ten years after, I notice you're into progressive rock and not mentioned one Rush album, quite surprising.

This has been said before but the most important thing about musical taste is that it is not logical. For some reason i have never been able to get into Rush and I don't know what that reason is.

If you look over that list again you will notice that none of the albums are later than 1975.

This is not deliberate but pre-1976 prog has a very different flavour to later efforts of which Rush (starting with 2112 in 1976) were probably the best. Somehow it never quite worked for me (maybe because i turned 20 in that year).

Also, all but Caravanserai are by British bands. The transatlantic version of prog had a different character (as did most European prog).

Favourite albums hmmm okay in no particular order:

guNS n roses- appettite for destruction
Iron maiden- number of the beast
bIFFY CYLRO- puzzle
Green day- American idiot
HIM- Wings of a butter fly
rED HOT CHILI PEPPERS- Californication
" " " " - Stadium arcadium
Nirvana - Nevermind
MCR- Black parade
fALL OUT BOY- INFINITY On high

I've noticed that with Camel, although their 1st album came out in 1973.

I have a Rush album but its the Greatest Hits 1974-87. Quite like Subdivisions from the album and thats from 1983!
