1 Planets-fine composing, mainly good recording 8.5/10
2 Time to turn-better recording and almost as good composing as planets 8.5/10
3 Silent cries and mighty echoes-some strong tracks, a couple of mild yawners, a couple of nice bonus tracks 8/10
4 Power and the passion-mutiny is one of the great prog songs, really solid album, nice short tracks too 8/10
5 Colours-consistently solid, nice bonus track 8/10
6 Dawn-Midnight fight awesome, solid album, a couple of mild yawners 8/10
7 Performance-some great and some not so great 7.5/10
8 Floating-pretty good album 7.5/10
9 Ocean-some strong moments but a few yawning moments 7/10
10 Inside-some good stuff, a bit raw in composition though 7/10
I do like your rankings although I've never had a problem with Metromania.
All time worst Eloy album has to be Ra. Now if you want to hear a really crap drum sound that has it in spadesTongue

I don't care for Eloy's earlier and later albums, but their mid period was great. My ranking goes something like this:

1  Planets
2  Silent Cries and Mighty Echoes
3  Colours
4  Ocean
5  Time to Turn
--
6  Performance
7  Metromania

Pretty much a three-way tie at the top, though.


P.S. I love Matziol's bass playing. He may not have been a virtuoso the likes of Squire and Lee, but... I love Matziol's bass playing.

Eloy are a band who really don't enthuse me that much generally; some of their stuff tends towards corny space rock.
 
But they're good musicians and they certainly never do anything to offend. I really like Time to Turn, so it gets my vote.
