Your favorite prog rock music? ?


I was just listening to, and burning some CDs for work when I heard "Time and a Word." I started thinking about some of the prog rock I have, but wondered what I should have that I don't have...

I mean music!
128x128nrchy
The cars??? Rick Wakeman - Journey to the Center of the Earth and King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. ELP - The first album w/ Lucky Man
anybody digs on CAN prog-dudes??
i like their every single album they've ever created and also solo albums of its members as well.
i have the whole Expedit(bookshelf from IKEA) "cell" filled with CAN!!
rare bird, barclay james harvest, kevin ayers, jane, flash, focus, affinity...yada yada
Egad, this brings back memories!

I'd add:
Badger, One Live Badger
PFM, PFM (from Italy!?!)
Split Enz, Mental Notes, Disrythmia
and my personal favorite late period obscure but terrific prog rock band:
Polyrock - Robertson brothers on guitars and guest player Phillip Glass on keyboards.
All right! I'm jumpin' in! A lot of the older, original groups have been listed already. My fave-o-rite NEW prog-rock group? Porcupine Tree!! Gonna see 'em 2 days in a row next month. For some *obscure* prog-rock, check out Symphonic Slam with Timo Laine and his 6 string polyphonic synthesizer - awesome!

Hey Lindisfarne, I also have the original Lindisfarne album - bought it solely because I LOVED the cover!

One other group I have not seen mentioned is Starcastle, they had several fairly popular albums back in the early 70s.
