I know that some call TBOEF "The Battle of Effing Forest", but I really like that song; it is the 2nd best on the album (after "Firth of Fifth")

Doesn't necessary mean the song is weak. It could just be a song you don't like as much as the rest of the album.

That's a tough question since I'm not sure what my single favorite prog album is.......there are a handful I like equally.
For the sake of the thread...I'll go with ITCOTCK by KC, and say Moonchild is my 'least favorite'.

Siberian Khatru / Close to the Edge
More Fool Me / Selling England by the Pound Good shouts... But khatru is still v.good. more fool me is a candidate for the worst track by a major prog band before 1977... |

I'm a Crimson fan so there aren't many tracks by them I don't like...I like Moonchild...but it just happens to be my 'least favorite' on an album full of great material. That was the OP's intent...I believe.  |

It's too hard to pick a favorite album, I usually try to avoid doing that because I love too many albums and it would be too hard to pick an all time favorite. I think it is easier to pick a favorite from a specific artist, and since today is what it is, I pick Led Zeppelin III is my favorite album from the band and the least favorite song from that is "Hats Off to (Roy) Harper".

An album I love where I always skip the opening track came to mind: the raspy rocker "Crying Wolf" on Peter Hammill's Over...
Not a favorite of course but a decent enough tune on its own premises I
guess. Its just that the rest of the album stays beautifully within the
melancholic/sappy/depressive mood I want to be in whenever I feel like
listening to it.

Witch Hunt is awesome. It does lack Rush's usual level of virtuosity and compositional depth, but it is probably Rush's most successful evocation of sheer mood. I go with Vital Signs or maybe the more mainstream sounding and oft overplayed Limelight. |

Fave prog album is Pawn Hearts. No way I could pick 1 of those 3 songs as least favorite though...they're all perfect!

Hemispheres - The Trees Selling England By The Pound - I Know What I Like Neither are terrible, just songs I tend to skip on otherwise brilliant albums.

Awwwww, The Trees is easily as brilliant as the other cuts on Hemispheres. Instrumentally, compositionally, vocally, lyrically... it's got it all in spades.

I knew that'd be controversial
 I loved it when I first heard it, but I've found myself going off the catchier Rush songs after I've listened to them a lot. I agree it's well-written though and I actually think he makes a good point with the lyrics. |

My favourite prog album is WAY too hard to pin down, but one that recurs on any Top 10 I ever put together is David Cousins' Two Weeks Last Summer. I adore the first side in particular, and the second side until it comes to the end, I just think, "Going Home," really doesn't belong, although I do like the sentiment, I just feel as though it should have been on another record. The rest of it is so much more delicate.
