The People's Forum: Depending on what you think of a more AOR sound then leftoverture may not hit

they are seen as the American genesis and although very groggy at times, its in an American and not European way. If you do check it out make sure you listen to the long song.

Wish You Were Here was in my mind but I was unsure if that counts as prog. And in case I have certainly listened DSOTM more times.

Leftoverture is completely new to me, have to check that out. Rest I have listened at least something so the name is familiar although in many cases just one album. Just like with PH I have tried to get into Selling England but hasn't happened.

So basically my TOTB has already filled its purpose, I got something new to check out.

Genesis: The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway / Selling England
Yes: Close to the Edge / Fragile
Caravan: Land of the Grey and Pink
Gong: You
King Crimson: Red
Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here / DSOTM
Van Der Graff Generator: Pawn Hearts
Camel: Mirage
Gentle Giant: Octopus
Kansas: Leftoverture

Thats with 1 per band, but I think you could make up most of the top 10 with Genesis, Yes and PF (and Red).

I'm clearly a poser since my prog rock education is lacking (not enough time spent listening to many of the classic bands) but what are everyone else's favourite albums?

Mine, in no particular order:
King Crimson: Red
Amon Duul II: Phallus Dei
Wigwam: Nuclear Nightclub
Caravan: In the Land of Grey and Pink
KTU: Quiver
Jethro Tull: Heavy Horses
Porcupine Tree: In Absentia
Yes: Close to the Edge
Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon

I just re-listened to Pawn Hearts and it was better than I remembered. Need to work on it a bit more.

I omitted live albums & picked just one album from each artist. And originally I was going to top 5 but that was too difficult.
