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.

"Quicksilver Messenger Service - QMS". I'm with you on this one.  But which side?

Clearthinker - self-professed president of the "we don’t call it Corn, we call it Maize" School of Music Criticism......The "indie cred" is strong with this one. So "edgy". Next thing ya know, he’s going to announce he doesn’t like Phil Collins.....

clearthinker is right about different strokes for different folks. But if you don't like progressive rock, then what are you doing on this thread.

Each side of...

Yes - Relayer

...and honorable mention...

side 2 of Alan Parsons - Tales of Mystery.
