Best progressive rock album side


My intent is to seek albums which I may not own from the recommendations of you all. I ranked best sides of progressive rock albums on vinyl that I own and came up with the following list. I don't want it to undermine anything else that an artist has created. I love it all but as far as start to finish on one side this is what I came up with.

#1: Supper's Ready

#2: Terrapin Station

#3: Atom Heart Mother

#4 The Court of the King Crimson

#5 Echoes

Of course there are many more. Some may not be complete sides like Atom Heart Mother but the intent of the artisan was to make it a complete side. I had a very hard time deciding between #1 and #2. Both are very worthy in my mind.

One person mentions “modern bands”.

As for the rest, they prove that “audiophiles” are dudes in their 60s or 70s who believe that music peaked 40 years ago on major labels. Or are they stick bass players who think that Tony Levin is the height of taste and skill?

How many hZ/kHz of hearing have they lost? Did they ever have taste?

If I was 25 and interested in audio, I’d just buy a soundbar and stream Spotify from my phone after reading this thread.

Aren’t 90% of copies of Brothers In Arms owned by people who like good recordings more than they like good music?
