Where's my album!!??

I’m one of those crazy people who would say Tales from Topographic Oceans is perfection… it’s just a perfectly structured rock symphony… but certainly the perfection of Close to the Edge is indisputable. Great selections overall!

Nektar Remember the Future is one that should be included in my opinion!

Hey Scot, new to the channel, but I'm so glad you mentioned PFM Per Un Amico! I rarely see it get brought up in any conversations, and it deserves a lot more attention than it receives!

#1 for me is Yes "Relayer" but I totally get the number one choice.  Hot Rats (and The Grand Wazoo!) , Crime Of The Century, Dark Side Of The Moon, Hand Cannot Erase etc... all fantastic albums!

Renaissance - Scheherazade and Other Stories!!!!!!

Thanks for going with Wish You Were Here over the other ones. Dark Side is the obvious choice and Animals is a personal favourite of mine (and you too apparently), but Wish You Were is phenomenal. The best sounding album - production wise - of the 70s.

Love your videos man! So much positive energy.

If it ain't topographic it has to be the edge! Love the fact that the artwork can make it perfect. 👌

It’s like trying to pick a favorite child ,you can’t. I do agree with #1 , I’ve spent a great part of my 62 years listening to it.  On a side note about 20 years ago Jon Anderson moved into our little town on the coast of California ( He’s really friendly and very social) it’s really cool to see him in Trader Joe’s or Starbucks.  Thanks for the video.

I find that almost every Moody Blues 7 core albums are perfect !

Wow! Talk about enthusiasm. The old hippie is spot-on when talking about great prog rock albums. A lot of my favorites are included here. Thanks for a great video, my friend. Keep 'em coming! (PS: He must have one hell of a vinyl collection. And I love how he has them protected by plastic covers. Smart.)

Love your enthusiasm for prog! Feel the same way about so many of these albums! Of bands not listed I would include: Anyone's Daughter - Adonis, Spirogyra - St Radigunds, Amon Duul II - Wolf City,  Jan Dukes de Grey - Mice and Rats in the Loft, Magma - Kohntarzosz, Nektar - Remember the Future,  Dom - Edge of Time, Popol Vuh - Hosianna Mantra, Agitation Free - Malesch, Asia Minor - Between Flesh and Divine

Firstly, I'm really impressed that you showed all vinyl! I have most of these albums myself. So happy with these choices Scot.

You just keep getting better and better . I look forward to all your videos . I can appreciate all these bands but of course the best of the best will always be YES . ROCK ON SCOTT 🎉🎉👍👍💪

I got misled a bit as I had the subtitles switched on - they kept saying "Prague" rock instead of prog.   For a moment I thought you were waffling on about an obscure offshoot of mainstream rock from the Czech Republic, ya know, when people talk about the Seattle sound  LOL!

I'm not sure what the criteria for "perfect" is, but IF it means "love every song/track on it" then my list would probably be VERY different from most others.
Usually the FIRST one that pops into my head is Images and Words by Dream Theater.
If I chose a Pink Floyd album, it would probably be Animals.
I think you already know that my favorite albums by Kansas & Rush are Point of Know Return & Moving Pictures.
For Genesis, I most likely would include Trick of the Tail. Not because I have ANYTHING against Peter Gabriel, but Like with most of my other choices, I think this album was the culmination, or peak of where they were heading, or "progressing'," and their sound really GELLED on this one. They had all of the elements that made them great: The PROG sound, the melodic sound,  but it was quite a bit more "accessible" or "mainstream" then anything they had done before, so it was the kind of sound that could reach a wide audience without compromising what made MADE them Genesis.
As for Yes, I would have a hard time deciding between The Yes Album, Close to the Edge, and 90125,  as eclectic as that may sound.
For ELP, I pretty much see their first album as something that they never surpassed.
I'm not really much of a Styx fan these days, but in my younger years I ALSO would have picked The Grand Illusion.

Great work again, that's a very good selection with only a couple of differences for me but our lists change all the time!

What a great set of albums here Scot. Simply brilliant
