    years ago, I did a semester of college in jalapa, mexico....my irish roommate and I had a “record player” and three albums....commander cody, leo kottke and ELP Tarkus....I played tarkus nearly every day.....earlier today, I heard “take a pebble” by ELP......my wife would call that “drug music”....and she’d be right.
    If I had known then what I know now...

    Are you on the progressive side? List you 10 favourite prog-rock/art-rock albums here and discuss them.

    My 10 favourite are (in no particular order):

    1. YES - "Close to the edge"
    2. YES - "Fragile"
    3. Genesis - "Selling England By the Pound"
    4. Santana - "Abraxas"
    5. Santana - "Santana III"
    6. Marillion - "Script for a Jesters tears"
    7. Marillion - Misplaced Childhood"
    8. RUSH - "2112"
    9. King Crimson - "In the Court of the Crimson King"
    10. Genesis - "The lamb lies down on Broadway"

    Hmmm... now I wished that I named the list "40 favourite prog-rock albums" instead of "10 favourite....". I want to include more Genesis, RUSH, Yes, Santana, King Crimson and some early Pink Floyd ....

    PEACE

    marillion clutching at straws has remained top 3 prog masterpieces for me some 30+ years later after it was released
    it stills blows me away. especially being fish's final album   :(

    Not sure about the whole top ten, but Coheed and Cambria - In Keeping Secrets & Good Apollo IV are definitely on it.  Probably a Maston album in there as well.
