Step right up and name your favourite self-indulgent bombasters.

Focus and Emerson Lake and Palmer do it for me.

I would say Rush as well but they pretty much left it behind after Hemispheres which is a classic along with Farewell To Kings.


Ooop, forgot about Twisted Sister, Warrant and Sea Hags.

Gie's a bit of Pallas, Jethro Tull, and Kansas anytime. '2112' was the only decent album Rush ever did, and only half of that can be classed as Prog. ;)

I can throw in some Scraping Foetus Off The Wheels if you want, even if no-one else thinks they were Prog. :(

And Oi!! Don't diss the Sister! They weren't 'Glam' - they were 'Hid'!

I prefer my prog a bit more metalized...Zero Hour, dems d'boys...music for schizophrenics :lol:


As for Twisted Sister, back in the mid eighties before Metallica completely blew my mind Twisted Sister were my favourite band.

Sorry, but Genesis "Wind & Wuthering" & "Seconds Out" do it for me.

Also notable mention must also go to: ELP "Brain Salad Surgery", Mike Oldfield's "Ommadawn" & Rush's "Permanent Waves."

Oops! Did I forget to mention Genesis Too?

The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway's 'Supernatural Anaesthetist' has been playing in my head for over a week now. I'm not complaining though but my battery is running low!
