Top 5 "Classic" Prog albums

[black max]

No, we don't want to start that chestnut rolling again. But it's too bad we can't come up with a term better than "prog." Dave Grisman calls his stuff "dawg music." That works for me.

Djam Karet is a major find for anyone who appreciates guitar-driven, uh, prog music. "Burning the Hard City" is one of my favorites along with "The Devouring," "Reflections from the Firepool," and others. The Live at Orion disc is very good, a terrifically clean mix, and a great place to start for people who are curious to find out what DK is all about. I'm slightly less taken with their last two albums, from what I've heard, but I know DK well enough to know that if I give the new stuff a chance, it'll grow on me.
