^ I'm a pretty big fan of their first three records but Sommerabend is my favourite.

Univers Zero > TD, Talk Talk, Shub Niggurath

Revolver gets the nod.

EDIT: And I really like Colour of Spring, I was not paying close enough attention. Revolver is another particular fave of mine. I also like that Miriodor and the Zappa and the Celeste. I had a friend who was huge on Iron Maiden in the 80s, but I never got into them. And Prog or not, these are what I have listed as my top three per those years. 1966: Simon and Garfunkel - Sounds of Silence, The Byrds' Fifth Dimension, Ennio Morricone - Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo 1976: Geinoh Yamashirogumi - Osorezan / Dou no Kenbai, Cos - Viva Boma, Picchio dal Pozzo - Picchio dal Pozzo 1986: The Camberwell Now - The Ghost Trade, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Your Funeral...My Trial, Siouxsie and The Banshees - Tinderbox Looking forward to later polls, 1996 and 2016 are two of my favourite years.

Thanks Greg. And for the companion poll. I'm really surprised to see Stratosfear doing this well. Pleasantly surprised.

Eloy

I go for Shub-Niggurath, but could have been Zappa or TD or Eloy or even Beatles

This poll is not weak at all. Revolver and Stratosfear are currently leading, so I don't start thinking about voting for them, but otherwise I would. Heatwave and Sommerabend are both without a vote and I'd love throwing them one, but The Colour of Spring is one of these albums against which to vote will be seriously painful, so I won't not vote for it.

This time easy choice for me:

Tangerine Dream - Stratosfear

I think I might have missed the earlier polls, but plenty of albums here I love enough to make this a difficult choice. I landed on All Seing Eye. Less popular and more difficult/abstract than Juju & Speak No Evil. But it might be my favorite of his. The sheer sound of it is just incredible. And that line up in 1965 (when it was recorded) couldn't do no wrong. A top ten would look something like this:

Wayne Shorter-The All Seeing Eye
Talk Talk-The Colour Of Spring
Tangerine Dream-Stratosfear
The Beatles-Revolver
Shub Niggurath-Les Morts Vont Vite
Frank Zappa-Freak Out
Celeste-Principe Di Un Giorno
Novalis-Sommerabend
Univers Zero-Heatwave      
The Who-A Quick One

The Beatles > TD > Talk Talk > The Who
