Just a correction to the first post …
‘In the Court of the Crimson King’
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.
What a great topic! Plenty of forgotten albums I’ll have to rediscover on Tidal tonight. Aside from what’s offered I’d suggest A Salty Dog by Procol Harum. Though there’s not a single long composition, there are plenty of the other characteristics that make it prog-worthy. -- What other song has seagulls??

Led Zeppelin & Black Sabbath are "progressive rock"? I did not know that. |
