Top Ten Progressive Rock Albums That Should Be Made Into Movies

The Top Ten
1 2112 - Rush

Seriously why isn't this a movie yet?

2 The Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd

Great album, but I don't see how you could make a movie out of it

They need Jim Carrey to play Syd Barrett

3 Selling England by the Pound - Genesis
4 Clockwork Angels - Rush

They made a book, so that's cool

5 Lamb Lies Down On Broadway - Genesis

I think it's simple - so odd and deep album need odd and deep film.

The story for this Album is pretty messed up...

6 Snow - Spock's Beard
7 Animals - Pink Floyd

You could count Animal Farm as it's film.

8 Aqualung - Jethro Tull
9 Thick As a Brick - Jethro Tull

It's not a story though... It's more of a commentary.

10 Scheherazade and Other Stories - Renaissance
The Contenders
11 Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory - Dream Theater

Make this happen and I will fanboy the hell out of it.

Have it be directed by David Fincher!

12 The Astonishing - Dream Theater
13 Operation: Mindcrime - Queensryche

It's between this and "Ziggy Stardust" by David Bowie. They are the albums with greatest plot. Also "The Wall" has incredible concept, but it would be hard to change it fully into film, there are too many symbols and surreality in that one.
by the way. what is doing "Dark Side of the Moon" in the top. This is awesome album, but it couldn't be converted in good film.

14 The Final Cut - Pink Floyd
15 Every Good Boy Deserves Favour - The Moody Blues
16 Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd

The price of fame could be a very interesting idea for a movie

17 Ok Computer - Radiohead
18 Tales from Topographic Oceans - Yes
19 To Our Children's Children's Children - The Moody Blues
20 Seventh Sojourn - The Moody Blues
21 De-Loused In the Comatorium - The Mars Volta

Just imagine the psychedelic nightmare of a movie this would be

22 Temple of Shadows - Angra
23 Deadwing - Porcupine Tree

Steven Wilson originally wrote Deadwing as a screenplay, then later made in into an album with Porcupine Tree. But the movie has yet to be released.

24 Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence - Dream Theater
25 Crack the Skye - Mastodon
