Almost all are fine with me, but I would like to see some Rush in there.

Godbluff gets 5 stars even for me but....

The Least
From H to He
Pawn Hearts

they are on my top: 10/10... how can I say? Absolute masterpieces of rock music,  Six strars /Five stars! Big smile

Godbluff 9/10, a mini masterpiece of prog music!


All are excellent albums and all get 5 from me too, I give 9/10 to the earlier two and 10/10 to the later two.

Three stars?

Surely, in my personal ranking, 

- Thick As a Brick

- Nursery Crime

- Mirage

I agree with you on Godbluff.
I consider it a great album but not so great as The Least, From H to He and Pawn Hearts.

In my opinion it is in a better position because it is a simpler, and more accessible than the previous, more linear, less cacophonous.

While I generally like all of our top 20 albums, there’s a few I don’t care for as much, but my rating is not to say they don’t belong in their spot.

Thick as a Brick (3 Stars)

I know it’s a seemingly universally loved album, it’s just never done much for me and I find myself bored by the end.

Larks Tongues In Aspic (3 Stars)

It is very solid, but a bit uneven unlike Court and Red where I think they really nail the song structure. Larks is more jammy which I understand the appeal of

Fragile (3 stars)

It’s just a bit too all over the place for me, and heart of the sunrise doesn’t appeal to me. I prefer the yes album and the 3 that follow it much more.

That’s it for me
