Has to be Spectral Mornings. It's hard to stomach having Jade Warrior in a poll and not voting for them, though. That would have been my second choice. I have more personal affection for Released and Floating World. |
I know the feeling; I have an incredibly soft spot for LAD, and I always like to support the band when I can. But we have to be honest with ourselves and our votes.

Wanted to say Relayer but have a huge, weighty respect for Moonmadness. A best effort from the original line-up.

Rainbow Rising holds a special place in my heart. Can't beat that 1-2 punch of 'Stargazer' and 'A Light in the Black.'

"Heavy Horses" was a woderful album in the hard times for progressive rock. Fine melodies, magic atmosphere.

Black Sabbath's Heaven and Hell is one of my Top 10 all-time favourite albums, so it should not come as a surprise if my vote goes to it. Anyway, BSS, Relayer, Rising, Heavy Horses and Live at Carnegie Hall are right behind it.

I was just jamming to Mob Rules in the car.....a pretty decent follow up. Seems to grow on me more all the time.

I could pick from Hemispheres, Heaven And Hell or Moonmadness, three incredible records that stand above the rest for me. Okay Relayer is right there for fourth but then there's a huge drop off.

Heaven and Hell is SO good, but Relayer is a clear winner for me.

About half of those are essential albums for me ..the other half not so much, but today I chose Moonmadness. I never tire of hearing that one.
