that album is great. The best track is Goliath.

Discipline by King Crimson contains some of the catchiest, most engaging prog I've ever heard.

Also, Acquiring the Taste by Gentle Giant is growing on me.

What about Animals and Meddle? I think those are really underrated Pink Floyd albums. Also you need to check out Dredg's new album, its one of their best so far.

I don't mind the vocals, I just don't like how noisy it is. It seems like there's too much going on at any given point.

Colors by Between the Buried and Me.

Dream Theater stuff.

Close To The Edge by Yes

Fragile by Yes

Lightbulb Sun by Porcupine Tree

The Dark Third by Pure Reason Revolution

Brain Salad Surgery by Emerson, Lake, and Palmer

Islands by King Crimson

In The Wake of Poseidon by King Crimson

Rapid Eye Movement by Riverside

Emergent by Gordian Knot

Octopus by Gentle Giant

Something like that. Now a few Prog Metal mentions, because I can.

Remedy Lane by Pain of Salvation

The Perfect Element by Pain of Salvation

Focus by Cynic

The Human Equation by Ayreon

01011001 by Ayreon

Scenes From A Memory by Dream Theater

Second Life Syndrome by Riverside

The Black Halo by Kamelot

I'm weird because the only Mars Volta album I really like is Amputechture.

[QUOTE="jaydough"] Can't blame you. That's the reason a lot of people don't like them. MysticDynamite

I'd say Damnation by Opeth. There's no growling on the album and for the most part its acoustic. So that gets my vote. But if we're talking prog metal, I would have to say either Colors by Between The Buried And Me or Still Life by Opeth.

1. Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

2. King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King

3. Yes - Close to the Edge

4. Dream Theater - Awake

5. Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet

6. Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon

7. Rush - Signals

8. Yes - Fragile

9. Tool - Lateralus (This is on my list because its the most progressive of all Tool releases)

10. Pink Floyd - The Wall

Wish You Were Here-Pink Floyd(along with a few other PF albums)

...And Justice For All-Metallica

So, am I like the only person on the planet that thinks while In The Court is good, it does not come close to being King Crimson's best?

Seriously, I prefer The Power To Believe and Thrak over it...

very interesting how soo many ppl are saying PF's wish you were here, and no one else said animals :(nimatoad2000

top 2 are:

traced in air-cynic (arguably metal, but still an odd duck to classify)
