[Krakatau]

Allan Holdsworth-Hard Hat Area
Allan Holdsworth-16 Men of Tain
Miles Davis-Bitches Brew
Vai-Passion and Warfare
Hellborg/Lane-Abstract Logic

Nice choices with the Holdsworth there... I have 16 Men of Tain on the way in the mail right now. I always thought Abstract Logic was kind of under rated compared to other Hellborg albums.

Yngwie Malmsteen - Rising Force
Warmen - Unknown Soldier or Beyond Abilities
Allan Holdsworth - Secrets
Tony MacAlpine - Evolution (atm... he has too many good albums)
Jens Johansson - Fission

If I keep going then it would include some Hellborg, Lane, Vai, Meola, CAB, etc.

 

[AutumnGust]

Camel - The Snow Goose

 

[theVikingR]

Buckethead - Electric Tears
Neil Zaza - Melodica
Jason Becker - Perpetual Burn
Guthrie Govan - Erotic Cakes
Shawn Lane - Powers of Ten

in any order

 

[progmetaldan]

Planet X- Moonbabies
Tony MacAlpine- Evolution
John Petrucci- Suspended Animation
Jason Becker- Perpetual Burn
Vinnie Moore- Time Odyssey

 

[shanky]

Camel - The Snow Goose

+1 on the Camel. Brilliant prog rock album.

 

[mark b]

Planet X- Moonbabies
Tony MacAlpine- Evolution
John Petrucci- Suspended Animation
Jason Becker- Perpetual Burn
Vinnie Moore- Time Odyssey

My Macalpine album would be MAXIMUM SECURITY

 

[progmetaldan]

The only thing I don't like about the album is that the songs are so short...

My faves though would be Evolution, and Chromaticity probably when I actually get it...

 

[Ascension]

Anomaly - S/T

Maximum Indifference - The Transmutations of Supposed Angels: or Beings That Were Once Girls

 

[DoomsdayZach]

Allan Holdsworth-16 Men of Tain

I red something about a mantrain. Oh well, there goes wishful thinking again...

i'm surprised no one mentioned MJR's solo album... unless AGX did, but i can't see what he wrote... he's on ignore

 

[Ayreon Guardian X]

you really are an asshole, you know that?

PLANET X (moonbabies)

After having heard both albums really, really often and intensive, I prefer Universe a lot.

so...

1) Planet X - Universe
2) Djangology
3) Allan Holdsworth-Secrets
4) Anglagard-Hybris
5) Dysrhytmia-Pretest (but No Interference is also great)

and many others...
