I based my vote on what I was listening to in 1969 and not on my opinion today.
Chicago Transit Authority just edged out Procol Harum.

BTW...The band name was Chicago Transit Authority until the real Chicago Transit Authority threatened to sue the band so the name was shortened to Chicago. Since initials were becoming popular they were also referred to as CTA.

4 Soft Machine

Don't like any of the others.

Me too (spinning TMR right now although I know it'll be difficult to sleep afterwards).

Y'all have a point!
 
I'm still giving it to the Cap, though...

High standard of competition, but only one album here that counts as a major artist's single most seminal work - so TMR it is.

I count three masterpieces here: Trout, Ummagumma and Vol 2. Also love me some god's penis as well as Valentyne Suite and Monster Movie. As for a final vote? Arhh you must be crazy!
I may just go eenie meenie miny moe.

Monster Movie followed by Phalus Dei and Ummagumma. A nice top three although I'd put In The Court.. and Hot Rats above them.Big smile

Colosseum Valentyne Suite followed by Phallus Dei  and Ummagumma. Really, many great albums. But, I love some Ummagumma once in a while, especially the music-less pieces!
