Cool. Never have tried any of Steven Wilson's solo albums...have Porcupine Tree's "On the Sunday of Life" and "Sky Moves Sideways" and really like them both. Also have a few Anathema albums from the mid 90's but found them pretty hit or miss. Have the 1st 4 Kate Bush albums and they're mostly great (though I think Never For Ever doesn't match up so well with the other 3)...

Love the first few Gong albums (Camembert Electrique, Flying Teapot, Angels Egg, You) before Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth & Tim Blake left and they took a much more jazz oriented approach. Here's my all time fave Gong bit of insanity...Witches Song featuring the Good Witch Shakti Yoni (aka band co-founder Gilli Smyth who recently left us...RIP).

Another golden oldie, I saw the Groundhogs in about 1969 and then about 30 years later Tony McPhee was playing solo in a pub in Torquay, I got him to sign my copy of their first album.

PG2 is really an acquired taste for me and remains my least fave of his 1st 3...though I think Mother of Violence is one of his best songs ever Anyone here into Opeth and the unusual path they've taken to prog? They began as an outstanding 90's death/doom metal band but always had something more going on beneath. As time went on they began to shed the growling death vocals and got more proggy leading to 2003's mellotron filled Damnation. Nowadays they've completely left behind the growling death and doom and just play intricate and challenging prog. Whether growling or progging, I love The Mighty Opeth

I sold a Move lp to Mikael Ã…kerfeldt on ebay in about 2007, I don't know whether Steven Wilson still produces them, that might be why they dropped the death metal, they love Wilson's stuff.

Opeth are so highly rated in the Prog circles but I just hav`nt got into them (yet?) I did like that track though Which album should I try , to get me kick started into the band , d`you think It really depends on which Opeth you think you'd like 1) If we're talking the original heavy-doom-growling-monster-non-prog Opeth then 1997's Morningrise is my fave. 2) If you're looking for the totally clean vocal Opeth that most of today's prog fans (those that have zero interest in doom metal or growling vocals) are raving about, I'd start with 2011's Heritage then try 2014's Pale Communion. Damnation from 2003 (which the "In My Time of Need" video is from) is all clean vocal prog as well, but is very much toward the lighter side of the prog spectrum...no real heavy and dynamic riffs or sections like you'll find in Heritage. The quiet parts of Heritage actually remind me a lot of that early 90's, highly regarded Swedish prog band Anglagard. This is my fave song off Heritage to give a good idea of how they've moved on from doom to prog... 3) There are a few transitional albums where their songs mix clean & growling vocals along with doom metal & prog sections. These are the albums I like best as they demonstrate the tension of moving beyond doom/death into prog creating this unique hybrid. My fave album in this style would be Deliverance from 2002. The Deliverance song, "Masters Apprentices" below illustrates that transition/tension best. This crushing doom song morphs into a beautiful prog song around the 5:18 mark before returning to doomland around 7:30
