Gentle Giant's my favourite of these, but I voted for Caravan since it's a pretty darn good runner-up.

The Jethro Tull track sends shivers up my spine.

I've always loved that IQ track , probably the best off Are You Sitting Comfortably?. Paul Menel always had such a great way with words. The Gentle Giant track is weirdly quite rambling for them and too 'floaty' for my liking. I much prefer their 1973-1976 output. Don't know the other tracks.

Nothing bad about the others, but can't go past the best of these which is clearly the Gentle Giant.

How about including Echoes in the poll? Since the original working titles for the song as it was developed was "Nothing" (parts 1, 2, etc), and then "The Return of the sons of nothing".

All three are very good tracks, but I'm going for IQ. I may be the only human alive who really likes the two Paul Menel albums. |
No, you're definitely not, I love them! They were my first IQ albums and I adore them. So IQ gets my vote here. Don't know the others anyway. Must try me some Gentle Giant...

Voted Tull ahead of GG and Caravan - never cared for IQ. Loved that period of folky Tull.
