One of the hardest ones yet:
1: Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick
2: Yes - Close to the Edge 3: Genesis - Foxtrot 4: PFM - Per un amico 5: Banco del Mutuo Soccorso - Darwin! 6: Gentle Giant - Octopus 7: Il Balletto di Bronzo - Ys 8: Wishbone Ash - Argus 8.5: Osanna - Palepoli* 9: Khan - Space Shanty 9.33: PFM - Storia di un minuto** 9.66: Banco del Mutuo Soccorso - S/T** 10: Frank Zappa - The Grand Wazoo Honorable mentions: Dom - Edge of Time ELP - Trilogy Herbie Hancock - Crossings Moving Gelatine Plates - The World of Genius Hans Nektar - A Tab in the Ocean Le Orme - Uomo di Pezza Santana - Caravanserai Time by Time * I had Palepoli here on my list until I read SillyPuppy's comment about the release year, and after doing some research, I did see that most sites, including Discogs, list the earliest release date of the record as 1973, not 1972. ** I'd probably rank both Storia di un minuto and Banco del Mutuo Soccorso above The Grand Wazoo, but seeing as Per un amico and Darwin! are already on my list at #4 and #5 respectively, I wanted to give the #10 spot to a tenth artist instead.

^ Thanks. Your list gave me a clue as to what an RPI band might be: Rock Progressivo Italiano.

^ It would be nice to see a summary at the end of voting. Probably too late now. It looks like some of the lists are in alphabetic order, including your Top 10, Paul.
And I am not saying you should do the counting. I can take care of it. Edited by enigmatic - February 05 2022 at 11:39 |

Thanks. It's almost impossible to rank my Top 10 in order of preference when the albums are all by different artists, and I suspect it's the same for many other PA members here too. It's much easier to rank albums when they're all by the same artist. As you say, it's a little late for me to start counting the votes now, but you're more than welcome to give it a go.

I couldn't assign the points like Psychedelic Paul does it (1st album - 30 points, 2nd album - 20 points, 3rd album - 15 points etc.) because some of the lists were in alphabetic order. I simply counted the votes. I only included first 10 albums from each list. Some lists had more than 10 albums listed, for instance siLLY_puPPY's list had 11 albums, I excluded last one QVL - s/t.
Here are the results after counting the votes from 26 PA users. I am listing the albums with more than 2 votes only.
1-3. Genesis - Foxtrot (21 votes) 1-3. Jethro Tull - Thick As A Brick (21 votes) 1-3. Yes - Close to the Edge (21 votes) 4. Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Trilogy (14 votes) 5. Gentle Giant - Octopus (13 votes) 6. Premiata Fomeria Marconi - Per Un Amico (12 votes) 7. Khan - Space Shanty (10 votes) 8. Frank Zappa - The Grand Wazoo (7 votes) 9-11. Banco del Mutuo Soccorso - Darwin! (6 votes) 9-11. Gentle Giant - Three Friends (6 votes) 9-11. Moody Blues - Seventh Sojourn (6 votes) 12. Il Balletto di Bronzo - Ys (5 votes) 13-15. Can - Ege Bamyasi (4 votes) 13-15. Gnidrolog - Lady Lake (4 votes) 13-15. Nektar - A Tab in the Ocean (4 votes) 16-24. Amon Duul II - Wolf City (3 votes) 16-24. Banco del Mutuo Soccorso - s/t (3 votes) 16-24. Deep Purple - Machine Head (3 votes) 16-24. Matching Mole - Matching Mole (3 votes) 16-24. Moving Gelatine Plates - The World Of Genius Hans (3 votes) 16-24. Pink Floyd - Obscured by Clouds (3 votes) 16-24. Renaissance - Prologue (3 votes) 16-24. Santana - Caravanserai (3 votes) 16-24. Uriah Heep - Demons and Wizards (3 votes) Edited by enigmatic - February 06 2022 at 08:30 |
