Criteria:

1. Albums that are outside of the mainstream areas (Yes, Genesis, Spock's Beard, Flower Kings, etc.) These can be from any country, any time period, etc.

2. Must be relatively devoid of clunkers, no throwaway tracks.

3. International albums are encouraged (obviously)

and last but not least

4. These albums should be your "favorite albums that no one knows about." Go ahead and share!


Lamour, while your list passes the first 3 criteria (and I whole-heartedly agree that the bands/albums you list are great), I think it definitely fails #4 except for Il Berlione. I think the other bands that you list are very familiar to most fans of progressive rock.
