Ten Albums That Define Me
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 жов 2024
- Today I want to do an episode similar to one I did with Pete Pardo on Sea Of Tranquility a few months back - and blow it up to 20 albums that helped shape my taste in music. Trigger Warning: some of these are NOT Prog Rock…
Yes to Dave Brubeck(RIP)!! My dad played " Time Out " I don't know how many times when I was growing up---I think it is why Supertramp and Steely Dan are my 2nd and 3rd favorite artists(lots of jazz in their music)
My other main influence(an album I bought for the album cover), which led me to prog;
Kansas: Song For America(thanks for noting the debut Scot)
I love Kansas!!!!! Doing a show with Pete Pardo this weekend about Kansas and Styx!!!!
Great choices! I also love Chicago, always will. Peter Cetera in the 80s, not so much, but he did good stuff with Chicago in the 70s. RIP Terry Kath.
Wonderful album, Time Out. I have the piano transcriptions of it (along with Time Further Out) made by Dave's brother Howard Brubeck. And I can actually play them--or could. Nyeh, nyeh. Nyeh-nyeh.
How cool is it to have your own album out? That's great! I've heard that the bassist is the voice of reason in a band.
I was LMAO at the last minute of this vid. Hysterical.
I appreciate that!!!
Love your shows Scott, from a 71 year old Progger in the UK. Many thanks sir.
No, sir. THANK YOU!!!!
Some killer albums there bro. "Come on Feel The Illinois" - what a great title, listening to it now.
Let me know what you think!!!! I love Sufjan: a gay, Arab, Christian from Detroit? What’s not to love?
Whoo hooo, Brother Scot! Thanks for your always opening up your heart and our minds. Truly, truly, you are the "Prof of Prog"!
Thank you, Charles!!!
Great episode Scot. I'm going to focus on 1980, the year my friend introduced me to everything alternative to the classic rock I was listening to. Some favorite albums I "discovered" that year. XTC Drums and Wires and Black Sea. The Sound Jeopardy, X Los Angeles and Wild Gift, The Cure Seventeen Seconds, Ultravox Systems of Romance, Iggy Pop New Values, Simple Minds Real to Reel Cacophony, Joy Division Unknown Pleasures, Joe Jackson Look Sharp, B52's Wild Planet, Snakefinger Chewing Hides the Sound, The Residents Meet the Residents, The Damned s/t, and many more!
Some great stuff there!!!
Yeah, there was a lot to like from Ralph Records back then, Renaldo, Residents, Yello started on Ralph, and more. Not to forget Tuxedomoon, amazing. And I discovered Foetus then too, "Hole" is great. Mr. Thurlwell.
Early Chicago is the 💣 ❤🔥🙌🏻
All great choices and yeah no 4 yr old should be subjected to Zappa 😂😂
Is it any wonder I grew up to be such a wreck???
What a beautiful personal musical journey Scot !! ... every person is so unique in this aspect. And of course ESPECIALLY in this regard , there can never be any wrong answers because it's how an individual's life revolves around the given music. Great topic and video !! 😍
Just an excuse to talk about a bunch of records I adore!!!
Hi Scott,
Wearing my Clash shirt today with the cover of their first album. Great seeing Give 'Em Enough Rope in the background. Always a pleasure watching you. XTC? Minutemen? Oh yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!!!!!
You know how I roll!!!!!!
@@TheProgCorner Yes I do.
I saw Minutemen in 1985 in Miami. There were 50 people there.
They were ON FIRE!!!!!!!!
@@TheProgCorner Lucky bastard. Wish I'd been there.
What a show!!!! Someone taped it so there’s a great boot of that show floating around somewhere.
Hi Professor of PROG❤🎶🎸🎶
THERE you are Scot!! 👏👏 Can't wait for 🙋♀️ my lesson, Lisa your student is present and you are the 🎁 of PROG that just keeps giving!- 🤗👏👏👏
Thank you. Thank you! THANK YOU!!!!
Excellent rundown! I was born in the late 70s and this is the evolution of my main influences: KISS, Billy Idol, Van Halen, Motley Crue, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Pantera, Alice In Chains, Yes, King Crimson, Zappa, Bowie, The Fall, Royal Trux.
Really cool episode. So personal! Everyone that moan for your non prog side now will get the real answers. Hats off!!!
Letting it all hang out. So to speak…
Going back and watching your older posts - love this one - what a cool idea for a video and some killer albums that shaped your life. Cheers.
👍👍👍
You do whatever you want Scot! Personally I love it when you talk about all kinds of underground bands. I know you like and are knowledgeable on lots of cool stuff like GBV, The Flaming Lips, The Swans, The Besnard Lakes KG&TLW,Built to Spill(nice mention on Sea Of Tranquility’s Mellotron ep the other day btw) XTC, The Church, and so many others. The Prog umbrella is really big and it seems that all the focus in the modern Prog crowd goes towards prog metal. I usually like things that are a little freakier and chaotic but that’s just me.
Yeah!!!! Great minds think alike!!!
Looks like the “Teenage FBI” is after The Prince of Prog! 😉
Some nice variety there, Scot. That debut album by The Clash is easily my favorite out of their (far too) brief oeuvre. Prog, pop, punk and indie, you covered a lot of ground there, sir. Nice!
Cheers 🍻 from The Big Apple 🍎
Rock Out, Prog On and Pogo!
Your pal and ours,

I love GbV!!!!
I loved hearing your musical journey. I've thought about mine a bit too. My timeline bands would be The Police, REM, XTC, Yes, Velvet Underground, Pixies, Guided By Voices, and then full-on prog. You've turned me on to Wobbler, by the way. I've only heard the most recent two albums, but I absolutely love them!
Awesome!!!! Wobbler is amazing. You need The Chronicles Of Father Robin next!!!
Had a listen to that Wobbler album on Amazon Music and liked it. They had one of those ‘If you liked that you might like this’ lists and I was attracted to the cover of an album by ‘Karfagen’ called ‘Messages From Afar: First Contact’ That was really good too. Are you familiar with them?
I love Karfagen and reviewed that album last month!!!! Here’s the link:
ua-cam.com/video/fnEMbo8qtYo/v-deo.htmlsi=NhfDq4Kdkax4EAwa
Wobbler. So good.
I love the rites at Dawn behind you! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
What a band!!!!!
Thanks for an interesting list....I'm sending you a couple of bits and pieces from Durham, UK shortly in appreciation of all of your work
Sweet!!!!
Great musical journey. One of these days I have to sit down and give this idea some thought and come up with my list.
👍👍❤️❤️🤘🤘
Beatles Psyhdelic era for me. Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper, Magical Mystery tour.
I hear those today, and I can recall so many things from my youth.
I also played Rush, Caress of Steel on endless loop.
I still have all the albums that I bought new as a kid.
Nice!!!!
Really nice top 20 ! There’s only a couple I’m unfamiliar with but my younger brother recommended that Sufjan Stevens album. I listened to parts of it and liked what I heard. However, I need to give it another whirl. And I keep noticing that IQ vinyl behind you, ‘ Dark Matter’. That album cover art is just RICH !! I wouldn’t be surprised if the music on it was also rich.
It’s one of my favorites from the band. (I think I had it at #2 in my IQ ranking video.) Had to get the vinyl!!!
I can understand why !!
Great video. Interesting choice of records. A few in there I’ve never listened to, including Zappa and MoI. About 60 years of buying music yet I have resisted listening to Zappa. How could that be? Love your stories surrounding the records.
Great List! You are the genuine article. An honest man. I admire you brother!
I have surrendered to UA-cam algorithm!!!
I don't know what would define me exactly, but I have a feeling Genesis, Jethro Tull, King Crimson, and Gentle Giant probably do in the prog category. Dead Can Dance are probably the closest thing I come to in terms of being a serious fan of an artist on the non-prog end of things. DCD definitely have that mysterious / exotic thing going for them, and Lisa & Brendan have developed into first-rate songwriters over the years! Pentangle and Steeleye Span are really good on the UK folk side of things, and (similarly) Garmarna is a Swedish folk/rock band I like really well, but one needs to be in a particular mood.
Big DCD fan here. I need to do an episode about them one of these days.
@TheProgCorner it's a delicate thing. DCD appears to, on average, resonate with a female or world music aesthetic and prog more with the male and a more straight ahead rock or jazz preference. Whoa, now there's a good topic! Controversial : )
Yes it's me again (Andy Martin of UNIT) and I've already decided upon my Top Ten instrumental pieces for the live stream tomorrow (I'm typing this on Saturday 4th May)...
...but here's a weird coincidence. Keilan, our bassist, is primarily a fan of (cringe) hardcore American punk rock. He's babbled frequently about various bands he rates highly, none of which mean anything to me. I've forgottten most of the names but I recall a few - The Mix Fits (?), MDC, Seven Seconds, Minor Threat, Dirty Rotten Idiots (?), The Bad Brains and...Disorderly Conduct! However, without checking with Keilan first, I may be in error here but I think it's one of the groups he included in a 70 minute disc he made for me in 2018 in a futile effort to convince me that I just might enjoy punk rock if I gave it my attention. The only track titles I recall are (and I'm only 60% certain these are the correct names) Nightmare and Groove Thing. I'm also aware I may be talking about a different band entirely in which case this is all a wheen o' blethers.
Right then - after being extremely rude about Peter Hammill's singing in an email to Tara, I'm going to listen to the first 3 VDGG albums again to see if I've altered my opinion!
OMG - yeah that was my band!!!
And I adore MDC and Minor Threat. Amazing bands!!!!
VDGG took a while to sink in. Peter’s vocal delivery put me off. Now I love him. Funny how that works…
That was fun. I got a few of your life choices, but I went elsewhere in lots of places! Good vid. 👍 😊
Thank you!!!!!!
Great concept, my musical journey started in the early 70’s with glam rock , Bowie , T rex and Slade , Punk hit the UK around 76 , the Pistols , The clash and the stranglers dominated my turntable, By 79 had discovered Genesis through Trick of the Tail and Floyd via The Wall , and prog became my music of choice through the back catalogue of Genesis and Floyd , although Bands like Deep Purple and Sabbath also found their way onto the turntable. Lots of different bands and artists have come and gone over the years , but always go back to those days in the 70’s and early 80’s that firstly grabbed my attention.
We always go back to the time when music was our entire world. (Age 13-17?)
Hi Scot - I know your view of prog is beautifully widescreen. Sufjan to Fleet Floxes to Decemberists etc. The prog adjacent. Do you know October Project? Two brilliant masterpiece folk art pop prog albums from the 1990’s. It’s been 28 years but they dropped their third album today and it’s another great one. If you’re interested check out Angels In The Garden. Love this band so much.
What??? I remember them!!! That’s crazy. I need to check the new one out.
It’s a stunner. Called Ghost of Childhood. So good.
@@TheProgCorner Been listening on/off all night. Don't tell anyone especially my family, but I'm getting so misty eyed listening to these songs. The best prog comparison I'd make would be Big Big Train if they had female vocal harmonies throughout. Waiting 28 years for this. Hopefully it won't be another 28 years for the next one and hopefully the extraordinary Mary Fahl will return to be the lead vocalist for the next one.
So much great stuff!! Your GBV ranking is what actually brought me to your channel! You’ve now turned be into a big prog-head…I was into early Genesis, Floyd and Yes before but hadn’t really branched out much beyond that….now I have a bunch of records by Gentle Giant, Camel, Jethro Tull, Starcastle, Van Der Graaf Generator, Mike Oldfield,Big Big Train and the list goes on. Now you’ve ruined two lives! 😜😜
They are reissuing Tonic and Twisted Chasers on vinyl!!!! I get to do a “proper” (and updated) GbV ranking soon!!!!!
@@TheProgCorner I just ordered both colour variants 10 minutes ago! So cool. Extra cool because that was one of the only Bob related records that I still needed on vinyl.
I need it and Fiction Man!!! (And all the Boston Spaceships, Circus Devils, etc.) Then I’ll have all the Pollard solo and GbV on vinyl…
@@TheProgCorner nice! I love Fiction Man and it would be cool if they did a reissue on that one as it doesn’t pop up very often. I’m pretty sure only 500 were pressed so if you see one at a decent price snag it for sure
Through the Past Darkly!!!!! What compilation. One of the first albums I bought in 1973, when I started listening to rock. Zepp II and Tarkus, the same. I listened to Fragile a year later and I blew away!
Another: Dark side of the Moon; Burn; Machine Head; Exile on Main Street; Selling England by the pound; Planet Waves (Bob Dylan)
Oh yeah!!!! Good times.
Burn! Jon Lord doesn't get enough love in my opinion. I play his "Sarabande" solo album regularly, I think my favorite rock w/ orchestra album.
Many of those albums are on my list Scot!🤩
Yes!!!
Cool stuff. A few of the albums you mentioned were certainly keystones in my life. Unlike you, however, I just checked out of music during much of the 80s 90s but like you it was Transatlantic that brought me back to Prog but it was whirlwind. Although I did end up buying every Transatlantic, Flying Colors, Neal Morse etc. album I could get my hands on soon after.
👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️🤘🤘🤘
Great music, great parents!
Honorable Mention: My "The Best of Unplugged"
Great albums!! ALSO I Love iron maidens debut and its my favorite album by them
I love all of them!!!!!!!
Tip of the hat from a ex-snob! No Beefheart? No Dukes of Stratospear? I dug the Museo Rosenbach! Thank you! Still don't get the anti CCR Oasis G&R-Cheers
I love this. Make another same concept but if you care to tell more personal stories in relation to some song/LP as you did here that's so relatable. 🫀
Thank you!!!! That was the basic idea and I hope I did it a little justice…
Kinda surprised that Renaissance or Genesis didn't make your list here. Just the front cover of Genesis Live was enough to get you hooked. And it really doesn't matter what Renaissance album did it for you. All their '70s albums are great. For me, it was the live album.
For me it was Novella!!!
@@TheProgCorner Novella was the next album released after Carnegie Hall, and I bought it right away. How could I get anything else before that live album? In 2004, I made my top 100 all music list, and Novella is 7th on that list to this day.
Annie!!!! Oh, what a band.
Great show and it's great to know the diversity of tastes that make us music fans so a few of mine are the police synchronicity, pink Floyd animals, Jethro Tull minstrel in the gallery, Kansas audio visions, Eddie Jobson and zinc the green album, grateful dead terrapin station, Roxy music for your pleasure, simple minds new gold dream and japan quiet life are a few defining albums for me and this is a little window into what my musical tastes are
I love Japan!!! I love Roxy!!! (And the Green Album is awesome…)
Japan were so ahead of their time and so was Roxy music and the green album is Eddie's masterpiece and why didn't he do more albums like that one
What a time to be alive.
Just listened to Wobbler's "Dwellers Of The Deep"...absolutely amazing!!
Such an amazing band!!!!!
Great list, as always!
If I had a list this would be it:
1. TDSOTM by Pink Floyd - the one that started it all in my prog journey
2. Joe's Garage by Frank Zappa - inspired me to embrace my creativity and humor
3. Colors II by BTBAM - solidified my love for prog metal
4. Beauty Behind the Madness by The Weeknd - that one phase where I listened to a pop album when I was younger and liked it
5. Dum Spiro Spero by Dir En Grey - Japan just keeps getting better and better
6. Beyond Reality by Cast - another reason to be proud of mi México mágico
7. Trilogy by ELP - the first vinyl I ever bought
8. Foxtrot by Genesis - inspired me to embrace my furry identity (cuz of the fox centerpiece)
9. From Silence to Somewhere by Wobbler - the best Scandinavia has to offer
10. The Whirlwind - the first whole album longest epic that I know
Amazing!!!!
Kansas’ first…my favorite too!!! 😉
Love it so much!!!!!
Have you heard of an album called Power of the Picts by The Writing on the Wall, it’s fantastic, one of my top 10 albums
I have NOT heard that but now I’m going to seek it out…
Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful day Scot also RIP Mike Pinder ❤😊
So sad. He was amazing!!!
Very diverse list there, lots of great stuff!
❤️❤️❤️
Hey now! Nicely done. Kinda like taking a walk down memory lane. 👍😎
These episodes are a lot of fun to do - and no editing required!!!
@@TheProgCorner About that, I had to rewatch because some of the albums you held up you didn't give the titles. Was just listening the first time. Didn't we just talk about this during the livestream? No biggie! All good. Just sent an email!👍😎
Old dogs…
The Beers-"The Beers Hotel", Pink Floyd-"The Wall", Robin Trower-"Bridge of Sighs", Yes-"Fragile", XTC-"Skylarking", Squeeze-"East Side Story", Kansas-"Point of Know Return", Kiss-"Destroyer", Grateful Dead-"American Beauty", BOC-"Fire of Unkown Origin"
I love Kiss and BÖC.
Gee Scot, how many albums do you still own, after all your mishaps and lost collections??? I'm flabbergasted ! So much diversity. Amazing. And Wobbler at the end ? I was not expecting that at all !!!
I’m right around 1300 pieces in this, my THIRD collection!!! I have a problem…
@@TheProgCorner LOL !!! I have a little bit more than 800 CDs (no more vinyls). But it's still my FIRST collection !!!
@@mariolafrance5806 I have no kids so all my extra money goes to the addiction!!!
Everything certainly changed with transatlantic ❤❤❤
FKings, Spocks, DT, marillion…
The best of the best. ❤
Absolutely!!!!! Transatlantic was the one…
Would recommend all Prog heads give Miles Davis electric period a listen. Great show and agree Time out is classic.
Well done! Possibly your best episode...
Hey now!!!!!!
@@TheProgCorner - What? It's very compelling stuff. I appreciate you opening your brain and letting your audience have a peek inside.
I’m always afraid of “over-sharing” but I think that ship sailed a long time ago!!!!
@@TheProgCorner - Nah, it's fine. We who watch the channel regularly know what you are all about by now.
It’s all public record anyway!!!!
I don't know where you'd slot in Magazine, I guess Post Punk, but they had depth and musicianship that were hard to beat! When I was thrashing my bass , I was trying to emulate Barry Adamson with my little Boss chorus box! 😄
Shot From Both Sides is one of the greatest songs ever written.
@@TheProgCorner Philadelphia rings my chimes!
Big fan here.
Great list! Chicago - incredible musicians. I love their albums from the 70s, especially the early stuff. I don’t think they were angry - edgy might be a better way to describe them. Just my 2 cents. What a loss for them when Terry Kath passed.
Terry Kath. OMG. I cried for days.
20 albums (only in english) that changed my life :
I thought that albums were only for relaxation, so I discovered the music that I love almost all in a few years (1969-1973) !
The Soul Survivors - When The Whistle Blows (that I won in 1968)
The Beach Boys - Summer Days (the first album that I bought, 1969)
The Four Seasons - New Gold Hits (I discovered the stereo effects, end of 1969)
The Association - And Then Along Comes (middle of 1970)
The Moody Blues - Question Of Balance (that I heard on the radio at the end of 1970)
The Beach Boys - Smiley Smile (the weirdness)(end of 1970)
The Beach Boys - Sunflower (beginning of 1971)
The Delfonics - Super Hits (1971)
Emerson, Lake & Palmer - (self-titled album) (end of 1971)
The Beach Boys - Surf’s Up (end of 1971)
The Moody Blues - Seventh Sojourn (end of 1972)
Gentle Giant - Three Friends (on the radio, end of 1972)
Yes - Close To The Edge (the first prog album that I bought, beginning of 1973)
Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother (beginning of 1973)
Renaissance - Prologue (beginning of 1973)
The Eighth Day - On The 8th Day (1977)
Enya - The Celts (1986)
Portishead - Dummy (1994)
Beck - Odelay (1996)
Brian Wilson - Presents Smile (2004)
I love The Association. I was listening to them just last night!!!
11:55 this gem's turning 30 next month!!
Where does the time go?
oddly enough Tori Amos Little Earthquakes and Peter Gabriel Us are definitive for me. i knew the entire albums by heart and can probably still rattle them off!
Nothing wrong with either of those!!!!!
Tori Amos is in my opinion one of the most underrated composer of all time,the variety and consistancy of her catalog is scary,a true great piano player,a voice rich and nuanced,an amazing lyricist,and a master musician who's able to craft in many different ways...cherry on the cake...that rare thing ...she's a true melodic writer....like joni mitchell...,that kate bush sticker glued at the start of her career ...and stayed ....in many critics's little heads...too bad...she's a Giant in my book.
Good to see Wobbler,but suprised to see no Crimson
Great list though 🤏😊
I love KC but I was a little late to them…
Alums that define me: 1. Hemispheres (Rush), 2. Close to the edge (YES); 3. Frontiers (Journey); 4. Tarkus (ELP); 5. Night after night (U.K); 6. Real to reel (Marillion); 7. Starless and bible black (King Crimson), 8. Selling england by the pound (Genesis); 9. Enigmatic ocean (Jean luc Ponty); Travels (Metheny)....and FUCK andy edwards
👍👍👍
Good to see Wobbler in there. I love them, have all their albums.
They are amazing
Life defining albums...here we go then...in chronological order of discovery.
Flaming Youth - Ark (this is the band that includes Phil Collins pre-Genesis although I didn't realise this at the time)
Egg - The Polite Force
Third World War - 1st LP
Black Sabbath - Masters Of Reality
The Groundhogs - Hogwash
Gentle Giant - Octopus
Gentle Giant - In A Glass House
Hatfield & The North - The Rotter's Club
Deus Ex Machina - Res Republica
UNIT - The Voice Of Reason
UNIT - Am Yisrael Chai
After Black Sabbath I investigated other 'heavy metal' bands and realised I HATE the noise made by about 97% of them! Their albums contain music that is so conservative. The music doesn't go to all those really interesting places where I'm taken by, say, Gryphon and Van Der Graff Generator.
i know, late in the day: but had to say Chicago is a masterpiece of an American album ( that's from the UK to you). Tommy is an amazing journey. prog is a handy definition but the musical experience can be so much richer if you use the concept progressive and i know you do.
Absolutely!!!!
My ten albums that influence me 1 . The Beatles white album 2. Rush 2112 3 . The police ghost in the machine 4 . The rolling stones sticky fingers 5. Genesis selling England by the pound 6. Tears for fears the big chair 7. Yes closer to the edge 8. The cars candy o 9. Metallica ride the lightning 10. Kansas point of no return
Very nicely done!!!
do you know molotov, donde jugaran las ninas? it's outstanding!
Sounds like a Cat Steven’s reference? That’s a good start. No, I haven’t heard that…
@@TheProgCorner i imagine you hear it all the time ... but it's really great music. or i think it's really great!
Molotov is the name of the band. They are Mexicans. nothing like cat stevens at all. have fun.
@vmacart The name translates into a Cat Steven’s song so even if they sound nothing like him it still got my attention!!!
No surprises. I believe a lot of us were affected by the same albums.
Lists keep me sane so I'll list my 20 truly life changing albums.
The first two I've mentioned ad nauseam but they really did change me.
Ready? Here we go...
01. The White Album - The Beatles
02. Blood on the Tracks - Bob Dylan
03. Meddle - Pink Floyd
04. Close to the Edge - Yes
05. Live - Genesis
06. Zappa in New York - Frank Zappa
07. Stratosfear - Tangerine Dream
08. Roy Buchanan - Roy Buchanan
09. Quadrophenia - The Who
10. The Hurting - Tears for Fears
11. Crime of the Century - Supertramp
12. City to City - Gerry Rafferty
13. Heavy Weather - Weather Report
14. Tea for the Tillerman - Cat Stevens
15. Plastic Ono Band - John Lennon
16. Saint Dominic's Preview - Van Morrison
17. Autobahn - Kraftwerk
18. The Point - Harry Nilsson
19. Over - Peter Hammill
20. Songs of Leonard Cohen - Leonard Cohen
I realize a lot of these albums are not prog but you're talking about life
altering albums. These twenty albums most definitely had a profound
effect on me in my formative years. I purposely left off any "modern"
day albums although there are some that made me think but did not
affect me in the same brain changing ways that the above twenty did.
Music continues to heal and inspire me.
The ones that aren’t technically Prog as still mighty progressive!!!!
I have nearly all of those so it's safe to say you have great taste 😉
Indeed!!!!!
Great Scot Nice list 😊
👍👍
My personal music journey :
in order of how I heard them , how do you narrow it down to 10.
The Beatles - Sgt Pepper.
The Human League - Reproduction.
The Teardrop Explodes - Wilder.
The Smiths - Hatful of Hollow.
Talk Talk - It's my life.
Marillion - Misplaced Childhood.
Genesis - Live '73.
Camel - The Snow Goose.
Van Der Graaf Generator - The least we could do is wave to each other.
Muse - Origin of symmetry.
Steven Wilson - Hand Cannot Erase..... that was 11 ...oh well , took me an age to type it out. 😍
Origin Of Symmetry!!! 10/10. Easily my favorite MUSE album.
For me, Scott through the past, Darkley is the only essential Rolling Stones album. One needs to buy. I listen to it all the time all these years later the great Brian Jones wow anyway yeah at 15 years old, it was fragile and Tus that got me cemented into a life in progressive rock music or at least as a fan OK thanks for this great review
‘And TARKUS’, THATGOT ME TOTALLYINTO PROGRESSIVE ROCK!
Fragile and Tarkus!!!! Those two did me in also.
I'm surprised there isn't a Tswift album on this list....
I’m keeping Taylor all to myself. Prog guys can’t talk about Swift, can they???
Hi Scot. Me again... You know, I'm from Québec. And I was wondering if you knew the legendary Québec band called Harmonium ? Speaking of prog album that changes lives, you've got to listen to their 1975 album "Si on avait besoin d'une cinquième saison". If lyrics in French doesn't bother you too much. That album is ranked in 28th position in ProgArchives' "Best Prog Albums of All Time" man ! It's a masterpiece, in particular the 17 minutes + epîc "Histoire sans paroles". It means history without words and it's exactly that. No words. All instrumental. Highly recommanded, to you and all your followers.
I love that album and just picked it up on vinyl last month!!!! Their other two albums are good too but that one is so good. And the album cover!!!!!!!! So good.
Wobbler 👍
What are the ten albums that defy you?
Randomly pick ten Magma albums. That band has the AUDACITY to write music I don’t understand. How dare they?!!!
Disconcerting. Mine way too diverse for. Your forum. Lilac time - astronauts. Kate Bush. The dreaming. World party -egyptology. Heads hands and feet - tracks. Roy Harper ,-stormcock. Porcupine tree-lightbulb sun.. blackfield- 2 Victoria Williams -one moment in Toronto sylvian/fripp damage. King crimson -absent lovers
I’m a big fan of diversity!!!
Jail. Not good. Love this episode.
Not good at all.
Come to Wheatfest in Topeka for 2 back to back 50th anniversary concerts first weekend in October. Meet the hard-core fans. I can get you hotel info.
Wow!!!! That’s a great idea!!! I would love to go…
Phil should be back. Zac is back. Kerry usually shows up
@TheProgCorner WheatFest 23 in Topeka. We will get our block of rooms at the Ramada (they love us there) I can't promise the TW's can put anything together but it would likely be on Saturday and that would mean not going to Wichita.
So the question is...2 Kansas Concerts, driving and busy schedule or a more relaxing chance to see the sites and socialize more, maybe party at the lake with the TW's.
I'd be happy to show you around my.hometown as.im coming back for it. All the pertinent Kansas sites
TW are the Traveling Wheatheads tribute band. Including local Jake Livgren. Take you and anyone who comes with you up Burnetts Mound
Jake is awesome and a fan of the show!!! (And gave me the nickname The Jedi Of Prog???!!%^*^=>?) And yeah, I’m thrilled that Zak is back!!! It’s strange to say about a band celebrating its 50th anniversary but: THE FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT!!!!
RPI…
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
the best that prog has to offer !!!
Have you heard the new Le Orme yet? So good!!!!!!!
I really want to consider Tommy and Quadrophenia to be prog, but unfortunately, I don't and that sucks. These 2 albums are fantastic. Quadrophenia is my favorite Who album. The Who are just The Who. I don't mind the albums after Quadrophenia. I'm pretty much The Who fanboy at this point. I hope they do one more concept album, but sadly I don't think it will ever happen.
It will probably never happen but at least we have The Who Sell Out, Tommy and Quadrophenia!!!!
We didn't discover the great "Time Out" until the '80s, but in real time, we owned and enjoyed Sgt Pepper, Stones, Tommy, Chicago, Zep II, Fragile, Tarkus, and Kansas...fresh from the oven! What a solid foundation upon which to build your musical legacy! I will need to research and enjoy those you learned from the 80s. I sorta went all Magister Ludi in the 80s, buried my head in studies, and disengaged from the popular world on Reagan Planet out of doors. After Close to the Edge and Firth of Fifth, it seemed unlikely that rock music was going to be the grail-bearer going forward. I did listen to some college radio stations, as well as some labels, like ECM, Nonesuch, Windham Hill, Telefunken, and had access to some great contemporary composers' works, like Berio, Glass, Reich, Ginastera, Subotnik...but about the only rock was in the form of European avant-garde and new wave. Henry Cow, Fred Frith, John Zorn, Iva Bittova, Ivo Pappazov, David Hykes, Meredith Monk, David Moss, Talking Heads, Rolling Beach Beetles, and Zappa, who is a category unto itself. Discovering your other music is going to real treat, I already can see, nay, hear, that. Off to listen! Starting with Disorderly Conduct, and listening for the bass. Wanna hear more about your playing.
You are awesome. In fact, you are wondrous!!!
@@TheProgCorner Listening to Disorderly Conduct "Omen" just now, and a few songs in. Wow. Y'all were kicking some ass. Had no idea. Live and/or learn!
I was cooked out of my brain. I did all the bass tracking in one take. Fun times though I struggle to remember a lot of it…
