If you are revisiting ridiculous, epic prog rock albums, make sure you check out Rick Wakeman's Journey to the Centre of the Earth. It's totally brilliant. I remember seeing a live performance of it when I was like 10 on one of the late night rock programs and it was life changing. I thought Rick Wakeman, wearing a cape, standing surrounded by keyboards with a full orchestra behind him was the greatest thing ever (and I still kind of believe that 50 years later).
