Hmm. I've heard some Skaldowie but not sure which album(s). I'll check out the sample but can't see them taking my vote away from Egg.

Gnidrolog easily, even if Lady Lake is the better album.

Listened to Skaldowie, I think I heard one of their other albums. It was enjoyable but Egg wins for me.

Right, this is an easy one.
It is not because Uriah Heep and Gnidrolog don't have any quality (they surely have)...
And Skaldowie has great drums and indeed a lovely early 1970's style cover...
But The Polite Force by Egg is one of my two most important musical discoveries of the last five years (the other being the Maxophone eponymous).

I love Polite Force, it's probably in my top 10 albums by any band anytime. It is a true prog delight, an absolutely wonderful mind blowing album!
