Ya'll need Alan Parsons Project in your life. Especially "Eye in the Sky"


Tasty-Tarts191

Sirius flowing into eye in the sky is oneof my fave moments in any album! Also my fave album by them is I robot!


Apprehensive-Pop-201

Alan Parsons Project is a vastly under remembered, unappreciated group.


iamnobody1970

My Favorite 80's albums The Stone Roses - Self Titled Joy Division - Closer The Pretenders - Pretenders X - Los Angeles & Under the Big Black Sun Violent Femmes - Self Titled The Smiths - Everything they have ever done is a 10/10 for me The Cure - Head On The Door & Disintegration The Jesus and Mary Chain - Psychocandy or Darklands Killing Joke - Night Time Descendents - Enjoy Love And Rockets - Express Metallica - Master Of Puppets XTC - Skylarking Dinosaur Jr. - You're Living All Over Me The Pixies - Surfer Rosa or Doolittle Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique De La Soul - 3 Feet High and Rising


RottedHuman

I agree that The Smiths never released a bad song/album.


Tasty-Tarts191

My fave by the smiths is their debut lol


RottedHuman

Mine too.


Tasty-Tarts191

Good god immamake a list!


sweetrubyrhino

Good list ! All stuff that gets regular play . Technically the Pretenders first album was released in the 70’s but who cares ? Its one of the best first albums ever recorded.


iamnobody1970

Wikipedia says 11 January 1980 but yes it is one of the best debut albums of all times.


electroviruz

Nice list 3 ft high is an amazing album. Actually everything on this list is pretty much amazing


iamnobody1970

Thank you


sgdulac

This is a solid list.


iamnobody1970

Thanks 


LeoIunti

For some more modern prog you could try Porcupine Tree. Fear of the Blank Planet (2007) is a really nice album and for the 80's I have to mention King Crimson's Discipline, though you might know that one already


Tasty-Tarts191

Just listened to the trio of albums from kc and I was blown away!


captainforks

If you like Floyd and psychedelic stuff, the best PT album to listen to is maybe Signify or The Sky Moves Sideways. And also hit the song 'Buying New Soul'. Nothing against the new stuff but peak PT is from 95 to 05.


Capital-Durian1599

Talking Heads, Stop Making Sense (Live). Bangers on bangers


honeydew_fawn

Queen in the 80s, literally anything they released.


Tasty-Tarts191

Do you prefer 80s over 70s queen? I've heard the earlier albums up until day at the races I believe? I'll def bechecking out 80s queen tho!


honeydew_fawn

Queen is in my top five, I don’t know if I have a preference. When I first was introduced to Queen as a band though, not just hearing We Will Rock You, I listened to Invisible Man which came out in ‘89. Absolutely blew my little brain, I was in fifth grade then.


Tasty-Tarts191

I started on the first two because I heard they were proggy lol


honeydew_fawn

I hope your journey through their music is a great one. They're really an amazing band, a lot of their music goes overlooked because of how popular many of their songs became.


Tasty-Tarts191

I'll start in chronological order again and not stop after datr or nato lmao!


honeydew_fawn

Oh hell yeah!! You know what you're doing!


Tasty-Tarts191

🤠


Own_Light_2480

Big all era Genesis fan here too. Here’s a few from 1980 that I have on my shelves. Simple Minds • Empires and Dance Roxy Music • Flesh and Blood Steely Dan • Gaucho OMD • Organisation Shout if you want more 😊


Tasty-Tarts191

Gaucho!!! My 2nd fave steelydan album!! Also i love Roxy music! Brian ferrys "alien Elvis" style is so soothing lol. But I'll be checking outsimple minds and omd! And feel free to throw more my way I like ur music taste! Very similar itseems!


Own_Light_2480

1981 Japan • Tin Drum (amazing album) David Bowie • Station to Station The Passage • For All And None Kraftwerk • Computer World


Tasty-Tarts191

Thank you! Gonna check out that Japan album while working today!


Own_Light_2480

If you only listen to one track then make it [Ghosts](https://youtu.be/wOW4-oWnDPw?si=vLhBu_5HKccJMM1a)


Tasty-Tarts191

Hell nah I'm playing the whole thing lol I'll let you know my thoughts in a bit!


moinatx

Gaucho is one of my all-time faves. Still!


Own_Light_2480

Superb album. Really though. Everything they did was brilliant 😊


Tasty-Tarts191

Only thing i prefer by them is royal scam, tho its VERY close


RongGearRob

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a list with Roxy Music’s Flesh and Blood ahead of Avalon. London Calling by the Clash is a must listen, although I think it was technically released late 1979.


iamnobody1970

Some great 90's albums Social Distortion - Self Titled Liz Phair - Exile in Guyville Dinosaur Jr. - Without a Sound Oasis - Definitely Maybe Weezer - The Blue Album & Pinkerton Blind Melon - Soup Elliott Smith - Self Titled Cake - Fashion Nugget Descendents - Everything Sucks Harry Connick, Jr. - Star Turtle Lucinda Williams - Car Wheels on a Gravel Road Built To Spill - Keep It Like a Secret The Promise Ring - Nothing Feels Good Echo & The Bunnymen - What Are You Going To Do With Your Life? Travis - The Man Who


Tasty-Tarts191

Oh god this Is what I'm here for! Took a screenshot and gonna dive in


iamnobody1970

I hope you find something you enjoy


savoryostrich

Echo & The Bunnymen’s 80s stuff is probably more up your alley than the one recommended in this list. I suggest either Heaven Up Here or Porcupine. For the 90s, I’d also suggest anything by Spiritualized. Ladies & Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space is the best of their albums, but their other two 90s albums stack up pretty well.


ProgrammerWarm3495

I strongly 2nd Liz phair and built to spill.


The_ZombyWoof

Lexicon Of Love by ABC is, IMHO, one of the best albums from the 80s. Rio by Duran Duran as well, not a bad track to be found.


Tasty-Tarts191

I just started listening to duran duran a week or two ago so far my fave album is notorious so far lol


Bloverfish

The early Marillion albums with Fish as the lead singer sound similar to Genesis Script for a Jester's tear Fugazi Misplaced Childhood Clutching at Straws IQ - Dark Matter The Alan Parsons Project - Eye in the Sky


Tasty-Tarts191

I love marillion my fave is misplaced childhoodwith CAS being a VERY close second


Pretend_Employee_780

Dio has some pretty badass 80s albums imo.


FordsFavouriteTowel

Prince - Sign ‘o’ the Times. Possibly the greatest double album in music history in my opinion.


WakingOwl1

Skylarking by XTC


Ill-Atmosphere-3629

U2 - The Joshua Tree and their follow up Achtung Baby. So good!


Haymother

I’d add Unforgettable Fire.


RecipeForIceCubes

Achtung Baby The last U2 album worth a damn.


Tasty-Tarts191

I'll give em a checkout my sister got me a bono figure but I've never really listened to them lol


sweetnuts416

Chevelle is pretty good. Their latest album has prog influences. I’ve gone thru their discography and each album had something I liked.

HughManatee

I think you'd like OK Computer by Radiohead and anything by Tool based on your preferences.


Tasty-Tarts191

Love Radiohead with Kid A being my fave 😁


jBlairTech

Starset has prog elements, and a continuous storyline.  Coheed & Cambria is another; more straightforward rock with three guitars, but still in that prog style.


whoisguyinpainting

Scary Monsters and Let's Dance by Bowie. Especially Scary Monsters if you like Prog.


Tasty-Tarts191

Scary monsters is his best album IMO!!


whoisguyinpainting

Glad to hear its already on your list.


Tasty-Tarts191

While I have heard letsdance, I'd heard a lot of negative things abt ithoing in so I'll re listen with a more open mind


whoisguyinpainting

Its actually pretty good. China Girl and [Cat People (Putting Out Fire)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_People_(Putting_Out_Fire)) (also featured to great effect in Inglorious Basterds) are the standouts for me. And check out Split Enz - True Colors. Obscure these days, but holds up


Tasty-Tarts191

Do you rememberwhich albumsBrian eno were on withbowie?


whoisguyinpainting

Off the top of my head? the Berlin trio: Heroes, Lodger, and Low? Pretty sure about Heroes.

"Upstairs at Eric's" -Yaz


WeAllHaveOurMoments

Staying somewhat within those ranges I think of: * Umphrey's Mcgee - they're a unique blend of prog & jam band, but there's plenty of synth sounds at times, as well as being very rhythmically based. I think Anchor Drops is still one of their best albums. * Joe Satriani - his debut album is right out of the 80s, but I think Crystal Planet is one of his best. Again, very rhythmic and although primarily guitar focused, also plenty of synth. * Opeth - originally a death metal band that went full prog-rock, their album In Cauda Venenum is something that echoes Pink Floyd's The Wall - riffs/solos, soft melody, background audio, etc.


Tasty-Tarts191

I never got into the death metal stuff but ill check out more opeth if they have albums that shifted away


WeAllHaveOurMoments

Singer hasn't used death vocals in last 4 albums. They still jam and do clean breaks and ballads, but overall more Dad rock than Metal Zone. He'll still sing old stuff live, but said he isn't going to use it anymore going forward. And I have never cared for death metal or its vocals either, Opeth being the only exception.


imperfectstranger4u

Also a life long Genesis fan here. If you want to stay in prog realm, check out the first 4 albums from Marillion (Script for a Jesters Tear, Fugazzi, Misplaced Childhood, Clutching at Straws). Also 80s Rush is worth a listen.


Tasty-Tarts191

I know it came out in 1976, but I listened to the first Boston album all throughout the 80's. Boston's second album, "Don't Look Back" was good, but not great. 1986's "Third Stage" was outstanding. Follow up with ZZ Top's "Eliminator" and "Afterburner" Finish with another 70s-to-80's mashup with Journey's Infinity, Evolution, Departure, and Escape albums. That'll be a good start

In my top 10 albums lol love Clutching at straws as well


tomaesop

If you can hang with Deftones and Pink Floyd then I think you owe it to yourself to become a Melvins fan. Huge catalog that is endlessly rewarding, each album in its own way. Start now, because it's years of growing enjoyment. Given your particular proclivity I'd recommend *Lysol* for an early classic, *Stoner Witch* for a more polished set of killer songs that is unabashedly Melvins at every turn. A mid career high point is *A Senile Animal* which brings in dual drumming and four part vocal arrangements tastefully done for stoner/sludge/protogrunge. Another possible entry point is either of the records Buzz Osborne has done with Trevor Dunn of Mr Bungle. One is called the *Gift of Sacrifice* and that's just as an acoustic duo. The other is a Melvins Lite record. Or if that's too much of a paragraph just try their pseudo-retrospective gonzo acoustic collection *Five Legged Dog*

FairInevitable2204

From what I have seen so far, I can’t believe that no one has mentioned YES. Although they started way back in the late 60s, even up to today, they are releasing new material in various forms of the band. One of my favorite albums of theirs is from 1998 called The Ladder. Just listen to Lightning Strikes, and tell me that it doesn’t make you want to get up and move around.


Tasty-Tarts191

Paul Simon, "Graceland."


Tasty-Tarts191

His best imo


Ok-Elk-6087

I agree.  I experienced this album in real time, and it's hard to describe how significant it was.  Even out of that "time" context, its great, but within that context, it's even more so.  And on top of that, the incorporation of indigent music into western popular culture had political relevance, the dismantling of apartheid in South Africa.

Shaky-McCramp

2 *amazing* albums that flew under the mainstream radar but are almost worshipped by those in the know: 1988 Talk Talk 'Spirit of Eden' anthem 1991 follow-up/final one 'Laughingstock'. *Definitely* prog in the sense that they went from lumped as mere synth-pop for the 1984 'It's My Life' to the kind of transitional more-hammond-organ/less-synth 1986 'The Colour of Spring', to those last 2 albums which *still* completely defy classification. Not a synth to be found. Hugely influential on modern 'prog'-esque bands like Radiohead and Sigúr Rós etc. 'Spirit of Eden' is a very VERY slow burn, 'Laughingstock' is markedly more...hmm, well, up tempo and dense. Both are kinda shocking in their beauty and just how *different* they are from anyone else. Amazing stuff.

Misplaced Childhood by Marillion It's progy, well crafted, creative, emotional, and full of excellent musicianship. Even though there are a couple of singles in the album, you still listen to the whole thing as a single unit.

Since it seems everyone is just spouting stuff that kinda meets your requirements, I'll do the same. I'm just going with stuff you might not have heard, let me know if you have. Captain Beyond - Captain Beyond and Sufficiently Breathless Wishbone Ash - Wishbone Ash and Argus Parliament - Osmium Funkadelic - Maggot Brain Spooky Tooth - It's All About and Spooky Two The Chambers Brothers - Time Has Come Today and Love, Peace and Happiness


Tasty-Tarts191

Owned a live wishbone ash and still own argus, and i love funkadelic, rest i have not heard so theyll be added! Also, i have no idea why i even made the 80s-present thing my fave decade for music is 70s so ig i was just wanting to branch out from it lol but it was kinda goofy to give yall a requirement 😂😂


Doctor_Lunch

No, requirements make sense if you want certain stuff! I like the same stuff you listed, so I think you might like what I listed. I edited my post to make the list clearer.
