The next 5 of my 60 chronologically ordered ‘bonus’ albums, classics not quite in my final list but impossible to ignore.
Category Archives: Top 52 Countdown
29. Van Der Graaf Generator – H to He, Who Am The Only One (1970)
The most melodic, emotional and accessible album from one of the great Prog acts. Hidden gem of a band with the ultimate hidden gem of a dark, doomy, but still lush, captivating work.
30. The Who – Who’s Next (1971)
The energy of the world’s most ferocious rock legends, but with the melody and production to match any masterpiece, and three of history’s greatest songs to boot.
31. Genesis – Nursery Cryme (1971)
The first true master album from the most melodic and colourful of all classic Prog bands. Folksy sweetness meets unbridled power meets absurd black comedy.
32. Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here (1975)
How do you follow one of the biggest behemoths of all time? Same crisp clean new production and universal thematic depth, but more brooding, patient and melancholy. Quintessential Pink Floyd and global classic.
