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.

It's my privilege not to enjoy much of this which is pretentious twaddle.

By the way Dr Sardonicus is not prog rock and I do like it.

More psychedelic than prog.

Dark Star / Grateful Dead / Live Dead

It was all downhill from there.

Close to the Edge / Yes

A tour de force of prog.

One of the things I love about this hobby is there are so many different facets to it. It’s difficult to say which ones I enjoy more and it varies from time to time, but the appreciation of the artistic expression of music is, to me, what every other aspect leads up to. And the actual listening is what truly does it for me.

I appreciate being turned on to different artists, and different releases thru this community. Things I’ve learned about both equipment and music from surfing this site have opened up my ability to enjoy music that I would’ve never otherwise discovered. All that to say:

@clearthinker  you’re such a d**k for hijacking this thread.

Why don’t you go stir up s**t somewhere else?
