well, it is non-metal, isn't it? There are some albums that go beyond rock music.

Thumbed it up for the prog in the list.

Good to see Gentle Giant get appreciation here, they are such an underrated progressive rock band, and good to see Selling England By The Pound that's one of my favourites too, classic Genesis, they were best under Peter Gabriel

Well, technically First Light (2007) is the first Wishbone Ash album recorded in 1970. I prefer it to Pilgrimage quite a lot and a little bit to S/T. These are all great albums though
