From favorite to least favorite:

1. Every Good Boy Deserves Favour
2. On the Threshold of a Dream
3. Days of Future Passed
4. To our Children's Children's Children
5. Seventh Sojourn
6. A Question of Balance
7. In Search of the Lost Chord

Controversial choices, I realize, but I've been listening to these albums for almost 40 years, and this is how I see them!

to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

Lost Chord

Threshold
Children's Children




Future Passed
Sojourn
Good Boy
Question
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

1. DOFP
 2. OTTOAD
3. AQOB
4. ISOTLC
5. TOCCC (to be fair I'm not that familiar with this one)
6. SS
7. EGBDF

None of these are bad by any stretch though. EGBDF just has a few silly tracks I could do without.

This thread has been up for about a month now, and I'd like to say thanks to everyone who has responded so far. One of the best things about PA is the diversity of viewpoints, as the responses above certainly demonstrate. I was reasonably sure that Days and In Search Of would be most people's favorites, but the other albums were placed all over the map. Both Every Good Boy and Seventh placed in first and last place on different lists. All the more reason to go back and listen again!

Thanks again and enjoy!

Same here
Friedrich Nietzsche: "Without music, life would be a mistake."



Music Is Live

Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed.



Keep Calm And Listen To The Music…
