That you should. I love Tarkus.

Alan Parsons should be in the top 30. This list is bs for the most part. The top 7 are good except for KC at # 2.

Only reedeming feature of that list is that muse is not on it.

Well, what's already been said aside, Gentle Giant and Anglagard should both be lot fucking higher on that list than they are.

And secondly, where's Brazil's Bacamarte? They did one of the 15 best prog. rock albums of all damn time!!

I know Dream Theater sucks balls, but impact is impact.

I left out most of the krautrock, prog metal and post rock bands because they can usually be pigeonholed into other genres.

No thoughts whatsoever?

OK just for you Boo Boo

Uriah Heep just 2 lower than Soft Machine

Should be at least 50

boo boo · 04-18-2009, 08:34 PM

Uriah has a lot of influence on prog metal, which is why I think they warrant a high placement.

That and they're awesome and I'm biased.

Urban Hat€monger ? · 04-18-2009, 08:36 PM

I wasn't aware of that not listening to either Uriah Heep or Prog Metal.

That just makes me want to bump them down another 100 places.
