And of course, it has grown since this was done. This is not the entire collection, just the ones that are of a certain genre and are in highly playable condition.

Absolutely great collection John. And your music definitely matches the content of the video. Great stuff!

I do not see ASIA, MARILLION, RUSH..... But.... This is really a nice collection ... I Was hoping to find "danger Money" from UK, and GTR ephonimous album Kind Regards from México

Right there PFM Photos of Ghosts, ELP Brain Salad Surgery, Yes Topographic Oceans. Three immense Prog rock albums

Wow I had many of these on viynal. It was different then.. asking freida what so and so album eas like. .it seemed not many peple liked that type of music in 1980s

Great collection, but where are Camel, Caravan, Kayak, Supersister, Focus?

@@mikereiss4216 There is a follow up video - that no one watches - with more selections, but it is longer. Not really able to appreciate jazz / fusion / Prog or the Canterbury scene, but more bands like Focus and VDGG do make an appearance. A friend once brought John Goodsall over to do some recording - documented elsewhere on this you tube - and it was kind of awkward because I knew nothing of his fusion guitar work with Brand X.

Very nice collection! You're a man of culture

Excellent collection! Thanks for sharing 😊

Some great albums in there the good old days when music was music be nice to see some camel nectar and Tony Banks 👍

Una valiosa colección de la crema y nata de rock progresivo y en discos de Vinyl. Cuídalos.

Thank you for sharing that. It was so much fun to discover that, with the exception of the two Ambrosia albums, I had every single album that you showed here, in my collection :-) Good memories... those were the days... :-)

Great collection!!! Kind regards from México

Very nice collection! So much great music😊

Nice collection. Might I suggest Lamb Lies Down In Broadway, Trick Of The Tail (Genesis). Recycled, Magic Is A Child (Nektar). Song For America; Masque (Kansas).

Nektar Remember the Future

Nice collection and trip down memory lane, Cheers from Canada

Superba collezione di dischi,dove eccellono i vinili dei Genesis

I just discovered your channel...Wow ,great prog rock...your play took me back so many years.

Some real gems in there! I have most of those too! No matter what you have, some folk will always wonder why you don't have some specific favorite of their's. Even record stores which stock thousands of titles often don't have "the one" I'm looking for on that day! I think your collection of vinyl is solid! You do you!

Nice collection...

very interesting for having the albums in chronological order.

..Excelente video!!!..Me emocionó y hasta me excitó ver tantas JOYAS MUSICALES (álbums) de vinil, yo tengo algunos de ellos y en vinil...Felicidades John!!!

All great records!!!

Nice to see Wakeman in there. Not many seem to have his work in their collections.

A definitive prog collection be be proud. No "Asia" though or Peter Banks, "Flash"....also I wouldn't class Deep Purple as Prog necessarily. Great collection 10/10

My favorites here: Gentle Giant & King Crimson, but all the other records amazing too!

Um espetáculo sua coleção John, parabéns,saúdo desde Bahia Brasil

Nice collection

I need Court Of The Crimson king so much. Such a great record. Red as well. Some Rush, Gentle Giant, early Genesis would be cool too

AAAWWWEEESSSOOOMMMEEE!!! Que envidia

Amazing jewels!!!!

I have so many of those, but my old ass still has a lot of catching up to do. Very satisfying seeing the Bruford, UK and King Crimson.

Yesemite Sam thanks. I also still have the original shredded spine copies. A few years ago I got on a kick to upgrade them with all the 180 gram reissues that are available, and clean originals you can sometimes still find in record stores. A few of the originals cannot be adequately replaced really, the Breakfast in America by Super Tramp and Glass House by Gentle Giant sound best with original issues, in my opinion.

Every classic and essential album? Affirmative.

Awesome. You even have Ambrosia. Great

Not having them in alphabetical order would drive me mad!

Goooood!!!!

Love king crimson Very much some brilliant albums Very like my collection.😀

Thanks! Yes these are the basics. I have a lot more Prog records, but these are the first ones I got new copies of when I could afford it. I was a Deep Purple fan for Book of Talesien, and the Concerto which included classical musicians. I found this kind of music interesting, we did not use “Prog” at that time. Now it is referred to as psych / Prog by others but I still frame this music together as just the type of music I was interested in. That’s it, I just liked it.

Marvellous spread of music, rather a few more Purple and Crimson than my collection but surprised no VDGG, Camel, Brand X or Banco.

I have those PFM albums also! They are great. Unfortunately I don’t seem to enjoy anything else they released. Such a shame

Ah...A great stroll down memory lane. Some timeless gems here! But sadly very small spectrum of bands represented, More of a small collection of discographies of a few chosen bands.

@ProgRockKeys

That’s a fair and accurate assessment, pretty much sums up my history as a music fan. I would always tell people, I only like about 9 or 10 bands, but I like them a lot. I think it’s another autism spectrum thing.

I’d love to own ‘Octopus ‘ but can’t find it anywhere!

That was cool. I have 31 albums.

I thought I had the only McDonald and Giles album in existence.

Where's Rush stuff?

Crikey, thought I was going through my own LP collection for a moment. Great choices, Mr. Clancy but, where was Minstrel in the Gallery? :) Cheers. PS: Very nice original compositions.

No Crime of the century??? Buy it!

Great collection. I have most of them, but not the Gentle Giant, liked 'em but didn't buy the albums back in the day. And my interest in Deep Purple was only in their early work, they went metal. Have you listened to the eponymous album Touch? A U. S. band that put out one album in early 1969, side two of the album is genius, side one is just listenable ;)

I have Essential Classic Rock Collection and many more videos great album Jethro Tull, Deep Purple , Uriah Heep all the music I listen too

Deep purple started off as a prog rock band ( first 3 albums ) but ritchie blackmore wanted to go in a heavier direction after hearing led zeppelin so brought in screaming vocalist Ian Gillian and bass player roger Glover and the famous mark 2 line up was born. Along with zeppelin and sabbath famously pioneerd hard rock / metal.

@ProgRockKeys

Well, the first thing Mark II did was the ground breaking concerto. And they remained Prog all the way through, including the latest release, not just because of the prominent full time keyboards missing in the dryer / duller Sabbath and more blues oriented Zeppelin, but also because of the more musical Blackmore and now Morse lead guitar melodies, and more colorful scales. My opinion, of course, based on real time experience and observation at the time. Even the popular Highway Star includes solo sections crafted in much greater musical detail and complexity than anything from those other two bands. Deep Purple was Heavy Prog, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. :)

Thanks for that comment! That's actually me playing the piano, the singer is one Joe Murphy from Australia. Joe wrote the vocal to accompany my original instrumental piano piece. Instrumental music is from "Harmless Melodies for Piano, Vol II" by Clancy. Maybe about 20 seconds of the piano music was actually written by my best friend in High School, Philo Cramer, who would go on to play lead guitar for the LA punk band Fear. I think he did it as an exercise in our High School music theory class. :)

Concur, don't think of Deep Purple as prog, and like wise the first two Tull albums, but their later work makes the inclusion okay. There a lot of bands that people argue about whether to include in prog such as The Moody Blues and Procol Harum. If you're a fan of those bands then you think they're prog. I find it odd that he has Breakfast in America but not Crime of the Century. Now that is a crime! He includes Black Sabbath, but they defined another genre: Heavy Metal.

Sicuramente i migliori Deep purple i migliori Black Sabbath i migliori led Zeppelin e i migliori Huriah heep ma aggiungerei anche i Cream ed altri che apparentemente da molti non vengono etichettati come prog In realtà erano bands curiose ed eclettiche che avevano voglia di sperimentare e quindi avevano un attitudine prog e ci aggiungerei perfino i Queen che nel loro glam Hard rock trovavano anche modo di sperimentare es eclatanti Bohemian Rhapsody o Innuendo Love of my life Killer Queen

First Yes album good one. Im boring and like the US cousins stuff Moby Grape, Kaleidoscope, Jefferson Airplane Grateful Dead and the Mothers

no Rush?

In order of release

I have 94%

Sorry it took 3 years ,lol....But I would of started with Procol harum.....I went to a concert in NYC ...Yes,opened up for King Crimson the head liner was Procol Harum....just saying.

Not much into prog, per se, at all. But, surprised myself upon listening to the self-titled (debut?) album by Camel for the first time, recently. Before that, nothing by them had appealed to me. I'm assuming that Greenslade doesn't appeal to you? I like their first two albums plus his first solo, Cactus Choir.

Piano music was good. I have around half of these in the video. Never liked King Crimson. I'm 68, so I tend to listen more to non-rock in recent years.
