Came down to Yes's Drama vs Rush's Permanent Waves. Big fan of both, but by the narrowest of margins I went with Drama. I listen to it more often. Going back 10 years ago, I would have picked Rush.

I really like the Bruford, Peter Gabriel, Alan Parson Project and Genesis releases from 1980 too.

John Williams is my favorite classical guitarist, so Sky found it's way on the turntable a fair bit back in the day.

No Art Zoyd's Génération sans futur? Shame. That is a monster of a masterpiece. I will go Present.

I've substituted Ange for Art Zoyd in the poll, although it's probably too late to pick up any votes now. Embarrassed

Two surprising votes for Gentle Giant's less-than-memorable final album. Personally, I prefer sweetcorn. Smile
