Rick Wakeman Discography
The poster boy for progressive rock. Six Wives, Journey and King Arthur display prog rock at its best, and at its worst.

Marc Bolan and the electric Bob Dylan become the reference points for this Bowie brand reboot.
This is one of Elton’s heaviest and darkest albums, despite the light presence of “Tiny Dancer” and the perennial favorite, “Levon.”
A transitional and frequently sentimental record that features Bowie’s signature tune, “Changes.”
Loaded with leftovers from Velvet Underground, Lou Reed’s first is pretty eggcellent if not quite as electrifying as Transformer.
Wakeman’s first solo album is a fantastic, instrumental journey that brings the historical figures of Henry VIII’s six wives back to life again.
Great title, great cover, great album, lousy review from me the first time around.
Wow, this makes Tales From Topographic Oceans look like a study in self-restraint.
A better journey through the highlights of Arthurian legend, like his last album but without the narrative sections.
Wakeman scores and (briefly) stars in Ken Russell’s lurid vision of an early rock star. The Liszt you can do is listen.
As musicially adventurous as his earlier albums but conceptually tighter, as the English Rock Ensemble crystallizes around Wakeman’s far-out, new age theme.
Wakeman’s score to a film of the 1976 Winter Olympics is as cool as you’d expect.
A criminally underappreciated record from the once and future Yes keyboardist featuring crime-themed compositions.
The music of Rick Wakeman performed by The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra without a trace of irony. Phbbtt.
Orwell’s nightmarish vision of the future gets a spiffy new score from Wakeman and Tim Rice, with guest vocals from Chaka Khan.
