Gentle Giant and Yes are my two main bands, so it's rare you'll see me vote against either...
But in this case, VDGG takes the cake out of these selections.

Horn Parts by miles, then Space Ritual GG but cannot stand that camel dung Mirage. Appalling crap. Lester Bangs (an arsehole) infamously referred to ELP as war criminals. If that term was ever to be applied to any prog band then surely it would belong to Camel. |

Love all of these so I'll throw Space Ritual some love, always makes my list of best live albums and is probably the best example of the bands work.

Is Pawn Hearts my favourite prog album of all time...? It may be... If it were not the first, it would still very close to the first. Mirage is very good but it is far from Pawn Hearts. Three Friends (for me one of the worst of GG) and Space Ritual are very far.

Space Ritual for me. I love Mirage and Pawn hearts but 3 friends not my fave GG lp. But, no, I don't dance of pool tables or blow anyone's brains out with a 45 slug... F*** me how much more sh*t will we have to be exposed to..

Love Pawn Hearts, Mirage, and Three Friends, but Pawn Hearts is the greatest masterpiece of the three. Hawkwind doesn't do it for me.

I love camels but this specific one pales next to the mighty Pawn Hearts, hence my vote (and untied the poll - now leading by one)

Tough choice, but out of these, Came "Mirage" for me. Then VDGG, then that particular GG record (my fave prog band, but not my fave album of theirs).

VDGG because it's epic. Also, none of the rest have Fripp.

If I had to listen to one of these over and over....it would be Camel or Hawkwind....but the guitar work and playing is better on Camel even though the artwork and Stacia's exotic dancing make up for the lack of that.
(That's prolly why Micky likes it so much..that and the booze, etc...) ;) 3 Friends is one of my least favorite GG lp's and Pawn Hearts...while considered a 'masterpiece' by many..and does have some great playing....simply starts to annoy after repeated listens...mostly due to that weird singer they had. |
