It is one of my all-time favourite albums now. I adore it.

While it's the earliest Swans album that I would now recommend to those into more melodic and beautiful, after that over a few albums it gets more accessible from that music standpoint still, I think. Not recommending this to you Paul even if I think you would appreciate much of it due to your start to finish in the discography policy, but this is a live album from Swans (now out of print) from 1992 that covers some of the band's more accessible period. I think it's great. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHP7bAjOIkpDJcM5BQQzwuOTTuioW15-m
 
I bought my first album by the Swans today, just on the strength of your recommendation, but it sounds so different to what I expected, you'd think it was a different group entirely. I'd like to hear more of the Swans albums, If I Only Had Time. Wink

It says "Video  Unavailable", but I clicked on your link and had a brief listen to some of the songs on Swans' Omniscience album, which certainly made a welcome change from the unlistenable songs on their first three albums. Smile

I'll vote for SB here, though there are many others that I also like very much.

I voted for Mostly Autumn in every poll, although Pallas and Pendragon run a pretty close second. Smile

In Round Five it's another 'opeless 2-star effort from Opeth again I'm afraid, but okay I suppose if you like growling honey monster vocals. Talk Talk's final album is a big disappointment for me and makes their former status as masters of Synth-Pop a Laughing Stock. As per usual I've given the five Avant Prog albums (by the Cardiacs; Guapo; Present; Swans; & Thinking Plague) a wide berth again for obvious reasons. Other than that, this fifth album poll is a great line-up of mostly 4 & 5 star albums with Transatlantic's most recent album being their best so far, although all of the above comments are entirely a matter of subjective opinion and other opinions may vary.

I've gone for IQ because I just think Ever is beautiful... but on another day it could have been either Spock's or Magenta from these selections....

OUCH!

my knee jerk reaction is to vote Ever but I do love that Marillion album and believe it was an important milestone for neo prog. IQ caught up later.

Honorary mention for Magenta - Metamorphosis which tends to be a bit overlooked. I almost prefer it to Seven which is generally considered their best. My top 3 Magenta album would also contain the contain the recent We Are Legend. Excellent band who turn out consistently high quality albums.

I voted against Wobbler, since I can't conceive it winning this poll. And I prefer DT's SFAM anyway.
