey, think you can dial it down just a little man.
I try. I really try. But I can’t help myself. I know it’s a bit EXTRA but the channel keeps growing so people are digging my vibe. (Yeah, I don’t get it either.)
DISARM THE SETTLERS!!!
Lots of good records on this list
These lists are a lot of fun to do!!!
Love that Ultra Vivid Scene record, fan from the beginning! I agree on Candy O, prefer it to the debut. The Rhino release is incredible
You know what time it is!!!
I concur with the quality of that Rhino release. I got #3708. Very fortunate as they sold out a few days later.
I bought the album Boys don't cry after Head on and Kiss and Holy crap did it blow my mind!!! The songs I hadn't heard to that point were so mesmerizing!!🤯👊
I love all Cure but those early records were so special!!!
Sheer Heart Attack was on my queen top 5 before Genesis came along.
I had a metal phase in 2020 and Ride the Lightning was on heavy rotation. ;)
We all went through a “Metal phase.” Or is that a “mental phase?”
Never rule out the people who have never listened to metal...what phase did they have ?
A good question.
Ride the Lightining was my favorite at that time, but these days I'd opt for ...And Justice or the Black Album.
Good stuff...a few I would have had up there, in no particular order (will tell you a bit about me =)...
Paul McCartney - Ram
Alice Cooper - Schools Out, Welcome to my Nightmare
Barenaked Ladies - Stunt
Crowded House - Woodface
Nick Heyward - From Monday to Sunday

The Doors - LA Woman
Jimmy Hendrix - Are you Experienced
Santana - S/T
Liz Phair - S/T
Steely Dan - Countdown to Ecstacy
Todd Rundgren - Something Anything
The Kinks - Soap Opera
Jude Cole - A View from 3rd Street
Cat Stevens - Tea For the Tillerman
Coldplay - Parachutes
Toad the Wet Sprocket - Dulcinea

Toy Matinee - S/T
Soundtracks: Spring Awakening, Le Miz, Chess
Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
James Taylor - JT
Robbie Williams - The Ego Has Landed
Johnny Hates Jazz - Turn Back the Clock
Neil Diamond - I'm Glad You're Here With Me Tonight
And for me, it's Skylarking (have a signed copy by Todd Rundgren =), Paranoid and Abbey Road
Many of those were my "classical music" to my prog addiction growing up. =)
Wow!!! Love it!!!
Those are just the ones that you didn’t mention. Obviously I listened to and liked many of the ones you mentioned as well.
You should do the occasional program on Prog Radio where you spin all your favorite non-Prog music.
"Love all his (their) work, but I hate the guy" is very quotable. Unlike your Top 15 there were less acts that I'd never heard of (in Australia,"halfway between the U.S. and England" in addition to being "slightly" older than you. Like your recent prog top 40 I will investigate some of the one's I don't know and re-listen to the one's I do.
🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺❤️❤️❤️❤️ 🇦🇺
Hi Scot! I want to make a very good recommendation. Do you know the band Os Mutantes? Os Mutantes is a Brazilian band from the 60s and 70s, at the beginning of their career (1968 to 1972) they made songs in the style of Psychedelic Rock and Tropicália (Tropicália is a musical style from Brazil that mixes Rock with some Brazilian rhythms such as Samba, Bossa Nova and MPB) in 1973, after lead singer Rita Lee was expelled from the band, they changed their style to Progressive Rock, and made two incredible albums ! in 1974 the sensational "Tudo Foi Feito Pelo Sol" was released, and in 1975 they recorded the album "A e o Z" (but it could only be released in 1992 because of low sales). If you want some recommendations, I recommend the albums:
"Os Mutantes" (1968)
"A Divina Comédia Ou Ando Meio Desligado" (1970)
"Mutantes E Seus Cometas No País Do Baurets" (1972)
Tudo Foi Feito Pelo Sol (1974)
"A" E O "Z" (1992)
I hope you like the recommendations. Thank you very much for your work.
I know Os Mutantes!!! I was actually turned on to them in the eighties when David Byrne from Talking Heads was RAVING about them in an interview so I had to check them out. Amazing stuff. I’m thinking about doing Brazilian Prog episode…
@@TheProgCorner The Brazilian Prog is incredible. I'm glad more people know his value!
I need to do way more research but I can’t wait to talk about all the great bands out of Brazil.
@@TheProgCorner bands like "Som Nosso de Cada Dia", "A Barca do Sol", "Terreno Baldio", "O Terço" and "Casa das Máquinas" are a great start for Brazilian prog!

Tony Burrows!!! My man!!!
The Cars first two albums were right were they needed to be when I was 15.
Right? Well, I was 15 when the debut came out but I was wrong. Candy O came out in 1979 so I was 16. Perfect albums for that time in a young man’s life!!!
Loved the Metallica inclusion! (Though I prefer Megadeth) But I thought Metal Church was your favorite Thrash album?
It was a toss up and, in the end, I decided to go with Metallica since I had NEVER even mentioned them on the channel. Weird.
Fair point. RTL, MOP and AJFA are all pretty proggy for Thrash standards. My favorite Metallica album is AJFA
I love the first four!!! And, for what is was, The Black Album holds up…
The Black Album is okayish I guess. I prefer Death Magnetic. But I agree on the first four. They are all amazing!
I definitely love too many different kinds of music. 60s Rock, Psychedelic, 90s Alternative, Metal, Power Pop, Folk, Post Punk/Rock/Metal. At least all the proggy stuff is on the list for the other video.

I spend all my money on vinyl so this guy rocks the Crosley…
@@TheProgCorner really?
Only you can throw "Minor Threat" and "Boston" into the same sentence.
Peace on earth.
Right? I am a one-of-a-kind!!!!
@@TheProgCorner Yea, and one in 8 billion.
BTW - I dig your obscure finds.
Always fun. Peace on earth.
Nice!!! Thank you!!! I like to mix it up…
Have you heared Boston's Walk On ? For me it's their strongest album since the debut. Listen to the title track if nothing else. Some great hammond playing from Tom Scholz. I hear you when you talk about Rainbow Rising. I remember telling a freind that Blackmore couldnt beat Deep Purple but he played Rising in the car and it blew my mind. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath will always be my favourite Sabs album. They expanded their palette on that one thanks to inviting Wakeman as YES where recording in the same studio. Lead to a lifelong friendship with Ozzy and giving Rick's son Adam a job in his touring band. Agree with Queen's SHA, it went downhill after that. Never a fan of VH, remember buying the debut and instantly taking a dislike to Roth's vocal. I think he was the reason why they where really just an American phenomenon. They never had that level of success in overseas territories. Agree on Bowie's Ziggy, he could have made that a double, some great stuff left off plus he never replaced Ronno.
The Spiders From Mars. Imagine that band with Wakeman!!!!
Yeah, he turned Bowie down and opted for YES. I think Bowie would have just continued to use him as a studio musician as on Hunky Dory. The other Bowie YES connection was Tony Kaye playing in his touring band, cant remember which tour though?
I met Bowie once in Bermuda with Iman. My ex used to work for her…
What a cool dude he was…
In a way, DEVO are a prog band in that they tore down conventional approach to music. Even though much of it was tongue in cheek, it was bold and innovative. And they were more influential than many people realize.
I think they’re Prog!!!!
A variegated and eclectic corn and beanucopia. Sigur Ros, Decembrists, Radiohead, Neutral Milk Hotel, Ziggy, Talking Heads, Deaf and Dumb Leopard.
Let’s not talk about Korn here…
DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERHOOOOOOOOOF !!!!!! STEREOLAB ! GBV !!!! SEBADOOOOOH !!!! So many great bands !!!!!
You know what’s up!!!!!
Rocks is absolutely the best Aerosmith album. And I completely agree on Boston. I don't listen to anything after the debut. Have to admit I didn't know many of the bands.
I put some obscure stuff on this list. On purpose. It’s my job to challenge you!!! Check out Broken Social Scene. I think you’ll dig them…
#44.... Sigur Ros LOVE!
That was for you!!!!!!
@@TheProgCorner Appreciate it brother!
👍👍🇨🇦🇺🇸👍👍🇮🇸🇮🇸
I love Sigur Rós...one of the best bands of the last 20 years. To me, post-rock/indie-rock IS the progressive rock of the 21st century.
BTW, it's pronounced "OW-guy-tiss BEER-yun." Also, all of the songs on that album are in genuine Icelandic except for Olsen Olsen, which is in "Hopelandic" (their made-up language.)
That’s it: Hopelandic!!! Such a unique and beautiful sound…

49 Dog Faced Hermans Hum of Life

Magazine, Ultravox, Ween - I’m sold!!!
You're not much into the backsbeat are ya. Very little of that white toast music swings and you know what they say, if it ain't got that swing... lol
I’m as white as they come. I don’t want swing, groove or whatever in my music. I want incredible melodies and chord progressions and bizarre time signatures - things that light up the neural network in my brain!!!
@@TheProgCorner it's all good lol. Rhythmic music has all that and jazz gets pretty far out there in chords structure and time signatures.
So are you saying you don't like artists like Ry Cooder, the meters, little feat, Allman bros, or the rhythm blues in general? , it's a whole other rabbit hole to go down and life's a trip ya know lol.
Just messing with ya no harm intended.
My only prerequisite for music is that the musicians have to be either competent or so self depreciating that you can't help but love em.
Ya gotta have some rhythm to get those women up on the dance floor loosening their inhibitions.
Your last point is so on the money it’s not even funny!!! And no, not a fan of any of those acts…
👍👍❤️❤️👍👍
Some albumsI love, others I don't even know. The Cars "Candy O" is from 1979, not 1978 like "The Cars". "Panorama" is 1980.
It sure is!!! I don’t know what I was thinking!!!

Oh my dear Lord!!! I know 49/50. Where to start? Gomez? Oh yeah!!! Eric’s Trip? Essential. Baptist Generals? For sure. On and on. That’s a great list.
@@TheProgCorner wow 49 of 50. Thats impressive! Didnt think that smaller swedish bands/artists like coffinshakers and christian kjellvander had much recognation outside of sweden. You are very well versed in music scot!!!
The Pitcher was the one I haven’t heard - nor even heard of!!!!
@@TheProgCorner ah, ok. If you are not familier with kjellvander, he is a singer/songwriter. His music is very dark and the pitcher, misspelled on the list, hits extra hard i think cause it was the first album he released after the death of his little brother. Very sad and beautiful album.
I’m going to go listen to it…
We have many overlap. Bakesale was the best Sebadoh.
Such an amazing album!!!
This Heat?
Great band!!!!!!!
My Favorite Non-Prog Albums (Part Two)
16 - 50
50 - Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
I agree that Ágætis byrjun is Sigur Rós’ best album, but you have it way too low! 😅
Also, they do sing a lot in their made-up language, but the album title is regular old Icelandic… it means “a pretty good start”. I’ll say it was!
What do you mean too low? It’s my list!!!! 👍👍❤️❤️
Frank Black and the Catholics is better.. I still play it allot ever sice it came out
I love Frank Black!!!
