The Top 20 Albums Everyone Should Own

This was good fun, 20 albums that we reckon are essential in any record collection! Hopefully you enjoy the video and we look forward to hearing your picks! #vinylcollection #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #progrock

Highly entertaining lists there folks. Great to hear your enthusiasm and love for the music coming through loud and clear. Great craic.👍

I’m really happy to see this channel grow the way it is. You guys are awesome and you deserve all of it!! 🤘🎶

[@SpinninProg]

Aw thanks Cody, you're the best! 😄

[@ericodijk]

Tommy Bolin prominently right in the middle of the picture all the time. Now that's an album!! I can relate to most of your band choices although here and there I would have chosen a different album from them. But hey, very solid choice!

[@SpinninProg]

We all hear things differently. So it would be boring if we all chose the same. Yes Tommy tends to be forgotten about because of his weaknesses as a person rather than remembered for hyx strengths as a musician.

Good list, guys. Thank you. Of course, you know which one is one of my big favorites.

[@Pwecko]

It's hard to choose a top twenty. The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, and the Rolling Stones have produced enough great albums between them to create a top twenty before considering anyone else.

I would like to suggest a band called the Warning they are a rock power trio of young sisters and they are very good They have opened and toured in support with the Muse, Three days grace, Halestorm and have opened for Foo Fighters, Def Leppard, the Killers and stryper. They have 3 albums out their latest is called ERROR and is a double record album. Their second album is a concept album also a double record album and is called Queen of the Murder Scene. The first album is called XXL Century blood You can see them in concert here on youtube and several of the videos of their songs.

I'm a yank from northeastern Pennsylvania turning 63 this month and was pleasantly surprised to see Little Feat among your choices. At this point in my life, I am on a daily (almost daily) quest to discover new music; which can mean chronologically new, or admittedly, a few of the things you guys mentioned. Looking forward to the next one. Cheers.

[@SpinninProg]

Thank you so much. We love the music collection that we have built between Dermot and Tara over the past forty something years. We constantly try to discover new (and good) things too. Our idea of starting this channel was to share our love and enthusiasm for great music and make new friends through it. So, welcome aboard friend.

You'll be pleased to know ive just subscribed, your that good hahaha. A great selection of essential music there, which.. i think i had 16 out of the 20 albums you both selected. You're like Mr Kipling, you have exceedingly good fooking taste, that was my Scottish accent attempting an Irish accent hahaha. Love your accent guys, could listen to you all day. The Irish accent is like the Scottish accent, you go to deepest England, Holland or Germany, you speak with your poshest well pronounced Irish ( in my case Scottish ) accent, only for folk to look at you with a blank stare, then utter those famous five words.... What the fuck did he say hahahaha.

"Flying Teapot" is a classic, as is "Angel's Egg", "You", "Camembert and Electrique". I also find their "Gazeuse" album (aka "Expresso" in the states) one of the best jazz fusion albums ever recorded, which also features Allan Holdsworth in guitar.

Some of my favourite albums of all time in there and a few I've not listened to - even though I should have perhaps - so some now on the list to get. Literally just ordered Oxygene earlier in the day before I saw this video. Rainbow Rising is the first LP I brought and I played it every day for a year or more and still one of the best rock albums of all time in my book. Deffo going to check out Steely Dan. Couple of must haves I would add are Queen's Day at the Races (several others of their's could feature too) and Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells or Crisis which I actually prefer overall. I've subscribed and look forward to watching your other posts ;0)

I know, it's definitely a big topic worth exploring! I think we'll have to do part 2 soon!

@@SpinninProg The majority of the records you showed i have since i am also a prog fan but i also collect other genres. right now I am into the Warning due to them being incredibly good!. They will be performing at the Wacken festival this year.

[@SDsailor7]

@@SpinninProg So do.yourself a favor and check the Warning out, They have a worldwide following. Cheers

[@apollomemories7399]

As a teenager back in the day when these albums came out, if you didn't own most of them you'd have been whipped to death.

[@stereo999]

I have all of those except Van Der Graf (I have different ones by them) and Marillion. Was happy to see Chicago VII in there

[@SpinninProg]

Thank you! We're glad you enjoyed! 😁

Love Farewell to kings

[@tonyyeatropoulos6829]

Glad to hear someone mention Gentle Giant, one of my Top 3 bands of all-time!

[@lwiful]

Nice video with great picks, but where's Rush 😉?

[@SpinninProg]

Just couldn't fit them in this video, I'm afraid. They were on the short list and will be coming in the next volume on this subject.

[@kenjones6441]

Not good enough to get in.

[@ilabelle1]

It’s a great subject. When it comes to essential albums we have to go outside the prog sphere. I’ll come up with my 20. They are not necessarily my favourite albums but rather they are important albums. Also there are some artists that would have multiple albums but I’m only going to pick one. So without further ado and in no particular order: 1. The Beatles - Revolver 2. Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited 3. Jimi Hendrix. - Are You Experienced 4. The Who - Who’s Next 5. Led Zeppelin - lV 6. Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon 7. Yes - Fragile 8. Deep Purple - Machinehead 9. Black Sabbath - Paranoid 10. The Doors - The Doors 11. Genesis - Selling England by the Pound 12. Jethro Tull - Aqualung 13. Rolling Stones - Let it Bleed 14. Supertramp - Crime of the Century 15. David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust & the Spiders From Mars 16. Moody Blues - Days of Future Past 17. Van Morrison - Moondance 18. Steely Dan - Aja 19. Beach Boys - Pet Sounds 20. Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road If you’re starting a record collection you can’t go wrong with this list. As I said they’re not necessarily my favourites by these particular artists but all of them are touchstones for 20th century rock music. 🤘😳🤘

That's a great list Ian! Loving the new profile picture by the way! 🙌🏻

@@SpinninProg I know. Not too shabby. Right? I could have come up with more. I’ve always been a fan of the Mad Hatter Charisma label. 🤘😳🤘

[@user-hc9xt8xf1i]

Great list. From some bands I prefer other albums : Led Zeppelin - III, Deep Purple - Made in Japan, The Doors - LA Woman. Only my opinion...

[@martinboucher1305]

Most of the Rooster albums are cool.They're all a little different from one another ! Death walks is superb.

Thank you! 😁

[@rolfjamne8922]

Great list. I got most of them. Missed Porcupine tree and Manfred Mann's eart band. Check out Solar Fire, it's a totally underratet prog album. I will recomand some Norwegian Prog for you. Popul vuh/ace ,their debut album. The lead singer was offered an audition for Genesis aften Gabriel left but he stayed loyal to his bandmates and turned down the offer from Genesis. Wobbler (Dwellers of the deep ) Retro prog, sounds like Yes and Gentle Giant.Check out the song Five rooms. Leprous. modern prog. Check out their song Running low. Kalandra. Folky Prog. Check out their debut album The line. You got a new subscriber. Prog on🤘

[@SpinninProg]

Thank you so much for the lovely comment and suggestions! We'll definitely check them out 😁

[@user-xh9rz7rf8l]

Pretty good options. Personally, I would change: Jean Michel Jarre with Doors - L.A Woman Marillion with Beatles - Abbey Road Rainbow with R. Gallagher - Calling card Genesis with the Aphrodite's Child - 666 Little Feet with Cold Blood - Cold Blood Gong with CCR - Bayou Country Keep rockin'

[@SpinninProg]

Some great choices there alright. Thanks for joining the debate.

[@josephboychak358]

Two of my favorites are: Be Bop Deluxe - Modern Music Uriah Heep - Demons and Wizards Another favorite that might not be considered as prog is Renaissance - Turn Of The Cards

[@SpinninProg]

Turn of the cards is amazing and definitely prog!! We love it!

I have no idea how you 2 popped up on my radar...but you have....was not expecting what I expected..i expected possibly the cure..stranglers...nirvana..talking heads (all the acts I mentioned are great imo)..me being prejudiced by your appearance so I apologise in advance of my limited ignorance...but was really surprised by your collection...a really good choice of LPs...never got into Chicago or King Crimson...but will start to give them a try...have had Marilion on the radar ...but do agree with aqualung .. quadrophinia ...foxtrot and the rest.... would have dropped in a Santana..10cc ..Queen ..bowie Roxy Music... Elton John.. bob marley..stevie Wonder..but this is your choice and not mine so I respect that...great choices again..thanks for your video.. to the world out there..never let peoples appearance deceive you.... people look at me think I listen to 50 cents..Rianna .. tpac etc..which is fine if you like these acts... are shocked when I throw in Deep Purple.. ELO.. Donna Summers (yes odd but true)... Status Quo...there are no rules in music..
