From that list I will 90125. Fantastic album, one of their best imo. A contraversial view I expect.. No Rush on the list.. otherwise I would probably have voted for Moving Pictures. No Tull either. Broadsword was a pretty good I thought..

I defnitely would have joined in on the Moving Pictures vote. I like the Floyd, Yes, Genesis and King Crimson albums. I am not that familiar with the Camel albums, and I have not heard the Eloy or Can albums. I kept my vote to a single vote and went with 90125.

Impossible for me to vote, as apart from the Can one that I havent heard, I greatly enjoy each and every one of these albums, even if they aren't aboslute favourites of mine. But endlessly melodic and very pleasant albums overall!

This. Although it was hard for me to vote against Abacab and Discipline, this is such a great album, it was the only real choice.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Any of Rush's output in the 80's would have been an automatic vote for me.
That aside, my three favs from this list are KC's Discipline and Three of a Perfect Pair, and Pink Floyd's Lapse of Reason. I haven't given Camel's 80's albums much listen yet, nor for Genesis or Yes either.

Floyd's Momentary Lapse of Reason sticks out as my favorite "sounding" album from this list. Although I'm a Genesis fan at hear, with Yes a close second, their 80's albums were too pop-centric for my taste (although their cassettes were in constant rotation on my car stereo).

Beat gets it for me, followed by Invisible Touch, Genesis, and Discipline.

Discipline without a speck of doubt, but this has been done too many times.

First vote for Big Generator. The production is pristine, with great songs. I don't understand the hate against this album! I find it stands the test of time much better than the gimmicky 90125.

A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

I miss Drama on the list. One of my favourite Yes albums. I'd have picked something by Rush or KC though.

I have every one of these albums, and Discipline is the only one I'd rate as a 5 star.

Discipline might be my favourite KC album in general. That.
