Music Lists: Progressive Rock Albums

I was looking through my little black book of lists and found an interesting Prog Rock list that I wrote down several years ago. I am not to sure where the list came from, but, I think it was from a UK extreme music magazine. I think it works quite well as a broad introduction as there are a wide range of styles included in the list. Although, it is definitely focused on 70’s albums. Here is the list:

• King Crimson – Red (1974)
• Yes – Close To The Edge (1972)
• Rush – A Farewell To Kings (1977)
• Jethro Tull – Thick As A Brick (1972)
• Van Der Graaf Generator – Pawn Hearts (1971)
• Soft Machine – Third (1970)
• Genesis – Foxtrot (1972)
• Atomic Rooster – Death Walks Behind You (1970)
• Pink Floyd – Meddle (1971)
• Hawkwind – Space Ritual (1973)
