Dark Side!!
I am currently digging:

Hawkwind, Rare Bird, Gong, Tangerine Dream, Khan, Iron Butterfly, and all things canterbury and hard-psych. I also love jazz!

Please drop me a message with album suggestions.

Very difficult to choose between Genesis & KC. I voted for LTIA because it needs some votes.

Amazing, what a year!
Except for A Passion Play, which I don't like, they're all straight masterpieces IMHO!
Dark Side Of The Moon is the winner for me.

These are all really good choices.  My favorite is Jethro Tull's Passion Play.  Perhaps the only time I would vote for Tull in this series of polls.  It's just head and shoulders above the rest of the Tull albums IMO.

Wow! I voted for Lark's Tongues in Aspic. It was hard not to vote for SEBTP, but it's an uneven album for me. I like all of Hackett's parts, though.

Brain Salad Surgery! I love TfTO, LTiA and APP, but BSS is the clear winner of 1973.

Kudos also to the guy who mentioned Renaissance's album.

I can't decide between the top three albums, I just can't.

This ---even though I love Tales ---Selling is a perfect masterpiece and Tales is an imperfect oneApprove

The rest of my list would look somewhat like this:

Selling England By The Pound
Lark's Tongue In Aspic
Tales From Topographic Oceans
A Passion Play
Dark Side of The Moon
Brain Salad Surgery

Yes, my choices are rather unorthodox. But then again, so isn't my taste Wink.
