Deep Purple. Easy one for me. Not a great fan of Tommy even though I'm a Who fan and no fan either of the Five Bridges album. The Nice have made better albums.

The Beatles weakest album puts them out of the field, luckily for everyone else.

For me it comes down to Tommy vs In Rock.

Not easy but I went for In Rock.  Tommy should have won it, based on the strength of the material, but I just always found the peformances/production on this original version underwhelming. In Rock OTTOH was more  performance and sound over absolute craftsmanship. 

I didn't really appreciate how strong the material on Tommy was until I saw the 1989 live version - generally much reviled because Townshend was on acoustic guitar and they had various ring-ins.  But Simon Phillips was astonishing on drums - more orthodox than Moon, but almost as theatrical.

Believe me Pope Paul, my toes are clean

but all good albums on that list. Just found an original vinyl copy of Journey by Kingdom Come at a local shop. Have all the others also on old vinyl except for Kaleidoscope (was recorded in 1970 btw) and Nirvana...difficult to find those in the US.
Kaleidoscope are a band of many facets - including Fairfield Parlour - but I didn't know about White Faced Lady being recorded in 1970, which makes it a real collectors item. It's unlikely I'll be able to buy it but at least I can search for the album through the viewfinder of YouTube. Smile

I have the Kaleidoscope /Fairfield lps on cd...White Lady was also released on a 2cd format. The old vinyl on all of those is priced high due to collectors seeking them. You can get Home To Home and White Faced lady on a 2 cd package for about $30 and the first 2 Kaleidoscope as a 2cd also.
