We all know the guy who sat in the best-loved engineer/producer chair of the history of prog. Please, 3 votes per chin only (and a penny for your thoughts).
This was inspired by the posts of SteveG on the subject of sound engineering. |

ELP's debut is my favourite out of these but I think I prefer the production on those Yes albums from '72 onwards, Relayer especially.

A ver qué sale de esto, viejo...Let's see if Eddy is ready or not.
Tarkus gets one vote for sure. Then I'm going to go full Yes with Tales and The Yes Album, because I feel like it. |

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

Tarkus for sure. Eddie's work is certainly remarkable.

You guys gotta learn to take out the obvious go-to choices if you want these polls to spice up a bit!
Take out CTTE and Tarkus here for some real honesty!

My favourite one is TFTO but clearly the highest rated one is CTTE.

Are we talking just favourite album or best production out of these?
For production/clarity of sound I would go for Trilogy, for best album Close To The Edge.

Tarkus (1971), narrowly over Close to the Edge (1972).

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Good point: I think the production quality must come first in this poll (if one can distinguish it from the musicians performance). |

I thought that problem would be solved by the triple vote, but it seems that many people voted for CTTE and nothing more. Strange... |

As a 'desk jockey' myself I have to go with ELP Trilogy for engineering. It is an amazingly engineered album. Followed closely by... Close to the edge Tarkus Fragile

Picked 'Relayer' because it doesn't get as many votes and is a killer album. Also for 'Close to the Edge' and 'Drama' - simply classics. Could have easily voted for any of these, to be honest. But man, how much I hate the multiple vote option... Always abused, and this is why I never allow it on my polls.
