but if you had used the original Italian language version of that album, Per Un Amico, rather than its English counterpart, I would vote for it in a heartbeat. As it is I'm afraid Gentle Giant is what I would rather listen to.


That's the album that introduced PFM to us Brits...

Fair enough. I'm young enough that I had the internet to help me get into prog, so I went straight to the original version. I've heard Photos once while I was shopping in my local record store. As great as the music is, it felt very off because of the English lyrics and the slight tracklist discrepancy. I imagine a lot of folks on the forum are similarly partial to Per Un Amico as that's what they heard first like myself. But if you heard Photos first, I imagine it's quite the opposite way around, where Per Un Amico sounds off.

Anyway like I was saying I'm not going to tell you how to make your polls.
Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

No biggie, but I'm sure I wouldn't have voted for Octopus sung in italian either (or maybe I would have:) + I wasn't around when Photos was released in the UK, and I'm not english - or italian.

Congratulations to Italy!  Well deserved winners in the end - and well represented by that brilliant album, 'Photos of Ghost' by PFM.
