Easily Thick as a Brick - although 1972' albums are all so representative.

TAAB, CTTE and Foxtrot, in that order.

Wow only three of my top 10 are on here. My number one is Il Balletto Di Bronzo's Ys since it's not here I went with Close To The Edge over Foxtrot. 
This was the year RPI blew up really good.

Man, I HATE these polls! Too many good things to choose!!!
Have to go with Foxtrot, with CTTE and TAAB tied for second.
Welcome to the middle of the film.

PFM - Storia for me.
These polls are not really fair. You vote for the one you know and who doesn't know Yes/Genesis/Jethro Tull/Crimson?
Fairly certain that some people would vote differently if they had ventured out beyond the confines of Britain.

I most certainly agree with you. Britain has produced some of the best prog in the world but some of it is really overpraised and all the international regional scenes are something different altogether. But alas, we just have to let democracy take its course.

Or, perhaps, like me you own the PFM and Banco releases in question and think they are fine albums. But in this poll, I simply have a preference for what I consider better albums.

Close to the Edge/Thick as a Brick > Foxtrot.

Brick and Edge are two mastperieces, brilliant from beginning to end. Hard to pick one since both are in my top 3 or 4 prog albums. I'll vote for Brick since it has fewer votes.

Both PFM albums are equal to me but I had to pick one so I voted for Per Un Amico.

I picked Close To The Edge for this one but Octopus, Space Shanty and the two PFM albums are all excellent.
