Yes, the genre so despised by punks so probably a fair proportion of NSC :smile:

Anyway I will plump for Peter Gabriel's Genesis and particularly the fantastic Sellimg England by the Pound which still sounds as good today as it did in 1973

I'll second. Perhaps the most obvious, but it is still the most bloody awesome album to listen to. Got to say, also love The Wall. I think I've come to understand that differently with age.

2 votes for the 1972 Medicine Head album as opposed to the brilliant THE Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd released in 1973. :lolol:

A Trick of the Tail, for me. Closely followed by Wind and Wuthering.

I adore Genesis including their work with Gabriel but there's something about those 2-3 albums with Collins before they turned the pop corner* that are magical, especially the ones with Hackett.

*Duke is a good album however.

I loved all their album sleeves but for whatever reason musically I just found them TOO self indulgent and I wasn't a fan of Jon Anderson's voice (I'll make an exception for Owner of a Lonely heart though). I know they are probably recognised as the definitive Prog rock band though.

I also have a soft spot for the Court of the Crimson King, again a fantastic album sleeve too.

Pink Floyd until the Wall are quite possibly my all time favourite band and I have heard those early albums so often that I don't even think of them as Prog Rock, schoolboy error there.

Uriah Heap or Caravan anyone?

Blimey I didn't know it was a competition. :lolol:

While similar in places (and an obvious influence on them) I think you'd find Opeth rather different to King Crimson to be fair.
