Maybe it didn't change how music was written, but the first Boston album certainly left a mark in how music production was done, and I'd say that's worth at least an honorable mention. And while it isn't the first rock opera (or for my money particularly close to the best), but The Wall certainly left a mark on the sheer ambition on display, with the movie and the stage show from the tour. There's a reason it's so well remembered, even if it's not my favorite Floyd album.
Interesting top 10, I wouldn't agree with a lot of it Scot but that's the beauty of us all, we all hear music differently. Great video as usual from the prog master Scot.
@@TheProgCorner Yes, they were influential, the album that influenced Sg Peppers was Freak Out by Frank Zappa. Zappa for me is the most influential artist of them all.
@@CloseToTheEdge-Prog yes, he made Hendrix possible. It was an exciting time of artists pushing boundaries... Another off Scotts list, I got a surprise drum lesson from THE Joe Morello.... I was like sir, I'm really a guitarist who just started playing drums some this year... But he was cool and said, "we won't hold that against you." He then switched me from matched grip to traditional. Been that way since. He was very encouraging.
Awesome picks Scot of albums that changed the world.I agree that Sgt Pepper by the Beatles should be no. 1 it did change everything,but my personal opinion "A Kind of Blue " by Miles Davis change the history of jazz.
My list, in no particular order: # Beggars Banquet - Stones # Dark side of the Moon - Floyd # Who's Next - The Who # Led Zeppelin Ii # Machine Head - Deep Purple # Black Sabbath (debut) # Fragile - Yes # Stand Up - J. Tull
It’s a topic and a half. I’m gonna make the world a whole lot smaller. A resident of one. You’ve hit on a lot of touchstone albums that crossover onto my extended list. After all these years Scot you probably have a vague idea of where I’m gonna go. The albums that changed me and my life that I’ve mentioned on numerous occasions. So without further ado: 01. The White Album 02. Blood on the Tracks 03. Meddle 04. Close to the Edge 05. The Lamb Lies Down 06. Stratosfear 07. The Hurting 08. Plastic Ono Band 09. Machine Head 10. Zappa in New York Of course I could go on endlessly but the above albums all had a profound impact on me and shaped my taste in music. They are the albums that I cannot live without.
you're very entertaining man, you could've been a comedian also😉. .. In the Court of the Crimson King probably changed my life lol but so did artists like Mies, Brubeck, and the Beatles. Enjoying my Dad's jazz came before the glory days of Rock. The rock of the 50s was nothing to me compared to the jazz scene in the 50s. A lot of the jazz albums back then were recorded close to where I lived at the time! I started to embrace rock in the mid 60s. I think the Beatle albums rubber soul and revolver changed my mind about how I felt about pop music as a kid.
Great list Scot, lots of food for thought there. I think I would have added Van Halen, which kicked off the entire hair metal phenomenon of the 80s 🎸🤘🏻
Some incredible selections there Scot. Are you experienced... wow. Most definitely. Here's a few ; The Specials debut. Dream Theater - Images and Words. The Human League - Reproduction. Led Zeppelin lV Blondie - Parallel Lines. We are so privileged to have been alive in these amazing times. 😍🎵🎵🤘
Beatles Rubber Soul , Elvis Presley Elvis Presley , Black Sabbath Black Sabbath , Michael Jackson Thriller , Kraftwerk The Man Machine , Velvet Underground The Velvet Underground , Judas Priest Sad Wings Of Destiny , ABBA Arrival , Nirvana Nevermind , Ray Charles Modern Sounds In Country And Western Music .., I think these for various differing reasons really transformed the musical landscape as we know it ..,
Great video Scot! A bit random, but have you listened to anything from Nick Drake? Only 3 albums, all of which are masterpieces in my view . Very sad life story, he deserved more.
So hard to come up with a top 10 like this...great picks there. I would put in the first Montrose debut LP from 1973.....one of the most influential hard rock LP's ever, especially in the US.
Great list! I think that Van Halen's debut album marked a "before" and an "after" in ths history of electric guitar. It should be in the list in my opinion.
Surprised to include Hybris, but not Dark Side. If I was to pick a Modern Prog album, or an album from the last 30-35 years, I actually would pick Images & Words. It wasn't the 1st Progressive Metal album, but arguably, it is the most impactful album for progressive rock and metal since it came out.
Brian Wilson recorded Pet Sounds while the Beach Boys toured Japan etc. And it was a flop. So Capitol released Greatest Hits Vol 2 shortly after. But just a year after : Sgt Pepper (Should be #1)
Ramones Debut! Any Kraftwerk album!!! Jean Michel Jarre Oxygene! Sabbath debut! Bee Gee’s Saturday Night Fever! Tubular Bells!?! Bauhaus debut! The Cure’s P word album! Come on man!!! I still love your channel!!!
Kinda surprised to see no Rubber Soul, for having started the creative "battle" between the Beatles & the Beach Boys, resulting in Pet Sounds and Sgt. Pepper. Still a great list!
carole king cats stevens tea for tillerman beatles sergeant pepper ....yes close to the edge and fragile ......thick as a brick...miles so good .....lots of jazz musicians i agree excellent
Sad wings of destiny by priest was kind of late to the party, but it's a fantastic album anyway!😉 .. if it was released about 6 years sooner, we'd be having a totally different conversations about that album than what we currently typically experience!😉
Great eclectic list ! Arguably - well, I'm arguing ! - Meet The Beatles was more impactful than Sgt Pepper. I imagine all over the USA kids got together after listening to that to form a band, ending the predominance of the solo singer. Just a thought !
Yes, I agree that Sgt. Pepper is great. There's nothing to argue about. But I had Revolver in mind! You and I think almost the same way! Thanks for Hendrix, Brubeck and Miles! Very broad genre coverage! Thanks for the review!
I always thought of Sgt. Peppers as the sequel to Revolver. The ideas that started there, the time signatures, the replacement of all the instruments on Eleanor Rigby, the loop/sample on TNK. Sgt. Pepper's is the same ideas only more so.
Love love love Anglagard but, even given that this is the Prog Corner, I think it's a stretch to have it in the top 10. Misplaced Childhood might have more of a claim as a prog kickstarter. Also no Velvet Underground and Nico even in the honourable mentions? That might be the first germs of punk and a few other genres to boot. Finally, bollocks is indeed an interesting word. It's Old English in its origins and, besides the obvious meaning, tends just to mean 'nonsense' or 'rubbish' these days. Still used fairly often here in the UK (by my age group, not sure about Gen Z)
The sex pistols album is fun to play along with because it's so mindless and easy if you're a musician.. I used to have a good time playing along with it on guitar when I was much younger.. I never listened to it, though; I have to play it, that's the only way I could listen to it..😂 ah the good ol' days lol
Only the Hendrix album changed my world. The Sex Pistols were nothing more than a temporary gimmick that had more impact on fashion that anything musical. Eddie Cochran was the original punk rocker with C'mon Everybody, long before these later day opportunists came along.
GOAT lists are stupid so without fanfare here’s my stupid list King Crimson, In Court of the Crimson King The Clash, London Calling Zappa Freak, Out! Beach Boys, Pet Sounds Wes Montgomery, Live At The Half Note Bob Dylan, Highway 61 Revisited Miles Davis, Bitches Brew John Coltrane, Impressions Jimi Hendrix, Are You Experienced Spirit, Spirit (possibly the first fusion album)
Robin trower bridge of sighs. Kate Bush. The dreaming. Traffic S/T. Jethro tulll A. Bad co burning sky. Journey. Next. Jo Jo gunne jumping the gunne. Santana. Festival gun club. Miami
I've never got why 'Pet Sounds' is considered a masterpiece. Maybe you need to take a three hour bus journey with a driver who loves the Beach Boys to appreciate how bloody awful they are.😂
personally Rich, I'd say it's because McCartney said he liked the album .. I always generally disliked The Beach Boys sound, but they did have a few good tunes in the studio, but there were a lot of other people involved in those tunes to accomplish them. The production consisted of session musicians and technical people that helped make it happen. with the beach boys and one engineer and one producer, it would've never happened.. totally different conversation.
True that Nevermind changed everything, however, what it influenced was awful. The best part about Nirvana's popularity was helping get older, better post punk bands more attention.
I’m not sure how I feel about this one. I love Nirvana and all the Seattle bands, and it certainly changed the musical landscape, it gave rock music one last burst of energy before it fizzled out forever. I feel conflicted though because I know how much Kurt disliked how the album sounded and ultimately couldn’t deal with the success 😢
@@JojoFryrocks I love Screaming Trees, Melvins, Mudhoney and Green River the most from the ol' NW. I really like Nirvana, but all the corporate clones like Puddle of Mudd and Bush were just utter garbage. Don't get me started on the clones of Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam. Alice in Chains and Soundgarden were great (Pearl Jam is a bit meh) but the bands that copped their sound...yuck! I find some of the NW bands from today pretty good, like Big Business (love 'em) and Helms Alee.
@ yeah all those post-grunge bands were utter rubbish! The thing is, all those Seattle bands were totally different. AIC and Soundgarden were more metal, Nirvana saw themselves as punk/new wave, Pearl Jam were more or less a straightforward rock band. They had nothing in common except the flannel 🤣
Maybe it didn't change how music was written, but the first Boston album certainly left a mark in how music production was done, and I'd say that's worth at least an honorable mention. And while it isn't the first rock opera (or for my money particularly close to the best), but The Wall certainly left a mark on the sheer ambition on display, with the movie and the stage show from the tour. There's a reason it's so well remembered, even if it's not my favorite Floyd album.
The first Boston album is a great call.
Hey Scot! So much music, so little time!!!👍☮️👑🐍🙏😎
I know, right??
@@TheProgCorner👍😎
bingo
All the albums that immediately sprang to my mind for this topic are ones you gave honorable mentions to.
Nice!!!!
Great list , glad you mentioned Änglagård. Cheers my friend.
Had to!!!
enjoyed your honourable mentions and the list itself.
the ending, however, I did not expect. you're quite bonkers aren't you?
love and light
I’m insane. It checks out!!! Thanks for watching all the way until the end…
@TheProgCorner Unsane
Hi Scot, what always strikes me is the bandwidth of your musical taste! It's just mindblowing!
I worked in a record store through the eighties!!!! That helped!!!
Interesting top 10, I wouldn't agree with a lot of it Scot but that's the beauty of us all, we all hear music differently. Great video as usual from the prog master Scot.
Not my favorite albums - just some influential one!!!

I couldn't agree more with this list, and what an eclectic list it is! Pepper happens to be my all-time favorite album (but that's beside the point).
Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite
Excellent list Scott. So diverse. Love it
Thank you, sir!!! U Da Man!!!
And super well done for including Never Mind the Bollocks. So often overlooked but they changed the world.
Absolutely!!!!

@TheProgCorner ✌
I will have to get back to this. Im not sure that i agree with 7 out of 10.
Anyway i enjoyed your vid as per usual.
7out of 10 ain’t bad.
Man, what a great list. But what sticks most in my head is, 'The Yes Album'
I almost included it…
I cannot argue about that list! Sounds right to me!
My list, in no particular order:
# Beggars Banquet - Stones
# Dark side of the Moon - Floyd
# Who's Next - The Who
# Led Zeppelin Ii

J. M .Jarre OXYGENE Still sounds futuristic. Great List. Classics.

I agree!!!! And the first Metallica too. I put this episode together In literally 15 minutes so I knew I was going to forget a few!!!!! 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️🤪🤪🤪
Some incredible selections there Scot. Are you experienced... wow. Most definitely.
Here's a few ;
The Specials debut.
Dream Theater - Images and Words.
The Human League - Reproduction.
Led Zeppelin lV
Blondie - Parallel Lines.
We are so privileged to have been alive in these amazing times. 😍🎵🎵🤘

The Pistols arrived with a bang.
They sure did!!!
Beatles Rubber Soul , Elvis Presley Elvis Presley , Black Sabbath Black Sabbath , Michael Jackson Thriller , Kraftwerk The Man Machine , Velvet Underground The Velvet Underground , Judas Priest Sad Wings Of Destiny , ABBA Arrival , Nirvana Nevermind , Ray Charles Modern Sounds In Country And Western Music .., I think these for various differing reasons really transformed the musical landscape as we know it ..,
Elvis!!!
Great selection, everybody will have their opinion, I'm happy to stick with yours (for today).
Why thank you!!!!
Amazing t-shirt scott
Any list that has ANY Beach boys album higher than Pink Floyd is BLASPHEMY 😂😂😂😂.... still the Best PROG channel on TH-cam 👍💯💥
It’s not based on quality!!!!! Just impact and yeah - I felt bad leaving TDSOTM off the list!!!!
Without Pet Sounds, there likely would not have been Dark Side of the Moon.
Or Sgt Pepper
Great video Scot! A bit random, but have you listened to anything from Nick Drake? Only 3 albums, all of which are masterpieces in my view . Very sad life story, he deserved more.
I love all three Nick Drake albums!!!!
Fantastic video!
So hard to come up with a top 10 like this...great picks there. I would put in the first Montrose debut LP from 1973.....one of the most influential hard rock LP's ever, especially in the US.
What a great album!!!!!
@TheProgCorner "Been a long education, but my homework is done, I'm gonna Rock the Nation......."
Good list.. You forgot the first Black Sabbath, Close to the Edge and Amy Whineshouse.
Black Sabbath s/t was in my Honorable Mentions!!!
@@TheProgCorner Ah, sorry I missed that! Good man. LOL
Now wait a minute, I play 78's still sometimes. I even have Blind Willie Johnson - Motherless Children Have A Hard Time on 78
I just bought a bunch of 78s!!!
Cool list. First time I heard the Hendrix I thought it was a greatest hits
Right??
Great list! I think that Van Halen's debut album marked a "before" and an "after" in ths history of electric guitar. It should be in the list in my opinion.
A good call.
Huge fan of Miles Davis. He had a very prog phase during his electric era. Great list.
I appreciate that!!!
Well done for including Hybris!
It had to be included!!!!
Good list!
Remember that Poor King Chuckie lost his wife years ago, and she was a real dish.
Surprised to include Hybris, but not Dark Side. If I was to pick a Modern Prog album, or an album from the last 30-35 years, I actually would pick Images & Words. It wasn't the 1st Progressive Metal album, but arguably, it is the most impactful album for progressive rock and metal since it came out.

in utero is a nearly perfect album. Good call..
Amazing!!!!😻
What is the fantastic video 3have awesome day Scot also today is my half older brother birthday ❤😊
Okay!! Thank you!!!
Brian Wilson recorded Pet Sounds while the Beach Boys toured Japan etc. And it was a flop.

Ramones, Kraftwerk and Sabbath made my Honorable Mentions!!!
Impeccable !!!👌
Thank you very much!!!
Dave Brubeck had to be there. You hear his influence from a few jazz fusion artists, a few prog artists, Steely Dan(however you categorize the Dan)
The Dan are their own sub genre!!!
Completely agree with the list. But some days I think Revolver was more progressive and influential than Pepoer. But both to me are on the same level.
I prefer Revolver but Sgt Pepper seemed to move the needle more. 🤔
@@TheProgCorner true. Can you imagine if they would’ve added Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields to it?
Kinda surprised to see no Rubber Soul, for having started the creative "battle" between the Beatles & the Beach Boys, resulting in Pet Sounds and Sgt. Pepper. Still a great list!
Or Revolver?
Never mind the bollocks 1976
Did I say 77?
@TheProgCorner bollocks is a word commonly used when someone has either messed up badly or what they are hearing is utter crap! 😆

Cat Stevens!!!!
Nice collection.im not so sure about anglagard,I a always thought that marillion started the Neo prog thing.also like that sex pistols
Änglagård started the Third Wave.
Days Of Future Passed? Too classical? Glad you put some jazz in there!
Metallica, Kill em' All. Changed everything. Created a new culture and I was they to experience it all.
Scott. band called The Hu…. interested in your opinion..
The Mongolian band?
Sad wings of destiny by priest was kind of late to the party, but it's a fantastic album anyway!😉 ..
if it was released about 6 years sooner, we'd be having a totally different conversations about that album than what we currently typically experience!😉
I think you might be right!!!
The Wurzels have an album called Nevermind The Bullocks Eres The Wurzels.
You know I’ve never heard that album!!!
Great eclectic list ! Arguably - well, I'm arguing ! - Meet The Beatles was more impactful than Sgt Pepper. I imagine all over the USA kids got together after listening to that to form a band, ending the predominance of the solo singer. Just a thought !
A solid point.
Hello from Ukraine. Cheers, nice top 10
🇺🇦❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇦
#1 will always be #1!
That’s right!!!
Greetings from Germany. Burn from Deep Purple changed my music world
It would have to be Machine Head.
Crucial that you included Hendrix... He blew the doors off their hinges and made albums an experience. It wasn't about singles.
👍👍👍
How about Elvis Presley's "Golden Records" (beginning of 1958) ? (all big hits from 1957)
Why not??!!
Did you notice that the title of #3 refers to #2? No? Nevermind...
I did!!!!
Aerosol Grey Machine came out one month before In the Court of the Crimson King. Just sayin'.
I agree about Sgt Pepper 🤘
Yeah!!!!
I bet on Revolver! I was wrong by one album!
I thought about Revolver (as it’s a better album but…)
Yes, I agree that Sgt. Pepper is great. There's nothing to argue about. But I had Revolver in mind! You and I think almost the same way! Thanks for Hendrix, Brubeck and Miles! Very broad genre coverage! Thanks for the review!

@@TheProgCorner - That is a perfectly valid stance. Well played, sir.
Van Halen's first record changed the world of guitars.

King Crimson, In Court of the Crimson King
The Clash, London Calling
Zappa Freak, Out!
Beach Boys, Pet Sounds
Wes Montgomery, Live At The Half Note
Bob Dylan, Highway 61 Revisited
Miles Davis, Bitches Brew
John Coltrane, Impressions
