I hate this stupid thread but will post 5 anyway.

I hate it because I can never pick out 5 titles!

OK:

1) Kansas - Masque. Because it's simply great "Hard American Progressive Rock".

2) Yes - Tales from Topographic Oceans. It's 2 cd's and can offer more enjoyment still even yet now.

3) Marillion - Fugazi - it's prog with metal overtones and angry and weird and deep and complicated.

4) Thin Lizzy - Bad Reputation. Why? Why not? Do you want to fight?

5) Genesis - Trespass - because this is a simple as hell yet deep as the ocean album. Very very good stuff.

Regards,

Dave
