One of the easiest polls ever: the album that came closest to the edge of perfection vs. a good album with an undeniable historical value and therefore mistaken for a masterpiece.

Kind of interesting: One album launched the progressive genre into the mainstream and the other made most people hate it.

It was a Close to the Edge call for me, but I went for In the Court of the Crimson King in the end.

CTTE easily although KC brought the party and without it CTTE would never have happened.

Close to the Edge, though of course I love both, and I think these are the two most important / representative albums on prog.

CttE if only because of the nooddling in Moonchild on CotCK which brings that album down a little bit.

I'm a massive YES fan but even I'll say I feel like I see this poll like, seven times a year lol.
CTTE > everything on PA. How's that for a poll muthaf**kas?!

Put ItCotCK up against any album and I'll always go with KC. I doubt that the others wouldn't exist without it.
