I'd go for King Crimson circa Lark's Tongues In Aspic (off this list) - it's a shame that no good quality live recordings exist with Jamie Muir on percussion. All 5 musicians were remarkable players at the top of their form, and the interplay between them seemed telepathic. Outside of the list, I'd go for Magma circa MDK/Kontharkhosz.

Back to the poll. I think that, musician by musician, Yes (the Fragile Yes) has the best line-up, the best man in every instrument. Ok, maybe no the very best, but the aggregation of performers was the best, in my humble opinion.

Just a bit of fun, buddyEmbarrassed

Might be an idea to select a country from "your location" in the Profile Editor.
