 | In the Court of the Crimson King by King Crimson
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £5.89 Quite possibly the most startling and original debut album of all time.
|
 | Unrest by Henry Cow
Buy new: £11.98 / Used from: £6.50 Brilliant and unsettling, not for the feint-hearted. An ideal antidote to overly trite wishy-washy music of any description.
|
 | Moving Waves by Focus
Buy new: £11.98 / Used from: £9.94 A fantastic blend of classical, rock and jazz influences from this one-of-a-kind Dutch band.
|
 | Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Buy new: £5.88 / Used from: £3.94 Fantasic electonica that knocks J M Jarre into a cocked hat.
|
 | The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway by Genesis
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £13.11 Hard to believe a bunch of guys in their mid-20s could record something this complex. Sadly not brilliantly recorded by the standards of the era.
|
 | The Yes Album by Yes
Buy new: £6.78 / Used from: £3.11 Well there had to be a Yes album here somewhere! Their first with Steve Howe but retaining the grinding Hammond organ playing of Tony Kaye.
|
 | McDonald & Giles by McDonald & Giles
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £15.28 King Crimson spin-off. Melodic jazz and folk-tinged prog. An overlooked masterpiece.
|
 | A Trick Of The Tail by Genesis
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £15.98 In which the four-man Genesis shake off the departure of Peter Gabriel and produce a superbly recorded 'comeback' album.
|
 | Meddle by Pink Floyd
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.00 Worth buying for 'Echoes' alone as side one's more patchy.
|
 | Red by King Crimson
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £5.50 In a sense, the album that brought the 'classic' prog era to a close. Nearly everything after was second-rate.
