Wow, never thought this channel would mention Angra! Love Angels Cry, but not sure how it showed up on a prog albums list. Anyway, greetings from Brazil!
@@bernardlachance1821 For sure. He comes up with some great choices. Split Enz being a good example. Or on a previous episode when he pulled Henry Cow out of the hat.

Nice to see Neu and Split Enz pass the revue. Mental Notes (1975) was indeed their first album but it was never released outside Australia/New Zeeland. The Follow up album containted a bunch of new tracks and a bunch of redo's from their debut. Second Thoughts (1976) was produced by Phil Manzanera as their first worldwide release. Phil Judd and Tim Finn were two crazy captains on the same ship. When Judd left Tims younger brother Neil joined the band. Dizrythmia (1977) was their last album with a prog feel but punk pop influences were already sneaking in. Those first three albums show a different band than the more new wave and Beatlesque pop group they became in the early eighties. Worth checking out.
Chuck, excellent choice of Be Bop Deluxe. I love that band, Bill Nelson is such a phenomenal guitarist, vastly underrated in the history of prog art rock music. Looking forward to watching the next show with you on. Stay well my man, best regards from the Rock Hall City.
Another great show guys!!! I look forward to this every week!!! I now have some new music to check out even though I am familiar with some I'm gonna dig in to what I'm not
Pete, these shows are costing me a fortune. Many of these releases are out of print and kind of pricey. George’s choice of Spiral Architect was spot on. The bass player is like a metal Jaco. Thanks

My prog top 10: 10) Yes debut 9) Mike Rutherford - Smallcreep's Day 8) Brand X - Unorthodox Behavior 7) Steve Hackett - Voyage of The Acolyte 6) Pink Floyd - Piper At The Gates Of Dawn 5) Kansas Debut 4) Anthony Phillips -The Geese & The Ghost 3) Peter Gabriel Debut (The Prog God) 2)Elp Debut 1) King Crimson - In the Court Of The Crimson King
Galactic Cowboys - self-titled debut. I was blown away and had to buy the CD after seeing the video for the jaw-dropping We're Not Amused on MTV (must have been Headbanger's Ball). Other key tracks are Why Can't You Believe in Me (with its persistent vocal harmonies), *SEA OF TRANQUILITY*, the heavy Kill Floor and the emotional epic closer Speak To Me. Surprised this album/band isn't talked about more on the channel.
Found some pretty interesting debuts in the collection, looking forward to see what the crew selects. My partial list: 'The Man Who Never Was' - This Winter Machine; 'Unorthodox Behaviour' - Brand X; 'Hinterland' - Wobbler; 'Krokus' - Krokus; 'The Jewel' - Pendragon; 'Atomic Ro-o-oster' - Atomic Rooster; 'Maxoom' - Mahogany Rush; 'Monolith of Phobos' - The Claypool Lennon Delirium; 'For All We Shared ...' - Mostly Autumn; 'Symphony X' - Symphony X

Great show guys! Going to spend some time checking out these bands. I have only known a handful of radio songs by Jethro Tull and never heard Gentle Giant until this year and thank you for letting me know. I guess that I have been waiting a long time to hear this great music.

Some excellent picks . Thanks . I would add : Yes : Yes Mike Oldfield : Tubular Bells Izz : Sliver of a Sun Triumvirat : Mediterranean Tales Alan Parsons : Tales of Mystery & Imagination Ozric Tentacles : Erpsongs
My 10, in no particular order: Kansas - Kansas Ambrosia - Ambrosia Alan Parsons Project - Tales of Mystery and Imagination Crack the Sky - Crack the Sky (I used to play these guys all the time as a college radio DJ in the early '80s; a sadly forgotten band) Marillion - Script for a Jester's Tear Steve Hackett - Voyage of the Acolyte Spock's Beard - The Light (an album and band I discovered thanks to Sea of Tranquility!) Emerson, Lake and Palmer - Emerson, Lake and Palmer Journey - Journey and of course: King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
Hi Rand. I messaged you a couple of weeks ago about the Hands album. The second one I have a CDR of is actually called Palm Mystery, so I haven't heard the one you mentioned. Just done CDR,s of the two Sloche albums which I like a lot. Cheers.
1 minute in, and i'm having to take the Jobson drink! And not to be a contrarian, but that Alan Parson's tales from Mystery and imagination deserved a shout-out! All-time best is KC though... Hug to the compadres!
Prog Power 2 was indeed the greatest lineup with Spiral Architect, lol they were also completely hammered after they played and even more entertaining by the end of the night.
Great picks from *everyone* on the panel. None of these are ranked, but here are some faves, mixed in with other faves I didn't hear mentioned: 1. Magma - s/t (Kobaïa) 2. King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King 3. Emerson, Lake & Palmer - s/t 4. Gentle Giant - s/t 5. Todd Rundgren's Utopia (This would count as Utopia's debut) 6. Kansas - s/t 7. Ambrosia - s/t 8. Univers Zero - s/t (1313 depending on which issue you own) 9. Henry Cow - Legend 10. Brian Eno - Here Come the Warm Jets (my fav Eno album) 11. Faust - s/t Mr. Bungle isn't a name mentioned very often. Love that self-titled album! Great to hear about Spiral Architect! Very glad to see Neu! on there.
Epic show guys in fitting prog kinda fashion. Really love and appreciate the variety on this. Anthony's picks are more mellow and a bit jazzy with some Canterbury scene thrown int he mix. Pete's picks are a mix of classics and some lesser known prog rock. George's picks are largely metalled out and fusion whereas Chuck's picks also gives a nod to some krautrock classics. Great stuff thoroughly enjoyed it. My picks in no particular order 1. Cynic-focus 2. King crimson-in the court of the crimson king 3. The mahavishnu orchestra-inner mounting flame 4. Al di meola-land of the midnight sun 5. E.l.p-e.l.p 6. T2-it'll all work out in boomland 7. Camel-camel 8. Opeth-orchid 9. Animals as leaders-animals as leaders 10. Leprous-tall poppy syndrome
I bought Marillion's first album when it first came out by mistake ( I thought they did a song I really liked but was in fact by another band!). All these decades later and I still love its atmosphere.
Thanks for including IQ, Pete! If I remember correctly though, IQ's debut was "Seven stories into eight", which they released themselves, on tape only. Some one and a half decade later, IQ re-recorded it as " Seven stories into 98", and it really showcased what a great music material it was! If it had been recorded with that quality and that level of musicianship initially, in 82, it would've been a killer debut. "Tales..." was the first from them released by a label.
I would credit Fish with having an awesome solo debut...Vigil in a wilderness of mirrors. Fantastic, gives him a double honor of twin debut classics when paired with Marillions debut.
Great Job y'all... here's 5 more : 1. Faust "Faust" 2. Focus "Moving Waves" 3. Maxophone "Maxophone" 4. Spin "Spin" 5. Bo Hanssen "Music inspired by Lord of the Rings". 🎼🎵🎶
10.Moth Vellum 9.StarCastle 8.Pallas-The Sentinel 5.Refugee 6.Hands 5.Nektar-Journey To The Centre Of The Eye 4.Gentle Giant 3.Captain Beyond 2.Finch-Glory Of The Inner Force 1.peter gabriel
@@shyshift Downloaded it from UA-cam until I can find an original at a reasonable price. There's quite a few becoming rare now and quite expensive on eBay, discogs and Amazon.
In no order: Anglagard - Hybris Ragnarok - s/t (1976 Swedish band) SFF - Symphonic Pictures Anna Sjalv Tredje - Tussilago Fanfara Picchio Dal Pozzo - s/t Happy the Man - s/t National Health - s/t Solaris - Marsbeli Kronikak Steve Hackett - Voyage of the Acolyte Anthony Phillips - The Geese and The Ghost
@@chuckazeee It is good to still hear people talking about Spiral Architect 20 years later. I agree that a second album should have happened. Hopefully, Terra Odium's debut album will help fill the void.
This is a hard choice....Most of the iconic Prog bands from the 70's didn't hit their stride until the second,third or even third album...back when labels would give you a few times at bat to get your stuff together before they cut you off .
True, as no one ever ranks the debuts from Yes and Genesis as their finest. The debut of Yes clearly shows the band dipping their toes in the water but not having their sound fully developed. From Genesis to Revelation was a pop album (that already sounded dated for 1969) that bore little resemblance to the prog rock they would quickly explore after this album. Other than King Crimson and perhaps ELP, the major acts didn't really take off until three or so albums. The more obscure bands tend to get it right away but many of them did release their debuts a little later on, where they could observe how many of the major bands evolved.
Love that Split Enz Mental Notes got a mention. That album had two bona fide geniuses, in Phil Judd and Tim Finn involved and is creepy, gothic, and strangely beautiful as hell. Nothing like the pretty disposable pop that followed.
Neu -- great choice! (It's actually pronounced "Noy" in German). Also glad to see some love for IQ-Tales, and the first Kansas album, which blew me away when it was released; nothing else sounded like it. One that didn't get mentioned is PFM-Storia di un minuto. And finally, Phish-Junta: Prog fans need to check this out; there's some amazing instrumental prog embedded amidst the goofy lyrics.
@@erikberg5363 Hey Erik, yes that first PFM album still sounds fresh to me; their music ages well. For Phish's Junta, check out Divided Sky, You Enjoy Myself, and Fluffhead's Travels. But Phish is a better band live than in the studio, because they are excellent group improvisers, -- they never play a song the same way twice. Try A Live One. Happy phishing!
"Mental notes" by Split Enz is a true bridge between Prog and New Wave...it's literally like if when Peter Gabriel quit Genesis, instead of getting Phil to replace him they hired on Ron and Russell Mael from Sparks instead.
I think UK self-titled is musically stronger if you don't take its impact to the genre into consideration. Somehow Moonchild makes my In The Court listening experience a bit bitter, for me that's not a great improvisation. But maybe that's just me.
@@einarassipavicius1991 The UK debut is definitely great but I will always prefer Court; I think a lot of it has to do with the mood/vibe of the album, it’s very somber but majestic at the same time. I’ve never had an issue with Moonchild for whatever reason, but it’s definitely the weakest section of the album and I can understand why many people don’t like it.
Man.... I love this show. Had my top 10 loaded. Listened to 40 picks + tons of HM's, and still had a handful left on my list LOL. SUCH a great topic, and such a great conversation about a wide variety of music - including a few I have to check out. Here's my top 10, FWIW: 1 - King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King 2 - Bo Hansson - Music Inspired By Lord Of The Rings 3 - The Alan Parsons Project - Tales Of Mystery & Imagination 4 - Astra - The Weirding 5 - Egg - s/t 6 - Rick Wakeman - The Six Wives Of Henry VIII 7 - ELP - s/t 8 - UK - s/t 9 - Starcastle - s/t 10 - Hatfield & The North - s/t

@@daltones agreed. It's power metal to my ears. Maybe has a slightly proggy influence, but I wouldn't call it prog.
I apologize for ragging on you George. I see your lists are posted. But it would still be wonderful to hear you announce your collection.
Love it when Chuck is on the show; his good-natured laugh always lifts my spirits, and he had the good taste to pick Split Enz.
Thank you very much my friend, I often have such a great time with these gents.

@@bernardlachance1821 For sure. He comes up with some great choices. Split Enz being a good example. Or on a previous episode when he pulled Henry Cow out of the hat.
I think Alan Parsons Project's debut, Tales of Mystery and Imagination, should at least get an honorable mention.
Definitely. I especially love The Fall of the House of Usher, although it’s not really even rock!
It would be near the top of my list!
It's the first one that came to mind for me!

Those first three albums show a different band than the more new wave and Beatlesque pop group they became in the early eighties. Worth checking out.
Chuck, excellent choice of Be Bop Deluxe. I love that band, Bill Nelson is such a phenomenal guitarist, vastly underrated in the history of prog art rock music. Looking forward to watching the next show with you on. Stay well my man, best regards from the Rock Hall City.
Another great show guys!!! I look forward to this every week!!! I now have some new music to check out even though I am familiar with some I'm gonna dig in to what I'm not
I can’t put in words how much I love this show!!!! Pete, Chuck George, Anthony - all great guys and great album picks! Love it!!! :D
"Neu" in German means "New" and it reads "Noy"
Exactly... I was going to post that but I had to check if someone had made the correction. The influence on Joy Division is very clear.
Was not considered prog on release, nothing else like it, could clear a room in five minutes.
Pete, these shows are costing me a fortune. Many of these releases are out of print and kind of pricey. George’s choice of Spiral Architect was spot on. The bass player is like a metal Jaco. Thanks
Haken - Aquarius
Riverside - Out Of Myself
Enchant - Blueprint Of The World
Kansas - Kansas
Vanden Plas - Colour Temple
Alcest - Souvenirs d'un autre monde
Out of myself is so great, people need to hear Riverside.

Galactic Cowboys - self-titled debut. I was blown away and had to buy the CD after seeing the video for the jaw-dropping We're Not Amused on MTV (must have been Headbanger's Ball). Other key tracks are Why Can't You Believe in Me (with its persistent vocal harmonies), *SEA OF TRANQUILITY*, the heavy Kill Floor and the emotional epic closer Speak To Me. Surprised this album/band isn't talked about more on the channel.
As usual, I learned a “ TON” tonight. Thanks 🙏 to all. Very knowledgeable cats !!!👍💯
I love that Andromeda debut, still listen to that a lot.
Great panel. Each comes in with a different perspective on the genres and its sub-genres.
Now, I'm not really a big fan..but Mike Oldfield...gotta be in there
The "A-TEAM" at their best - Great episode guys!!!!
Found some pretty interesting debuts in the collection, looking forward to see what the crew selects. My partial list:
'The Man Who Never Was' - This Winter Machine; 'Unorthodox Behaviour' - Brand X; 'Hinterland' - Wobbler; 'Krokus' - Krokus; 'The Jewel' - Pendragon; 'Atomic Ro-o-oster' - Atomic Rooster; 'Maxoom' - Mahogany Rush; 'Monolith of Phobos' - The Claypool Lennon Delirium; 'For All We Shared ...' - Mostly Autumn; 'Symphony X' - Symphony X

Knocking it out of the park Guys! Inside, inside baseball! Your shows are" joining the dots" to expand my knowledge of music.
fantastic segment here, sleeping on a lot of albums i simply passed over and introduced to some i've never heard of before. thanks!
Keats (1984) Cactus Choir - Dave Greenslade (1976)
Tonight’s show was Progtastic!
Hi Rand. I messaged you a couple of weeks ago about the Hands album. The second one I have a CDR of is actually called Palm Mystery, so I haven't heard the one you mentioned. Just done CDR,s of the two Sloche albums which I like a lot. Cheers.
@@robvickers2126 I never heard of Palm Mystery and neither has Discogs. Would love to hear it.
@@shyshift If you email me your address to rvickers1951@gmail.com I will post you a copy.
1 minute in, and i'm having to take the Jobson drink! And not to be a contrarian, but that Alan Parson's tales from Mystery and imagination deserved a shout-out! All-time best is KC though... Hug to the compadres!
Great picks! My favourite is KC as well. The Fall of the House of Usher is my favourite part of Tales even though it’s more classical than rock
@@erikberg5363 Epic symphonic.
Crack the Sky’s first album is brilliant!
Yes. Sadly ....Pete is not familiar with them. He needs to be however.! Fantastic debet!
Hey Chuck!!! Great picks- Crack the Sky are still fantastic and play here in Baltimore still! And Split Enz!!! You are the man my friend!
Thanks, I saw CTS here in New York City in 2019.
Fun show! Good picks from everyone. I'll be checking out a number of albums I don't know, which I always look forward to and enjoy!
Prog Power 2 was indeed the greatest lineup with Spiral Architect, lol they were also completely hammered after they played and even more entertaining by the end of the night.
Great picks from *everyone* on the panel. None of these are ranked, but here are some faves, mixed in with other faves I didn't hear mentioned:
1. Magma - s/t (Kobaïa)
2. King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
3. Emerson, Lake & Palmer - s/t
4. Gentle Giant - s/t
5. Todd Rundgren's Utopia (This would count as Utopia's debut)
6. Kansas - s/t
7. Ambrosia - s/t
8. Univers Zero - s/t (1313 depending on which issue you own)
9. Henry Cow - Legend
10. Brian Eno - Here Come the Warm Jets (my fav Eno album)
11. Faust - s/t
Mr. Bungle isn't a name mentioned very often. Love that self-titled album! Great to hear about Spiral Architect! Very glad to see Neu! on there.
That first Split Enz album is indeed a prog masterpiece - if not super original.
Epic show guys in fitting prog kinda fashion. Really love and appreciate the variety on this. Anthony's picks are more mellow and a bit jazzy with some Canterbury scene thrown int he mix. Pete's picks are a mix of classics and some lesser known prog rock. George's picks are largely metalled out and fusion whereas Chuck's picks also gives a nod to some krautrock classics. Great stuff thoroughly enjoyed it.
My picks in no particular order
1. Cynic-focus
2. King crimson-in the court of the crimson king
3. The mahavishnu orchestra-inner mounting flame
4. Al di meola-land of the midnight sun
5. E.l.p-e.l.p
6. T2-it'll all work out in boomland
7. Camel-camel
8. Opeth-orchid
9. Animals as leaders-animals as leaders
10. Leprous-tall poppy syndrome
One of the best "one and done" prog bands/album , Sound Of Contact - Dimensionaut
I bought Marillion's first album when it first came out by mistake ( I thought they did a song I really liked but was in fact by another band!). All these decades later and I still love its atmosphere.
Caravan's first is their best in my opinion, so should definitely be featured. Also Second Hand's "Reality", and Hawkwinds debut.
Great picks!
I would add
1- Al Di Meola- Land of the Midnight Sun
2- Captain Beyond- S/T Debut
3- Sensational AlexHarvey Band- Framed
Thanks for including IQ, Pete! If I remember correctly though, IQ's debut was "Seven stories into eight", which they released themselves, on tape only. Some one and a half decade later, IQ re-recorded it as " Seven stories into 98", and it really showcased what a great music material it was! If it had been recorded with that quality and that level of musicianship initially, in 82, it would've been a killer debut. "Tales..." was the first from them released by a label.
It was a demo, not an official release initially.
I would credit Fish with having an awesome solo debut...Vigil in a wilderness of mirrors. Fantastic, gives him a double honor of twin debut classics when paired with Marillions debut.
Yep, great choice!
...and this was the list in which Pavlov's Dog "Pampered Menial" had to be included! :) Still, great picks from everyone, thank you!
Great Job y'all... here's 5 more : 1. Faust "Faust" 2. Focus "Moving Waves" 3. Maxophone "Maxophone" 4. Spin "Spin" 5. Bo Hanssen "Music inspired by Lord of the Rings". 🎼🎵🎶
Oh I almost forgot _ Klaatu "Klaatu" 👽
Bo Hansen rarely gets a mention but it's so atmospheric.
Wow Pete the T-shirt you´re using looks amazing!!

9.StarCastle
8.Pallas-The Sentinel
5.Refugee

Love that Hands album, great choice.
@@robvickers2126 thanks.What do you think of the second album Strangelet(2008)?
@@shyshift Not as good as the first but very listenable. I always go back to the first one as a complete album but dip in and out of the second.
@@robvickers2126 It’s very rare too except for UA-cam.
@@shyshift Downloaded it from UA-cam until I can find an original at a reasonable price. There's quite a few becoming rare now and quite expensive on eBay, discogs and Amazon.
Great choices here - Steve Hillage, Steve Hacket, Camel, UK - but also several I now want to check out, so thanks for the recommendations!
In no order:
Anglagard - Hybris
Ragnarok - s/t (1976 Swedish band)
SFF - Symphonic Pictures
Anna Sjalv Tredje - Tussilago Fanfara
Picchio Dal Pozzo - s/t
Happy the Man - s/t
National Health - s/t
Solaris - Marsbeli Kronikak
Steve Hackett - Voyage of the Acolyte
Anthony Phillips - The Geese and The Ghost
George for the win mentioning Spiral Architect. They were great at ProgPower.
Pete and I agree 100% 👍
@@chuckazeee It is good to still hear people talking about Spiral Architect 20 years later. I agree that a second album should have happened. Hopefully, Terra Odium's debut album will help fill the void.
This is a hard choice....Most of the iconic Prog bands from the 70's didn't hit their stride until the second,third or even third album...back when labels would give you a few times at bat to get your stuff together before they cut you off .
True, as no one ever ranks the debuts from Yes and Genesis as their finest. The debut of Yes clearly shows the band dipping their toes in the water but not having their sound fully developed. From Genesis to Revelation was a pop album (that already sounded dated for 1969) that bore little resemblance to the prog rock they would quickly explore after this album. Other than King Crimson and perhaps ELP, the major acts didn't really take off until three or so albums. The more obscure bands tend to get it right away but many of them did release their debuts a little later on, where they could observe how many of the major bands evolved.
George you rock!!! Finally some love for When Dream and Day Unite! In my tope five lifetime records. Cheers man!
Love that Split Enz Mental Notes got a mention. That album had two bona fide geniuses, in Phil Judd and Tim Finn involved and is creepy, gothic, and strangely beautiful as hell. Nothing like the pretty disposable pop that followed.
Pete, The England and Cathedral picks are great. Thanks.
Neu -- great choice! (It's actually pronounced "Noy" in German). Also glad to see some love for IQ-Tales, and the first Kansas album, which blew me away when it was released; nothing else sounded like it. One that didn't get mentioned is PFM-Storia di un minuto. And finally, Phish-Junta: Prog fans need to check this out; there's some amazing instrumental prog embedded amidst the goofy lyrics.
That first PFM album is great, might even be my favourite from them. I need to investigate Phish some day soon
oops, I hit send too early; Pete listed PFM in honorable mentions.
@@erikberg5363 Hey Erik, yes that first PFM album still sounds fresh to me; their music ages well. For Phish's Junta, check out Divided Sky, You Enjoy Myself, and Fluffhead's Travels. But Phish is a better band live than in the studio, because they are excellent group improvisers, -- they never play a song the same way twice. Try A Live One. Happy phishing!
@@docbobster They sound right up my alley. Thanks for the recommendations!

"Mental notes" by Split Enz is a true bridge between Prog and New Wave...it's literally like if when Peter Gabriel quit Genesis, instead of getting Phil to replace him they hired on Ron and Russell Mael from Sparks instead.
Great show guys! Pete, surprised you didn’t include the Gentle Giant debut in your list 🤔👍🏻
NOY, not New or No - and btw probably the most intelligent and informed pick of the night. Chuck is the man.
You just can’t beat King Crimsons In the Court of the Crimson King. It’s impossible from my point of view.
Understandable....but that was kind of a one-off in that was the only album with that line-up
@@claytonchaney9171 It’s my favourite as well but you have an interesting point there. They had a different lineup on each of the first 4 albums
@@claytonchaney9171 Doesn't matter one inch, when it comes to the quality.
I think UK self-titled is musically stronger if you don't take its impact to the genre into consideration. Somehow Moonchild makes my In The Court listening experience a bit bitter, for me that's not a great improvisation. But maybe that's just me.
@@einarassipavicius1991 The UK debut is definitely great but I will always prefer Court; I think a lot of it has to do with the mood/vibe of the album, it’s very somber but majestic at the same time. I’ve never had an issue with Moonchild for whatever reason, but it’s definitely the weakest section of the album and I can understand why many people don’t like it.
Man.... I love this show. Had my top 10 loaded. Listened to 40 picks + tons of HM's, and still had a handful left on my list LOL. SUCH a great topic, and such a great conversation about a wide variety of music - including a few I have to check out.

Great picks, guys! And good call on Spiral Architect (though we Texans have always heard more than a little Watchtower in 'em! ).
Bought “Days of Future Past” in 1968 in Vietnam at a military BASE PX. Has “ Nights in White Satin” and “Tuesday Afternoon.” Two of their biggest hits ever.
It’s actually their second album, but a fantastic one anyway!
Right, I forgot. First Prog Album.
@@PieGuyBill I’ve never heard the debut personally. Have you?
@@erikberg5363 Are you a Denny Laine fan?
DoFP was technically their 2nd album. Their debut was The Magnificent Moodies which featured the blues-rock Denny Laine-led version of the band before Hayward and Lodge joined.
It's nice to hear people I personally don't know talking about the music I love! Great job, Gentlemen.
(No 'Jade Warrior...oh well)

No love for Echolyn? Their debut CD is amazing!
By the way, Alan Gowen play synths on the first National Health record.Dave Stewart plays organ.
