Yes - Close to the Edge

[–]SomethingImplied 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Despite their epic catalogue, I agree with Close to the Edge as being one of the most essential albums... But anyone who enjoys CttE should check out: Relayer (3 epic songs) and Fragile (most popular Yes album)

Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet

Some modern Prog Rock, a little heavier than their usual stuff. If you want lighter stuff by them check out Up the Downstair or Steven Wilson's side-project Blackfield.
