Out of the ones I know, it's Myths and Legends, easily. One of my favourite albums overall. And Wakeman is my favourite solo artist of the bunch (one of the responsibles of me getting into prog, even before I knew prog existed as a genre / sub-genre).

I did Chris Squire-Fish out of Water... But had this been different, I would've loved to pick Mike Rutherford's Smallcreep's Day.  For some reason I just LOVE that album.  Speaks to me, I guess.
listen to streaming stuff! no commercials!

Don’t have Gabriel’a or Squire’s, but heard them. The rest is a very strong selection - I’m going to go with Olias. That one is 45 minutes in another world !!

Voted Spectral Mornings. I don't think of Bill Bruford's first two Earthworks albums as Yes/Genesis solo albums but if they qualified, I'd probably chose one of them.

Voted for Bill Bruford - One of a Kind, one of my all-time favourite albums.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

'Melt' for me - though why did Wakeman get three entries and Gabriel only one?

It's Squire's Fish', man. I am surprised Gabriel's second album isn't here to round out things a little (I don't endorse referring to his albums by those silly little nicknames; so preciously twee).

I admit I had a problem with Peter. I could've axed one of Rick's albums, but they are all getting some votes and perhaps are closer to consensual 'progressive rock' sound.

The other reason was deciding on just one LP from Gabriel's career. Posters in this thread asked for either 2nd album (let's say "Scratch") or "Last Temptation", while Progarchives has his 4th album ("Security") very high. Personally, I really enjoy his debut ("Car") and non-progressive "So". So yes, it's hard to pick one, especially with artist somewhere on progressive music/world music/pop borders.

But everyone loves "Melt", as I do, so I thought this is a no-brainer.
