Next up.  Poll #19.  One vote, top 2 vote getters move on to 2nd round to face each other. Vote for the album people.. not the group. If you don't know the album, ask, google, youtube it. Lots of great music here man...

good God man.. yes...  this was a completely random draw.  Here we have. .the SOLO album section... and perhaps the first baggled album of the tournament LOL

From Genesis we have..

Hackett!



From Yes we have..

Squire!!!



from Yes again we have

Wakeman!!



and lastly we have.. from Germany..

poor Lucifer's Friend LOL

So difficult to vote against Hackett's Voyage, it was the first Prog LP that I bought, in a time when there were no CDs at all.

no reason to hang on to this vote. .as expected Hackett will run away with this.. so the vote is for 2nd

giving it to Squire. The best of the 4 albums by a long ways.. in performance and composition...even though Genesis fan won't admit it.

Thumbs Up

well are are far superior to Hackett.. good vote! Clap Decent album..  he only got better IMO.. Wakeman and Squire hit it out of the park on those albums, but never really got better IMO.

Hackett. Not bothered by those Squire and Wakeman albums and found Banquet to be rather mediocre.

Felt that I might as well give it to Banquet. Some great solo outings, the rest of them.

I'm getting the funny feeling those Twelfth Night and Pallas albums might get goose egged yet. Wink

Banquet's a great album, didn't want it to meet the same fate!

oh no.. neo-fan is around.. and likely lurking.. soon to pounce...they'd never let that infamy happen to their priides and joys LOL

part pride.. part not wanting to give me even more ammo to trash Neo-prog with. I'd never let their fans live this down. LOL

Hacket's playing was always pretty damn good but I've always felt the vocals on his solo stuff let him down. This is the only one of these that I have listened to recently.

Fish out of Water, liked it never loved it.

Wakeman, I always really wanted to like his solo stuff but while Henry has its moments I stopped listening to him after Journey and Arthur.

Banquet I quite liked but it sounds, he said, stating the bleeding obvious, somewhat dated.

Wanted to vote for the underdog but have to go Hackett.
