Here's the one I've selected, great prog rock album from the early eighties, a band who are no longer together and whose pinnacle I believe was reached through this album.

Fact and fiction ---- Twelfth Night --- 1982
Here's the Wiki article for background
Fact and Fiction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's an album that's pretty much bookended by two epics, the opener "We are sane", which runs for 10:27, and the not-quite-closer "Creepshow", which hits almost the twelve minute mark, coming in at 11:57. There are other good tracks too --- in fact, I wouldn't really rate any of the tracks as bad --- but these two I believe portray the best this album has to offer.

Interested to hear what you think. Let's give it two weeks, to allow everyone time to hear the album and formulate a view on it, and we'll all meet back here to discuss it.

Anyone who can't get the album and needs a link, PM me.

Oh, and I also reviewed it in my journal, if you want some more inspiration...

Last chance saloon? Saddle up, prog pardners!
I'll listen to it in the next few days. I understand that giving people 2 weeks is good, but it also drags things out too much and the thread can lose focus, but I'll leave it to you as you're the boss here.
