try as I might, I can't decide on just one to vote for anyone in this poll…

the former album had three votes and the latter only one, so I gave it to Future Days based on that.

If I could make a new voting, it might be Godbluff.

I thought it was a multiple choice poll, so I voted for Camel, but Caravan, Gong, Gentle Giant, Tangerine Dream, Magma, Orme and even Marillion would have got my vote. All albums that I own in vinyl
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

^ Yeah, I decided not to do multiple votes partially out of deference to Lewian before (who had concerns with it). And I do wish I had left off the "try as I might, I can't decide on just one to vote for" because it is the most popular option.. As usual, though, I'm more interested in looking at the posts than the poll results.
Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I observed before. It can be much like that with music for me; immersed in experiencing the moment.

Well, THAT didn't take long!

I immediately voted for Amon Duul's "Wolf City," one of my all-time favorite LPs!

Tough choices but in the end, the last, great album of the 'classic' prog era - Western Culture!

Hi,

For the longest time, "Wolf City" was my favorite AD2 album. The original LP, not the CD issued later, which had the sides of the album reversed, because "Surrounded by the Stars" had been noticed by many fans. Sadly, putting this song at the start, took away the wonderful order that the album had, and how it built up the strength, even with one experimental cut and a comedy cut on side one. Putting these on "Side 2" generally means no one is going to listen to the rest of the album anyway!

Since that time, when that happened, I lost a lot of my liking for "Wolf City" ... in its current state the whole thing does not sound as nice as the original version did, and this has caused me to take a look at "Yeti", "Dance of the Lemmings" and "Carnival in Babylon" ... which now are, my "favorite" AD2 albums, because of the courage it took to put them together and make them work. "Dance of the Lemmings" alone is a beauty that is hard to let go and leave behind. It's improvisational work is outstanding, and some of the lyrics are amazing ... though people here would never vote for "Mona Lisa you got a bird brain" ... or that something about "Tchaikovsky's hair", or even better, the line about the limousine (not giving it away!) ... that helped define the 3 albums as totally incredible.

The sign of how times change ... in a letter to the AD2 folks in their website, which for a long time DID NOT SHOW "Nada Moonshine #" at all, John W. replied to me and called the album "b*****d" ... and I presumed that there was some bad this or that about it, and then seeing them do a concert much later and doing various pieces from that album, pretty much tells you that it was the last "great" AD2 album. I call it "divine slime" ... and laugh folks that don't have the ears to listen to one of the most outrageous, different and special bands of all time. I suppose only FZ stands up here ... but AD2 very special creativity ... is best taken as crazy and insane, and in fact it is anything but that!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

At least six or seven albums I love here: In a glass house, Godbluff, Wolf city, Angel's egg, Contrappunti... GG has only one vote, so there it goes.

Please do what you are convinced is best for you, and only use what I say if you're convinced it makes sense. If I say things they're just my opinion; nobody needs to be bothered unless they're genuinely interested and think that they'd like to give it a try for their own reasons. "Deference" is not necessary.

^ I often hear people say, "it's just my opinion". Well, what matters to me is if it seems like a sensible (or sensible and informed) opinion, and I am more likely to adapt to those opinions if they convince me -- of course. My perspectives commonly shift due to my interactions with others. I really meant that I adapted to your concern partially because I respected your opinion and thought you made a sensible case for it. I am genuinely interested in people's opinions, I do try to take people's arguments into account, and often aim to please even when I seem to fail miserably, but I don't respect all opinions or consider all to the be equal. Deference may not be necessary, and I used the term to be slightly tongue-in-cheek but in a friendly way while indicating genuine respect, but I felt that the underlying respect was deserved (from my perspective).

Possibly, 

Can, VdGG and Henry Cow albums are most beautiful, but in this case I've chosen the Strawbs.
Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

Family's fifth album, Fearless, is beautiful.

And it's their most proggy album.

'For Girls Who Grow Plump in the Night' by Caravan I find is cruelly underrated.
