Death has no bad albums.

You held up my favorite Rush record, #4 on my all time favorite album list. Thanks!!! And Sparks is interesting. I agree 100% about them pretty much having a perfect discography.

Great show! Only other one I could think of off the top of my head would be Riverside--8 albums, all gems IMHO! One more album, and Pattern-Seeking Animals is headed for this list! Oh, wait, Transatlantic!!! Looking forward to Sunday's live feed. We LOVE ELO here at Prog Radio. (Even rhymes! =)

I'm a Canadian and although they're not prog, The Tragically Hip are much loved here, and they never made a stinker over 20 plus years. So consistently great. King Crimson is a fine call at #1, especially with said lineup and musical direction changes, that takes some serious talent to pull off! Glad I got to see them in 1981 in Toronto touring Discipline.

Sean Lennon plays King Crimson with Les Claypool in the Claypool Lennon Delirium. He also has the good taste to play with Greg Saunier.

Great list Scot .I just thanks Scott purchased my first Van Der Graaf Album H to He thanks to you and so far i am loving it............. King Crimson rules.

your content is fire. open to all kinds of music, knowledgeable and confident as f, got my sub

Gotta love that album cover sitting over your left shoulder. Thanks man!

Love the Sparks recognition. Finally got to see them back in 2018, they were still brilliant with Russell in his late 60s and Ron in to his 70s.

Great video Scot, you always teach me about some new music. I do wanna say Steely Dan deserves an honorable mention at the very least. Also, give Union another shot! I didn’t like it at all at first, but I came to love it

You da man, Scotty!!!!! The FLOWER KINGS are perfect, my brother. Thanks so much. Holla at me sometime. Glad to see your great KZfaq success.

If it wasn't for a couple of bad apples YES would have certainly made the list!🤩

Steely Dan is always the first band I think of when thinking of perfect discography

Nice video Scot! Agree with your choices. I will add Talking Heads, but that is just me😅

Your right, in through the out door while not being their best is still a great album and I am glad to see you not hating on it like most

I thought you were a loonie...but actually you are spot on...!!! New watcher here, now. Thx !

I could be wrong but I would say CAN, Kraftwerk and Robert Wyatt are contenders.

Great list Scott! And I'm loving the Pavement attention. For me I'd say Voïvod never put out a bad album, it's all interesting to me. They also have a 7 album run of classics IMO (a select club that is!)

King crimson absolutely! Every single album is awesome. Great video! 👍

Yay, ✨SPARKS✨!!!

Blue Oyster Cult, Kate Bush, Opeth, Faith No More, Swans, Deftones.

Awesome video, next video you should rank all the magma albums

Thanks for pointing me to Sparks and XTC, I like these bands but don't know their album work, so good to start. King Krimson was on my list as nr.1 too although I don't like Earthbound for the sound, and Beatles is indeed difficult to judge, but it's a great band. Maybe Dutch proggers Sky Architect (no bad ones there). Great vid..

Steely Dan, Riverside, Flower Kings 💯 Big Big Train. I'd like to say Glass Hammer, but I'm not so sure about Arise.

Does it count if I suggest Bon Scott era AC/DC?

Thanks for drawing attention to Sparks.

Do you enjoy The Fall? I love them. Kinda like experimental punk rock. They don’t sound like Wire at all but are usually in the same category. They remind me of Pere Ubu whom I also love

I absolutely agree with you Scot! King Crimson and XTC - forever!

King’s X has always put out consistently great albums.

the new mix of holidays in eden would change your mind it did mine , nice sparks always great stuff

Your respect for VDGG made me like and suscribe. And yes Do Not Disturb is a masterpiece.

For me "Transatlantic" is in the list. A great hug (Like we say in Argentina). Peace.

So nice to see #9, and I totally agree. Some albums are better than others but none of them are terrible. Beatles would be number one for me!

I'd definitely have to include Ozric Tentacles as having not a bad album. With Jethro Tull, you're right, Catfish Rising has to be their dullest effort. A far cry from my GOAT, A Passion Play.

Supertramp have never let me down!

Love that you have Todd Rundgren’s Utopia in the background. Glad to see XTC on the list.

Sparks has 25 albums and they are ALL good? Hmmm I'll have to check them out. That's insane.

The Beatles….Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix are the only artist I can think of that haven’t had a bad album. Sure there might 3 or 4 weak songs in their catalogue but nothing that adds up to a bad album release. For whatever reason people, even fans of Zeppelin, shit on “In Through the Outdoor” but it’s honestly a solid release. It has everything that makes Zeppelin great…. it so diversified. It has a ….rock song….a hard rock song….a blues song….a love song…..a prog song…..and even a country song!! It also has some exciting Jimmy solos and some great drumming by Bonham. It’s their mature album and I love it….along with the album art work! It’s their 8th masterpiece in a row. Great episode! Cheers ✌️

LMFAO Yesss yesterday was soo chilly omg I was freezing my ass off

Great video. I have never heard about The band Nemo. i am going to check them out

Great choices. Led Zeppelin and The Beatles were the first two that came to my mind. Blue Öyster Cult is one for me. Some albums may be 'weaker,' but there's no such thing as a boring Blue Öyster Cult album. I would even choose the band you're about to do, E.L.O. I have no problems with any of their albums, and I love albums like Time and the now double album Secret Messages.

No way! I didn’t know you liked Sparks! Nice to meet another fan and hope to see a ranking episode someday. Also, King Gizzard don’t have any bad albums, theg don’t have any “good” albums, because they’re all great albums.

Scott, I quite like Giant for a Day. It contains well crafted songs, just not many weird time signatures. I really like the title track, Take Me and It's Only Goodbye.

The band Riverside, all thier albums blow most of these bands in the dust! 💥💪👊

Lynyrd Skynyrd has a very solid catalog. Especially pre plane crash.

Thanks for mentioning Sparks and Talk Talk, two of my favourite bands. Not many people talk about them.

Really was waiting for Transatlantic. 5 beautiful albums!

Great idea for a video and good selections ... not sure about Coda though ;-)

Certainly not prog, but three musicians who were on the top of their game; The Police.

Some prog metal bands that never put out a bad album would be: Mastodon Gojira Haken Tool And Ne Obliviscaris will probably qualify once they put out one more album. I’d love to say Opeth but for me their only bad album is their debut, Orchid.

Great list, my friend. I include the great Killing Joke.

i thought I was the only person in the world who loves both XTC AND Rush! Nice to see there are others...

The Jam

Speaking of perfect, I don't think you've ever put out a bad video. I've enjoyed every one I've ever watched. Must be the toque, eh?

Agree that in through the out door is quite a good zep album even though I can do without the long candelabra instrumental.

Great list.

Totally agree, thanks for highlighting In through the Out Door, love that album

Yay, 🥁RUSH🥁!!!

In the Neo Prog Corner I think IQ. And ARENA have terrific discographies. No blemishes I feel.

I agree with VDGG. I even love their ALT album

Great to see Sparks and XTC getting a mention

Scottie, did you say Taylor Swift?? Her first album is forgettable, and her current album is self indulgent trash. 😮

With you on XTC there. Phenomenal band.

Hmm. Haven't ever heard anything of or from the Flower Kings. Otherwise - no objections. Yet, a lot missed out (mentioned below in tonnes), but this is a *personal* list, right!? Out to look for the Flower Kings stuff now, GL!

King Crimson, XTC, Vanda Graaf, Sparks, Rush, Beatles. My choice the Stranglers! 👍Brilliant choices! Well done Scot!

Instead of another dude just talking about top albums.. or some dim talk about what's "better".. this video is actually a cool idea and thoughtfully laid out.

Supertramp - Cheap Trick - Moody Blues - Cats in Space - The Knack - Sweet - ELO

The Police were impeccable

Porcupine Tree for sure, IF you can get past their first album, that LSD soaked popsicle Sunday.

Tears for Fears- All their albums are near perfect! Maybe the most consistently great artist in my lifetime. Dream Theater- Some albums are better than others but no bad albums. I love The Astonishing! SHUT UP! Big Big Train- Sure they got much better after their early albums but even the early albums are decent. Steely Dan- Can’t go wrong with The Dan! Pat Metheny Group- Ok so maybe a bad solo album but all of the Group albums are really good.

Cool video! Now I’m stealing your idea. 😉

Great list! I'd nominate Transatlantic as a perfect discography.

I’d add Peter Gabriel

This question is completely off-topic, but have you heard the Czesław Niemen album Enigmatic? It’s one of my favorite lesser known prog albums. I’m relatively new to the channel, so I don’t know if you’ve discussed it before.

Send the chill EAST ! On the other hand, no mention of "Hold Your Fire" but it is assumed you like that too...COOL !

Good to see Sparks here.

I am still in your debt for bringing Nemo to my attention. Progarchives lists them as Eclectic Prog, but I hear a lot of neo-prog in their records.

Great list! The Doors (with Jim Morrison), Steely Dan, Radiohead, and The Smiths would make my top ten.

Off the top of my head, I'm gonna champion Cult of Luna, Enslaved (16 albums, ALL amazing!!), Moon Safari, Protest the Hero, and Riverside!

FIVE ALBUMS?? JETHRO TULL. Stand Up, Benefit, Aqualung, Thick as a Brick, Living in the Past, Minstrel in the Gallery. Done.

27 Sparks albums, and every one is great! Even the Beatles can't make that claim. No disrespect intended.

I love XTC. Even their demos that didn't make it to their studio albums are better than most bands' entire discography. I read where someone said that most bands wish that their best song could be as good as XTC's worst song.

I knew King Crimson would be Number 1, even before I watched the video! I just know you too well, Scot! Which I am in absolute agreement with you on btw. Great list. God Save The King!🤪

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="306">5:06</a> Scott I love "In Through the Out Door"...some great songwriting and Jimmy plays some awesome solos. Never understood the hate.

COHEED AND CAMBRIA! Ps this was a great video that I really liked! Even though I hate rush (I’m from Canada and rush gets shoved down my throat and it makes me like them even less 😩)keep up the good work Pps Deftones

Want to get into Sparks can anyone recommend an album to start with

Good call about Rush! Dream Theater should easily be on this list. The Astonishing, yes they tried something different so get over it, it's amazing! Very melodic prog concept album with some of James Labrie's finest work! 💫 Btw, I also love Union by Yes.

What about Dregs, Kansas, Steve Hackett and Brand X?

Sticking with prog, probably my 2 top bands that have the most consistent top level albums are Riverside and Porcupine Tree. I think King Crimson fits the bill with some of my favourite albums and no bad albums, but for me they have their stronger and weaker albums. From the albums I've heard from Camel I think they fit the bill too, but I haven't heard all their latest albums and I don't think they are as strong as their earlier albums. I think Gabriel's solo album collection is solid and so is Hackett's. Not your headline prog band but I like all of Stick Men's albums, and TuNer too, though they only have a couple so far. Hopefully more to come. If we are going to include fusion jazz in this discussion, I'd include Alain Caron, Al Di Meola, Brand X, Mahavishnu Orchestra, and Simon Phillips Protocol,. This list could be expanded if we consider bands will less than 4 albums. For example Bill Bruford.

Threshold are remarkably consistent. I wasn’t that taken with their Legends of the Shires double concept album, but it’s not bad. All the others are very good to excellent.

the final cut could have been better, but I still thinks its awesome

Love SPARKS!!! Some of their later albums are fantastic.

Pretty good list

Wobbler, VDGG, King Crimson, all brilliant albums. Here are some of the bands that I consider have perfect discography: Anekdoten, Krokofant, Elephant9, Il Bacio Della Medusa, French TV, Accordo Dei Contrari, Forgas Band Phenomena, Ghost Rhythms, October Equus, Gösta Berlings Saga. Cheers and all the best.

TOOL is my #1, of course!

I would have cut out gbv from my list too but not beacause of sandbox. Its probably the most underrated album i have in my collection. I love it!!! Come on, long distance man and i certainly hope not. Wow, what amazing songs! Sure, the entire album took some listening to before i got into it but man, im happy i did. And id like to add system of a down. Five albums, all amazing!

Angel In Heavy Syrup released 4 albums. All are excellent

Big wreck should be on this list and I agree in through the out door is one of my favourites

Nice list, not quite agree with IQ, love the 2 Menel albums but I guess it is timeline being an eighties kid. They got me into prog.

Good list. One act I'd add is Radiohead...since The King of Limbs has gotten better with age. Pablo Honey keeps them off many lists, but I appreciate the rawness of their early style. Just wish they put out MORE albums.
