    When you mention Queen people are going to say "A Night At The Opera" which is fantastic. But for me it's "Queen II", top to bottom.

    Interesting that so many other You Tube music critics name Kerry Livgren as a great guitarist. But not only that - a great pianist, synth player, and composer/orchestrator. He can't read or write music & never took a lesson, so he'd compose in his head & teach the prog song parts to the other 5 members of Kansas in the studio. And he's absolutely the most humble guitarist/musician on the planet. Amazing that he recovered from a terrible stroke in 2009 that left him unable to walk, talk, or use his hands. But he still plays with Kansas occasionally and is busy composing in his studio. God's gift to music!

    "In Rock" - Perfection
    "Blow By Blow" - Perfection
    "Slide it In" - Perfection...BUT..I must have the UK version. LOL I prefer that by far over the US version.
    "Back In Black" - can't listen to it anymore. I would have to skip half the album to keep from going nuts. It USE to be a perfect album for me.
    "Escape" - I will drown my own children to not hear "Don't Stop Believing" again!
    "Sonic Temple" - Not a fan but well produced and played.
    "Mob Rules" - Stunning Perfection
    "Rock and Roll Over" - Half is perfection....1/4 is very good...the other 1/4 I can't stand.

    Rush - 2112, A Farewell to Kings, and Hemispheres are 100% perfect. Never got into Vital Signs or Witch Hunt on Moving Pictures, and Permanent Waves isn't quite perfect either - Freewill, Entre Nous and Different Strings are slightly weaker tracks. Clockwork Angels would be perfect if not for Wish Them Well. In my opinion, Wish Them Well is the only bad song Rush ever recorded.
    Yes - Close to the Edge (was mentioned in the first episode) is perfect, as is Relayer in my opinion.
    Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet. As great as any prog album from the 70s, perfect top to bottom. Not just every track but every performance, part, tone, and note. Not a single thing could be done to improve that album for what it is.
    Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick. Definitely perfect, but it might be cheating since it's basically a single song (just broken into two parts.)

    Journey’s ‘Escape’ really is a fantastic record. Steve Perry is one of the rock singers who attended the Church of Sam Cooke along with Rod Stewart.
    ‘Blow by Blow’ is a masterpiece. I heard it for the first time on a coach when I was at school, on our way to France for a ski trip. Listening on my Walkman, stunned by ‘Scatterbrain’ and entranced by ‘Cause We’ve Ended As Lovers’. For me the best record George Martin made outside The Beatles. My second favourite guitarist of all time after Richard Thompson.

      An underrated Kansas album that's for sure, not a favorite for me but I like it quite a bit Relentless was killer live totally amazing, overall some brilliant 'forgotten' Kansas songs that kick butt so it's perhaps unfairly ignored. I think, Walsh and Livgren's solo albums were both probably the better releases of the three, curiously enough.
