Ranking the Albums: Egg

[@garyjoyce2160]

Pete, thanks for these album rankings. This to me anyway obscure “ group , I wouldn’t have learned without these shows “. Thx again 👍💯

[@webbvandiver9139]

Heard a few Egg songs searching Spotify prog playlists but nothing ever grabbed me…need to revisit.

[@steveton9155]

Arzachel deserved a mention. Egg are an absolutely fabulous band

[@TheGenreman]

And Khan

[@kennbrown4638]

1. The Polite Force 2. Egg 3. The Civil Surface

[@TheGenreman]

When Egg split up Clive Brooks joined the Groundhogs

[@progfrogian9226]

Dave Stewart is GOD!! I like to call them psych math rock. I would go 2-1-3 as my ranking. Like FZ said : No Commercial Potential, and that is a good thing. Essential stuff for any organ/keyboard fan.

[@YiannisIliakis]

Well said! I also think that they where the first math rock band!!

[@jeffreyrobinson9120]

Dave Stewart was such a talented guy, had a hand in a lot of great albums including "Space Shanty" by Khan with Steve Hillage, one of my favorites.

[@RanterInShades]

Discovered this band earlier this year. Pretty solid prog.

[@webbvandiver9139]

Definitely heard few Egg songs years ago but nothing stuck…need to revisit them. Thx Pete!

[@danielfuentes3226]

Fantastic reviewing these albums Pete.I know the band,but I have to check it out .

[@craigtoelle1052]

1. The Civil Surface - Steve Hillage! 2. The Polite Force 3. Egg All 3 albums are good, worth owning

[@keninboulder76]

I love "A Visit to Newport Hospital"

[@kenl2091]

Egg, for me are the quintessential Canterbury progressive rock band. It might not be the most commercial of music out there but Egg score highest on the progressive bingo card (unusual time signatures, virtuosic playing, left-field lyrics, atypical (for rock) instrumentation, long or multi-part songs) in my ears. Can't argue with your ranking but, again, there's some later released archive material well worth hearing (The Metronomical Society)

[@TractorCountdown]

I should know these as I love Hatfield And The North and National Health (although I only acquired them relatively recently), so can't wait to dig in. Thanks, Pete, great work as always.

[@rockonthestone4907]

These guys were so far ahead of their comteporaries, harmonically and certainly rhythmically. They made the proggiest stuff ever while prog was still defining itself

[@michaelbenz8092]

I'm a longtime prog fan but have been Canterbury deficient except for Bruford until recently. Now I've collected Egg and Hatfield and the North and some others. I love the multi-part epics in particular.

[@thomasdriscoll6846]

I don’t know why but I can’t do horns. Flute yes, sax sometimes, strings oh yes. But I can’t do brass in progish music. Thanks Pete! Now I know.

[@RockyMtnHigh-y1j]

1. Polite Force 2. Egg 3. The Civil Surface

[@gorancabrajic3240]

Egg was fantastic.

[@arnaudb.7669]

1- The Civil Surface ( for the sublime "Enneagram") 2- The Polite Force 3 - S/T

[@patrickmurphy4297]

...for those who love "live albums," you may want to check out an album released in 2007 entitled "The Metronomical Society"...it's radio show appearances along with other live material from Egg. Good stuff for "completists."

[@jimmycampbell78]

The Arzachel album deserves a listen too (Egg with Steve Hillage)

[@seaoftranquilityprog]

Yep, the Arzachel, and Khan album, are both great.

[@johnhenfrey5936]

1 The Polite Force 2 Civil Surface. I don’t own the Debut Album.

[@thewestbrooktrio4801]

The odd time signatures on The Polite Force are off the chart.

[@TomJarmusz-bb5yy]

Who?too many no name bands bye!

[@seaoftranquilityprog]

If you aren't willing to learn...bye!😊

[@molotulo8808]

I didn't get into Egg till recently, where Triumviat I gat into upon their album releases.. Egg's albums I prefer in the same order of release.
