This time I whittled down a much longer list, and it was hard, and I was still at 28 but decided to have three poll options with two bands each. If anyone votes for those "or" options, please mention which was your preference. I just listened to that newest Kosmischer Läufer for the first time yesterday (I'm big on KL).

Feel free to vote for a band in this list that you enjoy no matter how limited your knowledge, and despite how many you might enjoy. I have opted to not make this multiple votes, but one of course one can mention all one likes (and even dislikes) in a post.

I do like to pick outsiders in these so Mogwai will get my vote. Manfred Mann's Earth Band would be represented quite a bit better by their fourth or sixth album even though The Good Earth is still a fine album. Of course LTIA, Uncle Meat, and the Magma album of which I can't remember the spelling if I don't see the name right in front of me would've been vote-worthy as well.

King Crimson for sure. One of their most brilliant albums. 

Kraftwerk - Radio-Aktivität (1975)

Kansas, KC, King's X, and Zep all great albums.

The stand out for me is Miriodor. Such a great album. Could be my favorite of theirs.

Season's End, probably my favourite Marillion album.

I went with Metallica's Black Album here.  I've heard about 19 of these albums.  King Crimson's LTIA could probably have been my obvious choice in list.  I didn't see the King's X Dogman until afterwards, but probably wouldn't have changed my vote.  Kansas, Led Zeppelin, Marillion, Lonely Robot and Magenta are also favorites and could have got my vote.  Metallica gets my vote as it provides the most nostalgia. 

A real toughie, which could have gone 5 or 6 ways to be fair, but I've given Mostly Autumn the thumbs up...
