After 30 years of listening to rock music, something unexpected and fantastic happened. I discovered Spocks Beard and Neal Morse. 4 of the 1st 5 Spocks Beard albums are flawless and the Neal Morse solo albums are brilliant too. These boys have entered my all time top 5 at number 3 just behind Tull and Rush. Unbelievable after all this time.

For me it has to be anything by Jethro Tull. If I had to chose one album then I would say Thick As A Brick or Heavy Horses or.... ad infinitum

31/12/02: shane - orphanwilson@cs.com
first you have anything by Yes, then Kansas, then King Crimson, then Queensryche, then Dream Theater, then Ark...first album of all of them...breakthrough in the genre of prog!

Dream Theater's Images and words sparked the revival in the 90's and is definately noteworthy

31/08/02: Orlando - wounded@att.net
ENCHANT'S "Blueprint of the World". Amazing band, very original, even though you can hear hints of influential artists. All of their albums are great!!! A mellow Dream Theater...Enchant is a close second to D.T.
