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!

Unbelievable ! I thought I was the only one who listened to these classic relics! Someone else owns a PFM LP?
Anyone else own "Scarlet Rivera"?

PS - Awesome thread. Now I don't feel so alone...
I grew up on Yes, Pink Floyd, Genesis, Camel, etc. Current artists of interest: Porcupine Tree ('In Absentia,' 'Deadwing'), The Pineapple Thief ('Variations On a Dream'), Transatlantic ('S.M.P.T.E,' 'Bridge Across Forever').

www.progarchives.com is a good place to read listener reviews.

All the above (except the Cars) plus a few more I have in my collection:

Egg
Henry Cow
Slapp Happy
The Nice
Van der Graaf Generator (alluded to by Audiofeil)
Procol Harum
The Enid
Osanna
Kansas
Spocks Beard
Liquid Tension Experiment
Mars Volta

and a few who are maybe classified as Prog Jazz or Fusion but I feel can be concidered Prog Rock:

Dixie Dregs
Mahavishnu Orchestra
Jean-Luc Ponty
Return To Forever
Triumverat, Grobschnitt, The Nice, Van de Graaf Generator.

Very highly recommended:
Triumverat - Illusions on a Double Dimple, Spartacus
Grobschnitt - Rockpommel's Land

I've got one record of the others but haven't listened to them in years. Time to fire up the record cleaner.....
I think someone needs to define Progresive Rock. I always felt it was when other elements or styles of music were introduced to Rock n Roll. Example side two of King Crimson's Lizard or Moody Blues Days of Futures past.
