Argus is the third album by the rock band Wishbone Ash. It is the most popular Wishbone Ash album and widely considered the greatest. It was named "Album of the Year" in the 1972 year-end issue of Sounds Magazine. The album features a blend of progressive rock, folk, and heavy metal, and is considered a landmark album in the progression of twin-lead guitar harmonization later adopted by bands such as Iron Maiden and Umphrey's McGee.
With the success of Argus, the band also became one of the most popular live attractions of the day.
In 2002, Argus was remastered and expanded with 3 live tracks from the ep Live From Memphis promotional ep, recorded in the studios of WMC-FM
