The 40 Greatest Progressive Rock Albums (same list - reupload)

Disclaimer
These are my favourite progressive rock
albums. Again I had to set some ground rules
so that things do not become chaotic.
(1) For me the first Progressive Rock
album is King Crimson's first album released
on the 10th of October 1969. Anything
before that is not taken into consideration.
(2) The Progressive Metal genre is going to
be covered in a separate list, so no albums
from that genre were considered.
(3) The long time period covered made me
change my usual 25 choices to 40. Also there
are 2 albums per artist with two notable - and
I think justifiable - exceptions.
Feel free to comment!
P.S. Albums are in alphabetical order

Thanks for making it international. Not surprising I have about 90% of them.

Thank you! This is the first prog rock assessment video I've seen which gives little snippets of music for those of us who are not familiar with all the bands.

Spartacus by Triumvirat 1975

[@WorseReviews]

Fav album from this list is definitely Rush - Moving Pictures, one of my fav albums of all time!

[@richardthorne2804]

Styx grand illusion is one of the best albums ever. I know everybody likes it but having said that it’s still so underrated.

[@tpr299]

Gypsy. A fantastic progressive rock band.

[@ahmetege2738]

That is hardest to make top video I have ever seen. Thanks for your effort

GONG YOU

[@massimomarchesin8708]

Ottime scelte sicuramente ma mi aspettavo altri albums storici e di grande livello come NURSERY CRYME dei GENESIS, BRAIN SALAD SURGERY degli EL &P , A PASSION PLAY dei JETHRO TULL, OCTOPUS dei GENTLE GIANT, e poi NIENTE STRAWBS, Niente CURVED AIR , e molti altri ancora??? È vero che la scelta era per 40 titoli ma potevano anche almeno 100 così che potevano entrarci da citare altri interessanti dischi!!!!!!!!!! Però ripeto questa scelta è abbastanza BUONA!!!!!!!!! Molti albums inseriti in questa lista,mi trovano pienamente d'accordo 👍

How can there be too much King Crimson? Only three albums each some of the highest acclaimed of the genre. Personally surprised Discipline didn’t get a mention.

[@edljnehan2811]

@@swimswammswom4822 you had better learn how to count h o s s. Only three albums? Their Classic Albums alone amounted to 4 counting discipline. And they're 1980 stuff which I don't even count was even more however the only albums I considered worth of crap was their first one Lark's Tongue in aspic and red. With all of these other great early seventies because that's all I count really progressive rock bands why do all of King crimson's unless you're a huge fan boy. Hey I love those three King Crimson albums okay however there were a lot of groups back then that should have at least had one or more albums mentioned. Especially the German and Dutch and even the Canterbury scene. I mean how about Focus camel nectar Gypsy Rare Bird Star Castle do you see what I'm saying why do all King Crimson albums? The same with yes why do all Yes albums. ELP from a musician standpoint blew them all away but you're only going to pick one ELP album? Why is it all of these channels select nothing but King Crimson yes and Rush? Especially Rush who only had two progressive rock albums farewell to Kings and hemispheres maybe 2112 and that was back in the 1970s nothing they released after that was progressive rock and actually stunk in my opinion. All that I'm saying is if you like this group pick an album or two there are plenty of unsung heroes out there that are far better than King Crimson even though I love King Crimson give these other bands a little love especially since some of them blow the doors off of King Crimson. I am the colonel of all that is p r o g.

IF you don't have 5 YES albums here,well it's a farce.

[@dougreed2257]

Not sayin' I fon:t agree with some of your choices, but, this should be titled "My favourite 40 prog rock albums, because this is certainly not the greatest 40 in my opinion😊

[@dennisrathbone2128]

What? no Kansas or Styx, while including obscure Italian artists, kudos for not including Gentle Giant.

[@bigmacjon367]

What’s wrong with gentle giant?

[@allanbetz3827]

What a crappy collection. I don't agree with any of this.

[@alysiakrasilnikova1121]

Genesis, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, E.L.P ..... And other.....

[@franciscojaviermoragregato2719]

Great band "Other"! 😂
