Top 5 Prog Rock Albums

[lamour]

Let's see...

1) King Crimson - Red
wow, only 1 Bruford album in my top 5. who knew...

2) Gentle Giant - Playing the Fool
An excellent selection of songs. Excellent performances.

3) Peter Hammill - Silent Corner and the Empty Stage
On some days, this could be #1.

4) Echolyn - As the World
I played this CD in my car for close to 6 months at one point.

5) Djam Karet - Burning the Hard City
Have to love the jams.

What I found interesting is that the most critically acclaimed albums by Genesis and Pink Floyd are apparently not the favorites of Moon listeners. After all, Dark Side of the Moon is considered the best Pink Floyd album by most critics I've seen, but Moon listeners who picked a Floyd album overwhelmingly favored Wish You Were Here.

With Genesis, Lamb Lies Down has always been considered their best album (critically speaking) but most of the Moon listeners identified Selling England by the Pound as their favorite Genesis album (it's mine, too).

I wonder if anyone has any thoughts on why there's such a difference?

Critics are idiots.
