Does prog get any better after this point?
I've listened several underrated/obscure prog albums from the 70s, but none of them can achieve the same quality and feeling that CTTE has.
Am I missing something or prog just doesn't get this good again?
Does prog get any better after this point?

Prog is a meme genre.
Juan Harris
I’m in the same exact boat as you, user
I don’t think it does but that doesn’t mean the lesser known proggers aren’t worth listening to
Brayden Cox
red is way better
Christopher Cruz
Supper's Ready > Close to the Edge (the song)
Grayson Green
Red is my favorite album of all time, but it really doesn't showcase what prog is about.
Landon Garcia
thick as a brick is the true prog masterpiece, though close to the edge is also brililant
Nolan Ross
This album is the best
Evan Flores
generally prog is cheesy and uninteresting. there's some absolute masterpieces from yes and jethro tull and the like but if it doesn't click beyond this album it probably won't
Isaiah Myers
Try King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard's Polygondwanaland.
I'm very familiar with prog music, and this is without a doubt one of the best examples of modern prog, if not one of my top 10 examples of all time prog
Lincoln Turner
Its the peak of symphonic prog, depends where you want to go from here.
Lucas Stewart
if you dig Pink Floyd, then Camel is a great second-tier group. Andy Latimer's vocals and guitar-style are both reminiscent of Gilmour
Eloy is a very overlooked prog/space rock group from Germany, and their best album Ocean is a must
Jose Anderson
Yes
Easton Roberts
Have you listened to this? It's the best prog album of the 70s.
Ryan Collins
Check out Canterbury Scene stuff like Caravan, Soft Machine and Gong.
Owen Cook
close to the edge blows suppers ready out of the water. its not even close my dude
Aiden Rogers
i don't think any one album can showcase what all "progressive rock" is about. CTTE does 'symphonic' prog perfectly, but that's it.
Benjamin Young
Pawn Hearts
Jason Perez
Check out Nektar's first 3 album
Jason Richardson
Fucking based
Thomas Walker

Josiah Perry
Starless deserves a little better than that, surely.
Josiah Martinez
>Tarkus on the same level as Bel Air and CttE
>Tarkus above anything on Third
Otherwise it's a good list
Nathaniel Gray
If you don't mind serious cheese check out Neal Morse and his various bands. IMO he's put out more minutes of good prog than just about any other artist (eg. his most recent work is a 4hr double-double album based on Pilgrim's Progress).
James Rogers
That's a funny way to spell A Passion Play
Kevin Ortiz
A majority of my taste is prog. From the most part it can't compete with CTTE but there are definitely some competitors. These are Jethro Tull, Genesis and ELP (Emerson, Lake and Palmer). CTTE is good but you are putting it on a pedestal.
Jaxon Campbell
>Meme Theater on par with 70s prog
Easton Barnes
are you literally me? though CTTE is my all time favourite album
Sebastian Watson
YES! Prog gets way better. Close to the Edge is a masterpiece. However, 70s prog is much bigger than this. You got your canterbury prog with the soft machine, egg, national health. You got RIO boys like henry cow. You got the prog jazz fusion like mahavishnu. The canterbury scene is my personal favorite subgenre.
Brandon Ortiz
this, but it's not really in the same style as prog
Brody Bailey
Zappa made the best prog
Joseph Murphy
it looks kinda memey, if these are your favourites you must be listening to prog for 1-2 years
Easton Thompson
This post? Not based. Not one bit.
