What a rude little man...
Best progressive rock album side
My intent is to seek albums which I may not own from the recommendations of you all. I ranked best sides of progressive rock albums on vinyl that I own and came up with the following list. I don't want it to undermine anything else that an artist has created. I love it all but as far as start to finish on one side this is what I came up with.
#1: Supper's Ready
#2: Terrapin Station
#3: Atom Heart Mother
#4 The Court of the King Crimson
#5 Echoes
Of course there are many more. Some may not be complete sides like Atom Heart Mother but the intent of the artisan was to make it a complete side. I had a very hard time deciding between #1 and #2. Both are very worthy in my mind.

WAY too many great ones, among many subgenres to decide on just a few. So, I will break it down by subgenre. Also, let me state from the get go, that I am always saddened to see lists like these on various forums, with the complete lack of Italian bands listed. IMO, some of the best prog ever, came from Italy. Classic prog: Yes - toss up between Close to the Edge or Relayer, side 1 King Crimson - Lark’s Tongue in Aspic side 1, but this is close to a toss up with side 2 PFM - Per un Amico side 1 Banco del Mutuo Soccorso - Io Sono Nato Libero side 1 Genesis - Selling England side 1 Canterbury: National Health - Of Queues and Cures side 1 Hatfield and the North - The Rotters Club side 2 Picchio dal Pozzo - S/T side 2 by a hair Zeuhl: Magma - Köhntarkösz Anteria it was released on CD, so there are no sides Eskaton - 4 Visions side 1 Setna - Guerison CD only, no sides Koenji Hyakkei - Viva Koenji Cd only, no sides Avant-prog: Thinking Plague - In Extremis CD only, no sides Univers Zero - Uzed side 2 Art Zoyd - Berlin side 1 Henry Cow - Western Culture, side 2 Samla Mammas Manna - Måltid, side 1 Prog-metal: Pain of Salvation - Remedy Lane, CD only, no sides The Contortionist - Language, CD only Wolverine - The Window’s Purpose, CD only I could name quite a few more per subgenre, and even though I did list mostly recordings from the 70’s, I could name quite a few bands from the last couple of decades that I believe are close to those of the 70’s. Bands like: Anglagard (Sweden), Deus Ex Machina (Italy), Echolyn (USA), All Traps on Earth (Sweden), Aranis (Belgium), Il Tempio Delle Clessidre (Italy), and quite a few more have recordings that I place near the best. |
