Your favorite prog rock music? ?

Here some we missed:
Marillion(all the stuff with Fish on vocals)
The Flock
Alquin(early stuff before they sold out)
Frank Zappa(Uncle Meat,Burnt Weeny Sandwhich,Zappa in New York etc.)
Refugee
Lake
Maxaphone(great album)
Manfred Mann's Earth Band

another of my favorites that is missing is Man. Their best is "Be good to yourself at least once a day"

Xiekitchen/Dan_ed - I'm with you on Novella, but I like "Song for All Seasons" just as much, and I prefer the music on "Scheherazade" a little more than both, but the pressings (I have 2) on it aren't as good (actually the Scherazade pressings are poor).

Also, I have Jade Warriors "Kites" but prefer "Waves" and "Floating Worlds" which have superior dynamics IMO, and I just prefer the music. The latter 2 are good audiofile quality pressings.

Finally, have either of you tried Illusion - "Out of the Mist"? Jane Relf isn't Annie Haslam, but on the other hand, Annie Haslam isn't Jane Relf. Jane is one of my favorite vocalist, sadly it's hard to find much by her except for the Illusion work, and "Moonstone".

Hello Bdgregory:
I too really like "Song for All Seasons" and "Scherazade": you must obtain original U.K. pressings of Renaissance or the MFSL pressing of "S" other wise you're right...U.S. pressings are poor.
Same for the Jade Warrior... Kites is bad to begin with, almost IMPOSSIBLE to find Kites on the very 1st Antilles label which is better pressed than Island.. I have gone through about 3 each copies of U.K. pressings of "Waves" and "Floating World" before finding mint clean copies.
