Which album do you prefer?

PFM Photos of Ghosts (1973) includes songs taken from Per un amico and Storia di un minuto + Old Rain.
So here I have chosen Per un amico.

Per Un Amico, a classic. 
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Having recently moved to Italy I should participate here (although RPI is not my strongest field).
I'm with Area by some distance!

I see London has changed to Italy, Lewian! Hope it goes well... Which part of Italia? Hope the wine is of a good standard!

Per un amico > Arbeit Macht Frei > Io son libero

The others are not even in the same league, in my gruff opinion.

I wanted to vote for Per Un Amico but when I saw that Felona e Sorona had no vote it broke my heart so I voted for Felona e Sorona, another good choice would be Zarathustra.

Wow, tough choice. I could go for any of the last three. I'll give Museo some love today...

hard to see Banco get bageled.. as that is my favorite album from them.. but come on man.. it is Felona e Sorona so an easy vote

and as long time forum forum members might remember.. the album is a source of one of the great unsolved prog mysteries ever.  Even went to the source.. asked Tony himself and even he couldn't answer it.

I’m not familiar with the Area album (I own a few from Crac! onwards) so I won’t cast my vote, BUT, it would be the Le Orme just over PFM.

I love all PFM through Jet Lag above all my other RPI albums so they get the vote, though from this list my 2nd fave is Felona e Sorona...

Though I do like some PFM, I just haven't been able to love them as most people around seem to do, so not Per un Amico. Banco is my faourite band of the bunch, but this is not my favourite from them, so not that one either. I really wasn't able to get into the Area album either. So, even though Le Orme hasn't clicked with me as so many seem to love them, Felona e Sorona in particular is one album I do love, and certainly the best one here overall. But the title Track in Zarathustra is so great it just blows any other song on any album from this poll, so I just don't know for which of both albums to vote.
