What makes this so significant? I loved it of course, but how/why does this stand so tall 46 years later?
It does.

Right, but why?
>>60491965
The quality of the music.
I think too much of 69 has been repeated and beat until the horse is dead - resurreected then beat to death again. This sound stands on an island.

ersatz shit
>>60491982
But what about it?
>>60491965
Its considered the first prog album because it fused the "high" concept of jazz and the popular format, rock (21st Century Schizoid Man, Moonchild) as well as pop with classical, or rather more simply progressive stylings (Epitaph, I Talk to the Wind, Court of the Crimson King).
>>60491946
why can't you tell just by listening to it?

I'm glad you liked it, OP.
I just don't see why this place is so obsessed with dissecting and authenticate/validate everything. Leave that cynical narrative to P4k/fangtano.
Could it be as simple as it sounds good, perhaps? :-)
