I'll get around to an alternative poll soon, but let's see how the big ones fare...

THRAK easily. Excellent album
The rest are pretty mediocre IMO. Division Bell maybe three stars at a push, but all fairly un-exciting and not really very progressive.

Thrak hands down. Love High Hopes off The Division Bell but the remainder of the album feels like an ad for valium zzzzzzz.
Haven't heard the others except for a few tune here and there but nothing that grabbed me enough to track down a copy.

After all the great music produced by the Big 6 it is shocking how bad most of these really are.
THRAK. In a big way. Division Bell is okay. The rest are putrid.

What a delightful selection. I'll go with the much-maligned 'Eyes just to be special.

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

KC, JT, and PF are the only ones of this list worth listening to.
KC for me.

I like the Division Bell quite a bit, so it got my vote. The Crims did quite well, too. Tull put out one that was pretty good. I actually like Open Your Eyes but understand all the flak it gets. Genesis and ELP misfired though.
