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.
33. Yes – Fragile (1971)
Another core Prog classic, but with massive mainstream crossover love. Short solo experiments breaking up legendary Yes-defining epics.
34. Emerson, Lake & Palmer – Tarkus (1971)
A seminal golden era Prog classic. One half mighty, supreme legendary epic, one half light, pleasant, ELP fun revue.
50. Van Der Graaf Generator – Pawn Hearts (1971)
The densest and darkest album from Prog’s Kings of the dense and the dark. Mostly impenetrable but beautiful, with periodic outbreaks of utter madness.
