I am a gig connoiseur of Saga but i would assemble it differently. My personal opinion. Missing a lot of other hits. 👍🤞✌️

The most of your list I agree with. But you are the second guy that set "Trust" in the place less than ten. I love this album, it sounds like they where reborn again

Very nice ranking. Some id put in a slightly different order but I like your choices!

Thanks, Jens, great list....and yes, "Don't be late " is of course the undisputed winner...😘

I actually like "Pleasure and the Pain"! It was a continuation of the "new sound" begun with "Generation 13". I liked it, but I'm also very critical of it. It had some of Saga's FINEST music on it, but they made a lot of mistakes with it. They should have gotten rid of the techno music, they shouldn't have ended the album with a slow song, and they shouldn't have put a Beatles cover on it. If they would've replaced those three songs with other songs made with the same sound as the remaining songs, it would've been a more even-sounding album, and it would've been a better album. The finalé was one of the best jams I ever heard!

There's NO WAY "Wildest Dreams" ranks as high as it does here. It's without a doubt one of their worst albums. It only has one excellent track ("The Way of the World"), one very good song ("Have We Been Here Before"), and one pretty good song ("Don't Look Down")!!!!!!! And there's ABSOLUTELY NO WAY it's better than "The Beginner's Guide....."!!!!!!!! That album is one of their VERY best and a masterpiece! I'd probably put this album tied with "Steel Umbrellas" for last place. I actually like the latter a little better because it doesn't have any garbage on it like "Chase the Wind", which is Saga at it's ABSOLUTELY lowest creative point and highest commercial drek point. It's only a little better than the eighties Chicago sound. SU has some excellent moments from Jim Gilmour!

Love it! Thanks for sharing, Jens! Just a fantastic collection!❤

I guess I have a lot of listening to do!

The last album I bought was Generation X. I Was still looking for that older Saga sound like on Silent Night or World's Apart, or even something close to Behaviour (their last good album), thus I was disappointed with Generation X. Actually, after their 1987 album Wildest Dreams came out, I knew that the muse had pretty much left the band.

I was so glad i got to see saga in winnipeg canada about 6 yrs ago !

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

où est Steve négus ?

Kul lista. Många bra låter. Jag tycker House of Cards är det bästa albumet de har gjort. Sen finns det många bra låter på olika album, men jag återkommer alltid till House of Cards :)

Can’t disagree with your ranking, thanks for the post

Man, I don't even listen to much Saga at all, I just knew Silent Knight and thought it's a fucking masterpiece and stumbled across this ranking All throughout, listening to every one of your 22 samples, every time I didn't see Silent Knight I was secretly like "what are the chances Silent Knight is top 10" then "what about top 5..." "top3???" "FUCK YEAH:D"

Immensi

So cool

Am Sonntag, den 05.06.2022 bin ich in Koblenz auf der Festung Ehrenbreitstein (Rheinland-Pfalz in Deutschland) auf einem SAGA Konzert und freue mich schon unheimlich darauf.

Hi Jens, this is Jochen from Germany. I saw your room tour. Very fantastic!!!!! So, that's an interesting ranking. I'm wondering about the high positions for House of cards and Full circle. For me both are good albums, but it's not the same like the early days. Wildest dreams on 10? Are you mad? - Sorry about this, but I don't understand, how could you say anything good about this one?! - OK. My list is also controverse ;-) 1. Saga 2. World's apart 3. Images at twilight 4. Silent knight 5. Heads or tales 6. Behaviour 7. 10.000 days 8. Generation 13 9. Security of illusion 10. Full circle 11. Network 12. Trust 13. House of cards 14. Marathon 15. 20/20 16. Human condition 17. Beginner's guide... 18. Sagacity 19. Steel umbrellas 20. Wildest dreams / Pleasure and the pain (I can't decide which one is more awful) "Phase 1" for me isn't rankable, because it is no real studio album. And "Symmetry" is a beautiful adventure. (maybe 8. or 9.)

Var i London 1980. Skulle se Styx, in kliver ett förband jag aldrig hade hört talas om. Blev helt ställd, sedan dess är Saga ett av mina favorit band, men fortfarande är Rush nummer ett

Hi Saga I love your music wishing you the best from Puerto Rico I wish you had an out door concert I don’t like indoors with the rising cases of Covid-19 Rock on and Don’t be late love love love

Congratulations on the sublime collection, Jens. I take it by now, you will surely have all the vinyl remasters. Which is your favourite album?

Fantastisk video. Stort tack. Har sett alla utom Draken. 1983 på Hovet var stort. Gino glömmer vi men John Wetton var bra. Men mitt största minne är den från Kolingsborg av alla ställen. Stämningen var så elektrisk så man kunde ta på den. Ett par år senare åkte jag till Helsingborg för nästa turné. Bandet stod utanför lokalen på eftermiddagen när jag gick förbi. Jag berättade om mitt minne och dom kom ihåg hur stället såg ut. Uppenbart en speciell kväll även för dom.

Saga deserves going to The Rock 'n' Roll Hall Of Fame.

One of the best snare sounds EVER as well.... heavy rim-shots !

One of our best bands EVER !!!!!

Kul att se vad du gillade. Min ser lite annorlunda ut. Favoritskivorna är Heads or Tails och Behaviour. Tyckte även Network var oväntat bra. Lyssnar du något på Rush? Saga och Rush blandas när jag är på det progressiva lyssningshumöret :)

Amazing collection! I NEED a Full Circle poster. Was that album released on vinyl?

Tack för den resan. Har följt Saga sedan 1980. Såg dem på Draken första gången. Hamnade bakom mixerbordet och fick därför ny plats på en av de första raderna mitt framför scenen. En upplevelse bara det. Har sedan dess sett dem otaliga gånger live. Även det där sorgliga tillfället på Gino.

Their first 4 albums were fantastic. They lost something after that, though they hit on it a couple of times on a song here and there. I've tried to listen to their other albums but it just wasn't there for me.

Många härliga minnen. Fantastiskt band, fantstiska låtar. TACK, Jens! Vill helst glömma I.C.'s "cymbalspel" på Gino...

I'm a great fan of saga band since the begining, i was a young boy, i saw saga live only twice, the first time at rock of ages festival in germany at 2006, saga were the headliners, i also met michael sadler and the crichton brothers a few hours before their show, it was a meet and greet with the fans, the show was a truly celebration, the second time was at sweden rock festival at 2014, this time the show was like a big party, if you saw saga live you know what i'm talking about, i love all their albums, i feel that the albums from 2012 and 2014 should have been higher, saga had success in germany with the albums from 1985 and 2012, those albums got very high on the german chart, thank you.

Where would symmetry fit in your ranking?

Bien de la chance d'avoir réuni tout ça et d'avoir vu SAGA en concert autant de fois ! Nous en France nous sommes les parents pauvres du rock hélas !

Absolutely Amazing!!!!😱😨😦😧👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

As a fan since 1980, I largely agree with your rankings. The first half is nearly chronological in the ranking, the second half, well there are a couple of albums I can and do live without. I think it is fairly typical for people to like the sound that they are first introduced to. For me, the 'low' was the song Fantastically Wrong on Pleasure and the Pain. It was. The last couple of albums just weren't the same Saga sound. I understand and appreciate a band's desire to experiment and evolve. Nothing says I must like everything they put out. Wouldn't it be great for them to go back and compose like it was some period like the first 3 or 4 albums. Recapture that sound but with new songs! Awesome to consider....

Some disagreement. Security should have been higher, 13 lower. Thanks anyway

Interesting! especially because I have to thank the band for being able to accompany them for so long. What was that time? But when the taste in music changed, the band got bent. From Wildest dreams the mainstream followed ... and other albums that had nothing to do with SAGA. Except for a few songs ... SAGA had lost an incredible number of fans and only came back musically with Full Circle. What would have happened if they had remained true to themselves? Sometimes it makes me sad that they could not maintain their leading position and also disappointed the fan. But after all these many years they are still there ... and one shouldn't complain about that. Thank you!

Mike Thorne is a friend of mine and I shared this video to his Facebook page. Cheers!

Everyone should have such a SAGA mancave ;.). SAGA has been with me since I can remember ... and has become an integral part of my life. I am happy to have met people like Jens. I am sure we will get to know each other personally at some point. I also find it remarkable how Michael reacts to it ..... man of honor! SAGA has given us a lot and if you can give it back, it's a wonderful situation. Thank you for everything! The SAGA never ends :-)

WOW! now that is a collection to be proud of. Stunning, not only for it's completeness but for the presentation too. It looks so neat and tidy and makes my man cave look like it's been ravaged by a tornado :-). I've been a fan of Saga since 1977 and they are one of my all time favorite bands. I have every album on cd and vinyl. I also have the dvd's and some signed memorabilia. I had a couple of phone calls from Michael Sadler which hold dear memories but sadly I've never managed to be able to catch them in concert. I hope one day that I might get to fulfill that wish.

Wow! I've got to stop by in person next time I'm in town. Absolutely amazing collection. I'd like to thank you Jens, on behalf of the entire band for your incredible support through the years. Please contact me on Facebook before the next time we're in town - let's make this happen ;)

Oh My Goodness! I love this man! I just did a tour of Germany to meet SAGA fans. Next time (after COVID) I have to come to Sweden to meet you!

Kul att se, men det går lite långsamt jämfört med Paquito Navarro...
