Dark Matter or Doomsday Afternoon. Very tough decision. Camel had me until I saw those two.
|
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Gandalff,
I don't get this poll: Qualifiers are supposed to be in the top three overall rated per year, minimum 100 ratings, yet four on your list from which we are to vote includes seven albums who are outside their year's Top 3!?!?!?
"10,000 Days" (#9), "A Nod and A Wink" (#9), "Dark Matter" (#11), "Bridge Across Forever" (#7), Coyote" (#17), "Deadwing" (#9), and "Fear of a Blank Planet" (#5).

It was a ploy to see who was paying attention.

10,000 Days, Bridge Across Forever, Deadwing, and Doomsday Afternoon are all 5 star albums IMO, but I have to go with 10,000 Days. The title track on that is one of the most powerful songs, for me, that I've ever heard.

Please don't mix ratings from PA reviewers and voting on Basic Rounds of this tournament here. Results are diametrically different.
