Again, your channel getting me into a prog band I barely even knew about. Moonmadness is a strong contender for my favorite album of all time, and considering the only other record I think might be on the same level for me is OK Computer by Radiohead (maybe Duke by Genesis as well actually, for me it's prog but there's a lot of discussion about that), it is my favorite prog album of all time. I'll try to rate them: Camel (4/5, good debut) Mirage (4.5/5) Snow Goose (3.5/5, I can't deny it's a good record but the fact it's all instrumental makes up for a harder listen than other albums that may have one song or two that are just ok at best but still seems a bit more interesting to hear) Moonmadness (6/5 lol) Rain Dances (4/5, lineup change went unexpectedly well) Breathless (5/5, prog classics, pop songs that should be on the radio and, of course, Rainbow's End which makes me try to hold my tears back) ICSYHFH (4/5, underrated album) Nude (4.5/5, not 5 because of the same reasons as Snow Goose but the execution is a lot better IMO) Single Factor (2.5/5, final 2 songs might be my favorites Camel has ever done, but the rest is really inconsistent) Stationary Traveller (2.5/5, great side 1 for the most part, great closer, boring rest Dust and Dreams (2/5) Harbour of Tears (1.5/5 at the very very best) Rajaz (3/5, good return to form tho slightly overrated of an album) Nod & a Wink (4/5, weird album with a very specific mood and very few lyrics, but really good overall and easily their best since Nude)

Great albums I have them all And more

Nice job!

The one thing that hasn’t changed about CZcams over the years, is how triggered some people get in response to someone’s “worst”, “ best” or “ top 10” lists etc. - if you don’t like this list, just say so & make your own! Taking personal shots at someone over a list? Get a life bro. My god. What’s even worse is the ones that are most belligerent , are usually factually wrong. I’m no expert on music or Rush. But I was assigned as security detail on several of their tours, including 1991/92 RTB,Test For Echo 96/97 ( i was contracted for Counterparts Tour but my wife was hospitalized so I cancelled ) & Vapor Trails was my last tour with the band & The Rio concert was the most memorable event of my career. - I worked some landmark moments in my life ( US festival’83, Prince - Purple Rain tour’84/‘85, U2 Joshua Tree NA tour ‘87) but none had the raw energy that Rush in Rio had.

You lost me at 90125 being at 13! 😳 👎

I would maybe put Hammill's Silent Corner and Empty Stage as my #2 after Pawn Hearts!

Is it upset down?

2112-Moving Pictures and everything in between is pure gold.

I'm not very fwmiliar with KC post-Perfect Pair but the scippet of Construkction Of Light sounds like it's from the Discipline-era. For a band that's all about progressiveness, trying new things, that snippet sounds like a throwback.

Great ranking, and I need to hunt down a lot more Thin Lizzy albums ! 🤘🤠

Power to Believe over Discipline? I would rank Power dead last and Discipline second place :) However, thanks for the Video, very informative and fun.

The Snow Goose is the most perfect album anyone has ever recorded. All their albums are at least good, but most are absolutely excellent. The last 4 are well worth a listen as they are often overlooked. Rajaz is a masterpiece. The best prog band of all time for me.

❤❤❤❤

Rush............... Clockwork Angels in my opinion is not good ...........

It’s better to start with the collection of the three first charisma album as it is an easier introduction to the band. My start was afterwards on Aerosol that I bought in 73

I liked what one 70's critic said of VDGG 'Do not play near animals or children', now that would have been a good title for one of their live albums, or a boxed set release.... If you can look out for the live version of 'Mergyls III (the song writers guild)' live in Paris in 1976 from their 20 disc collected works-it is surely the definitive reading of the song.

To me, Free Hand is the best album. All tunes are good. In the others albums, there is always a couple of tracks bad. Rivers on octopus , second track on In a glass house. On Free Hand no need to fast forward your cassette tape deck! It is various and complete. But there is fantastic songs on the others album. But you have to lift the needle sometimes on the 33!!

Ranking The Piper as worse then Division...interesting. Ps; You're all over the place with your facts. But otherwise very enjoyable videos

Thank you for this video, as an ELO fan as you i really appreciate it (although i have to say Discovery is anything but a poor album!).

Fun to see all the different lists. After 90125 I can't name an album which I really liked. My top 5 list: 1. Going For The One 2. Close To The Edge 3. Fragile 4. Relayer 5. Drama

Whodunnit is nowhere near being the worst Genesis song ever.

Great list but Discipline has to be higher in my opinion.

Very Interesting comments, I went to a concert in 1973 thinking they were a great band, and came away thinking I’d underestimated them, it was brilliant!

My ratings after listening to their whole catalogue Self-Titled- 4/5 ATT- 3/5 3 Friends- 5/5 Octopus- 4/5 Glass House- 4/5 Power and Glory- 5/5 Free Hand- 5/5 Interview- 5/5 Missing Piece- 2/5 Giant for a Day- 2/5 Civilian- 6/5 and I’m not even joking when I say it’s my favorite album of theirs

The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is what separates Genesis from Yes or any of their contemporaries. The album is incomparable to anything else. I never understood why the band members of Genesis didn’t recognize that it was such a great accomplishment and would become one of the greatest masterpieces in Prog history. I really love Selling England by the Pound and Foxtrot. Listening to The Musical Box from Nursery Cryme was one of the most mind blowing moments in my life as far as music goes. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is absolutely on the top of my list. There is nothing else anything like it nor will there ever be.

the Phil-led 80s pop years get way too much hate, IMO. We Can't Dance, Invisible Touch, even Abacab - these are awesome albums! you can't hate on a band for evolving with the times while still remaining true to themselves, amiright? 1. Selling England - all the stars aligned and it all works (except "More Fool Me") 2. Foxtrot - epic and sweeping, not just for "Supper Ready" though that's enough 3. The Lamb - a mess, and the cracks in the group were showing, but great songs prevail 4. Duke - straddles the line between prog and pop, massively underrated 5. We Can't Dance - fell in love with Genesis in 1992 when I heard "Driving the Last Spike" 6. Invisible Touch - one of the greatest and most iconic albums of the entire 80s 7. Nursery Cryme - the first time it all clicked into place 8. Genesis - kinda scattershot; some is excellent, some the opposite 9. Wind & Wuthering - still finding their footing with Phil on vocals, but mostly strong effort 10. A Trick of the Tail - surprisingly good considering the shakeup of losing Gabriel 11. Abacab - experimenting with new sound textures that works around 50% of the time 12. And then There Were Three - the shakeup of losing Hackett caused a good but uneven album 13. Trespass - Genesis before they have a solid idea of what it means to be Genesis 14. Calling All Stations - Genesis after the heart and soul that made them Genesis has been sucked out 15. From Genesis to Revelation - pre-Genesis Genesis, or The Bee Gees-esis

All RUSH studio albums have merit. The ones I listen to least frequently would be Counterparts, Test for Echo, and Caress of Steel. The ones I listen to most frequently (entire album) are Moving Pictures, Clockwork Angels, and Permanent Waves. I used to not like Vapor Trails because I thought it sounded poor; however, the REMIX of that album makes it one I listen to fairly regularly.

Enjoyed your video thanks. I like things like this as it is interesting to hear the take of others on this amazing collection of work. ELO are my favourite band and I think Jeff Lynne is a genius. We come at it with different perspectives and likes, but overall a fair similarity between our thoughts, with a few exceptions. I enjoy all the albums, but for me "No Answer", Discovery and Balance of Power are the weakest. Above them I'd place ELO2, on the Third Day, Alone in the Universe and From out of Nowhere. My second top tier would include Zoom and Secret Messages, and finally at the top the big five: Eldorado, Face the Music, A New World Record, Out of the Blue, and Time. 😊

How tf does their debut album get bottom spot? Deluded.

I enjoyed this video. Here is my list: 1. The Piper at the Gates of Dawn 2. Dark Side of the Moon 3. Animals 4. A Saucerful of Secrets 5. The Wall 6. Wish You Were Here 7. Meddle 8. The Final Cut 9. Obscured by Clouds 10. Atom Heart Mother 11. More 12. Divsion Bell 13. Umagumma 14. Endless River 15. A Momentary Lapse of Reason

Good list but I’d move Thrak to 6 and Red to 1

I am tired of people shitting on Construction of Light. One of the better ones actually..

1.Topographic Oceans 2.Close to the Edge 3.The Yes Album 4.Fragile 5.Going for the One

Counterparts would be my number 1

Fair list, here’s my ranking!! 😀👍 1. “Abacab” (1981) 2. “Genesis” (1983) 3. “Duke” (1980) 4. “A Trick of the Tail” (1976) 5. “Selling England by the Pound” (1973) 6. “Foxtrot” (1972) 7. “Invisible Touch” (1986) 8. “Nursery Cryme” (1971) 9. “Wind and Wuthering” (1976) 10. “We Can’t Dance” (1991) 11. “The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway” (1974) 12. “…And Then There Were Three” (1978) 13. “Trespass” (1970) 14. “Calling All Stations” (1997) 15. “From Genesis to Revelation” (1969) Let me know what you think!! 😌👍

...its good and agreeable for me as an album rating... however, my way of listening has moved away from full albums towards play lists, and then it feels a bit distorted at times... example: the album 'Secret Messages' is rated by you 3 stars, which I agree to, but I love the title track and also Bluebird as outstanding - definitely in my 5 stars playlist... overall I think of album rankings being more valuable for the times, when albums had that ambition and concept to work as an album (and sure: some still have that today), but in my example 'Secret Messages' doesn't have that... same with e.g. 'Out of the Blue' - individual songs rate for me between 2 and 5 stars 😎

Tormato is the worst and Close to the edge is the best imho

I might be very much in the minority here, but as a flutist my very favorite Camel track is Elke off from their Rain Dances album

Lifelong Genesis fan, and found some of the other Genesis ranking lists on CZcams to come close, but no (have a) cigar. I think you nailed it. The Lamb must be#1, followed by Nursery Cryme & Foxtrot (these 2 are interchangeable for me).

I think "Roll the Bones" is underrated. "Caress of Steel" is heavily underrated. Hemispheres is my favorite. I like it best because it has a little of everything and is their most creative and technical in my opinion.

The band's 5 album run starting at CotC is insane!

Great list my friend. I know my order is a bit different, but that is what makes it so fun to hear other opinions. Thanks again. RIP: Neil 😔

16:16 If I’m not wrong, some parts of this song were used in Natural Science

Time is my all time favorite album

15 Ummagumma 14 The Piper at the Gates of Dawn 13 A Saucerful of Secrets 12 More 11 Atom Heart Mother 10 The Final Cut 9 The Endless River 8 Obscured by Clouds 7 A Momentary Lapse of Reason 6 The Wall 5 Meddle 4 The Dark Side of the Moon 3 Wish You Were Here 2 Animals 1 The Division Bell

Like or Dislike: Like. Solid ranking.
