From this list, Low Spark. One of the great albums that no one talks about.

Ummmmm, tough one!

For "best" I'd probably have to say Pawn Hearts.

If it was favourite then it would probably be The Yes Album followed by In The Land of Grey and Pink

A lot of albums I like. Was hard not to vote for The Yes Album but gave Caravan some love here.

My vote too, but really this could've gone to most of the choices, except Islands, which I find KC's weaker one in the 70's.
 
I went for Low Sparks because it had fewest votes, but like all the other, there is a weaker track on it (Light Up or Leave Me alone)... That's why I prefer Shootout to it, because there are no weaker tracks.

My vote for second place goes to 1001° Centigrades - Magma.

In the Land of Grey and Pink, although I could have easily voted for Fourth or Low Spark on another day.

I wanna say Low Spark, but I can't really give it the vote over the Yes Album, Pawn Hearts or Islands.

So, I'm abstaining.

The Yes Album closely followed by The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys. Honorable mention to In the Land of Grey and Pink.

^ Holy Christ, this is a tough one. Low Spark is among Traffic’s best, same with Pawn Hearts for VDGG. And I am, first and foremost, a Yes fan, and The Yes Album is what set me on that course. But In the Land of Grey and Pink is the best of the lot. I’m actually glad Fragile isn’t here!
