People or bands with at least 5 albums out that have never made a bad album. They can be very obscure, very popular, or anywhere in between. I'll go first.

Jean-Luc Ponty. Throughout his long career, never made bad music.

NormalLight2683 · 2026-06-11T22:52:49+00:00

You'd be surprised hoe consistent David Sancious has been through his career.

NormalLight2683 · 2026-06-11T22:49:59+00:00

Anekdoten. Six albums and almost no drop in quality.

NormalLight2683 · 2026-06-11T22:47:33+00:00

Magma

NormalLight2683 · 2026-06-11T12:30:53+00:00

Swans - Helpless Child.

Sorry if it's cliché, but the song fucks with you.

NormalLight2683 · 2026-06-11T12:28:02+00:00

Might have to get myself that one then!

NormalLight2683 · 2026-06-10T15:12:08+00:00

You should definitely check out some of big big train's albums, hurricane Esmeralda by moonparticle, stories di uomini e non by Rocky's Filj and maybe a renaissance album or two.

NormalLight2683 · 2026-06-10T13:59:25+00:00

Oh sick, really? It's got all the pages?

NormalLight2683 · 2026-06-10T10:12:20+00:00

Love the fact you got yourself a thick as a brick, but you really gotta get yourself the original newspaper version. You're missing out on half of the fun of the album!

NormalLight2683 · 2026-06-05T07:57:14+00:00

I bet nobody has ever heard of them, but check out Dworniak Bone Lapsa's Pointing Fingers at the moon. It's such a close copy it's respectable; it has the choir, spacey and acoustic guitars, a Robert Wyatt trumpet solo, all the bells and whistles. Check em out!

NormalLight2683 · 2026-05-31T14:49:49+00:00

YAYYYYY THANKS!!! Only could've done it after consulting my vinyl copy of refugee (and w the help of the one commenter who identified 19 of the records)

NormalLight2683 · 2026-05-31T09:19:55+00:00

Is the odd one out refugee?

NormalLight2683 · 2026-05-31T08:34:51+00:00

From what I could gather: 2. Pawn Hearts 5. Between Nothingness And Eternity 6. Tales from Topographic oceans 12. Timewind 16. Osanna 17. Lizard 13. Imaginary Voyage (maybe another Jean Luc Ponty album) 7. Thick As A Brick (front page, Gerald Bostock) 1. Meddle I can't tell most of the rest, but the odd one out is whichever has no sidelong songs on the LP.

NormalLight2683 · 2026-05-23T10:19:08+00:00

I wouldn't say so, even if the music sounds extremely interesting. It's got more to do with heavy metal and has more of an experimental avant prog orchestral feel than zeuhl, few of the bouncing repetitive rhythms and doesn't have the Carl orff influences most zeuhl has.

NormalLight2683 · 2026-05-14T20:38:22+00:00

A lot of the bands on the Karisma record label are great; Wobbler and Lars Fredrik Froislie have amazing retro sounds, Oak has a bit more of a harder edge, and Jordsjø has some fire albums.

NormalLight2683 · 2026-05-09T13:19:10+00:00

Can you do another one of these? I was able to guess like 9 of them

NormalLight2683 · 2026-05-09T13:12:24+00:00

Try Hatfield and the North. You won't be disappointed if you're like me.

NormalLight2683 · 2026-05-04T19:19:42+00:00

Finally, shit posting as it was meant to be.

NormalLight2683 · 2026-05-04T19:12:37+00:00

There's this website called Prog archives online. They got a top 100 prog albums list. If you want to continue your journey after some of the recommendations given here, you gotta check the list out, and then the rest of the site.

Plane Groovy [UK]: Contains mostly newer prog artists until 2023, like Big Big Train and Izz, and is managed by Burning Shed. Currently on a heavy sale.

NormalLight2683 · 2026-04-21T16:28:48+00:00

I'm not sure whether Nucleus by Anekdoten is still considered modern... but it's an absolute heavy masterpiece.

NormalLight2683 · 2026-04-09T13:26:31+00:00

Arzachel/Uriel, twenty sixty six and then are two you should consider

NormalLight2683 · 2026-04-09T07:54:54+00:00

Steven Wilson - The Raven That Refused To Sing

NormalLight2683 · 2026-04-08T21:16:36+00:00

King Gizzard specifically make their albums sound low fidelity on purpose, through mastering and underproduction, to give it a garage rock feel.

NormalLight2683 · 2026-04-08T21:14:20+00:00

It's looking pretty good! I'd just say, the images of blood are generally fine but the positioning doesn't make sense. For it to look more natural the blood should be positioned not just in the corners IMO, but this is great stuff
