Many have asked for a glimpse of our Master List. So, about once a month, I'll try to post updates as we accept more recommendations to be added to the list. 

Of course, there are selections that are not on this list that may come our way that may make it onto the YT or Patreon episodes ahead of songs on this list. But, this is generally what we're working from. 

Over on our Discord, we have a recommendations portal. This is where I do the bulk of my 'list maintenance' adding selections supported by the community. If you're not connected with our Discord, make sure you connect to our growing and vibrant Discord community today! There are instructions in the community welcome video.

As always, thanks for your support!

Nice list. But if you’re going to do Tuesday afternoon by Moody Blues, you should do the entire Days of Future Past album. It was recorded with a full orchestra, and should be right up your alley

Peter Franken

Great list with many songs I have not heard yet. Hopefully we get the Duke suite from Genesis sometime in the future.

Øyvind Rønningstad

The Light is a Spock's Beard song, I couldn't find that Transatlantic has played it. It's a fantastic song though ☺️. There's also Looking for the Light by Transatlantic, which I haven't heard.

Cory Loomis

Please don’t do a turtle in the clouds by phish - def do divided sky or lizards instead

Douglas W Gann

It's April 20th. It's time for Ween. The Mollusk is a bizarre prog masterpiece.

Juan Ignacio Quesada

Arena's Opera Fanatica (and many others from Arena) is missing on that list.

Göran Wallby

You have to add something from Karmakanic: Who’s the boss in the factory

Thanks for sharing, why can't we all suggest 3 albums and 3 songs each? Some good stuff on here but the ones I would choose 1) Fish - Empire of the Suns 2) Peter Hammill - The Silent Corner, the Empty Stage 3) Todd Rundgren - A Wizard, A True Star for example

Itsfun2listen

For clarification, I wouldn’t have chosen the Marillion or Pink Floyd songs or albums. It feels like the important factor is oddity rather than quality

Len Bimeal

alot of good stuff on the list but really you have done alot of dream theatre iron maiden yes genesis elp ane i love all of them so how about a week or 2 of new artists alan holdsworth would be great echolyn would be great some camel great band from scotland pallas just a thought

Jim Reeves

How might I ask this nicely Doug? EPICA, EPICA, EPICA! Need some symphonic metal on this list please! Simone will stir the heartstrings! Kingdom of Heaven part 3 would be a wonderful choice!

How come nobody has recommended Rhapsody of Fire. That would be such a good fit. So, Doug I would like you to react to Rhapsody - Emerald Sword

As an extended play. Yes: Magnification

Awesome, some Al Stewart :D

ELP's self-titled album contains one of the archetypal progressive songs, "Take a Pebble."

Wade Markham

I wish you guys had some Italian Prog bands like Le Orme, PFM on the list.

If you're gonna do Tool - 10,000 days as a single song, you have to do Wings for Marie first. They are part one and part two

Thord Sandström

No list is completed without Jethro Tull's Minstrel in the gallery from 1975, either the song or the entire album. May I also suggest Rush's A farewell to kings. I think you would find those interesting! Cheers!

I'm worried that it'll be a long time before we hear a BE reaction because POS isn't popular enough to win a poll against the other artists in the Extended Play Lounge category. Kind of like how he hasn't revisited them after King of Loss because that reaction didn't get a lot of views, even though he really enjoyed the song. It's a shame because I think Doug is in a unique position to give great perspective on both the music and subject matter of BE.

Okay. Super glad you have The Ninth Wave on there. That's one of the best pieces of music ever written. Here's a wonderful and unique song from an artist not on the list. How about Sufjan Stevens - "The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades is Out to Get Us"

Dave Cohen

Glad to see you've got the Carnegie Hall live version of Ashes are Burning on the list/. Looking forward to seeing your reaction. Annie's vocals on that will simply blow you away.

Rita Cronise

A humble bow to close the show My heartfelt thanks before I go When the curtain falls I'll fade away We'll meet again in a magic glade Alan Parsons, "As Lights Fall."
