Wait don't tell me, you even have "In the Dead Of Night" by UK, right?

Man, I don't know too many other King Crimson fans. All good choices you've listed though dude, all good.

No, no. You're seeing a rule that's not there. Doesn't have to be your only choices. Doesn't even have to be your favorite choices.

Okay, okay, I'm thinking.

Let's see.... Missing Persons - Spring Session M.....no wait. The Go-Go's..... Uh uhn......Duran Duran....... Oh, I've got it! Men without Hats.....no, maybe I better not admit to that one, ummm........

OK, OK, I admit it --

In the Court of the Crimson King
Lark's Tongues in Aspic
Red

And while we're taking the road less travelled:

Velvet Underground - Peel Slowly and See
Patti Smith - Horses
Spirit - The Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus

I love time wasting like this!

U2 - Joshua Tree
They Might Be Giants - Flood
Paul Simon - Graceland
Tracy Chapman - Tracy Chapman
Arlo Guthrie - Hobo's Lullaby

Oops, that's 5...with a lot more possible, but none of these had been mentioned.

BTW - I love Selling England by the Pound - early Genesis w/Gabriel rocked.

Wow. I didn't think anyone else outside of Italy had hear of PFM.

I'd go with Strawbs: Hero & Heroine; or Grave New World
Renaissance: Scherezade or however you spell it.

Lark's Tongues in Aspic is a fabulous record, terrific cover, and one of the greatest album names of all time.

And, I've always wanted to write SOMETHING with the title "Book of Saturdays."

Are you kidding? I think there was a generally bemused response when people first found out that a band from Italy could put out a tune this good:

I agree with the first choice here; the others I like but don't associate with perfection. A few prog albums I do associate with perfection are:

Soft Machine — First
Soft Machine — Second
Soft Machine — Third
Caravan — In the Land of the Grey and Pink
