In March of this year I did a series of A to Z band-name polls that covered the fifth studio album of many popular, and some not so popular, bands in PA. Over 10 polls I covered about 250 albums. Later I did an A to Z of "artists" series for fifth studio albums. These are the albums included in PA's Prog categories that received a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 10 votes each in the polls. A great many more received less, and various others received many more. Feel free to vote no matter how familiar you are with the options, and this is not multiple votes.

By the way, I would have liked to add the Prog Related ones that qualified, those being Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (1973), Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy (1973) and Wishbone Ash - There's the Rub (1974) but then I'd have to squeeze multiples into a line or lines.
--------------------------------------------

My top six are:
- Can - Future Days
- Gong - Angel's Egg (1973)
- Henry Cow - Western Culture (1979)
- Magma - Köhntarkösz (1974)
- Tangerine Dream - Phaedra (1974)
- Van der Graaf Generator - Godbluff (1975)
With Le Orme's bubbling under. I feel like ADII should be here 2, but I have not heard that in ages and know the earlier ADII much better. I should rectify that.

Today, Future Days, Angel's Egg, Western Culture and Phaedra are most vying for my vote, but the mighty Phaedra shall take it.

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I observed before. It can be much like that with music for me; immersed in experiencing the moment.

My five stars:

Tangerine Dream - Phaedra
Can - Future Days

Four and a half:

Nucleus - Roots (Nucleus are underrappreciated imo, even by myself. As I tend to forget how great they are)
Van der Graaf Generator - Godbluff
Gong - Angel's Egg
Magma - Köhntarkösz

Four:

Camel - Rain Dances
Caravan - For Girls Who Grow Plump in the Night
Le Orme - Contrappunti
Amon Düül II - Wolf City

I used to rate both Köhntarkösz and Godbluff five full stars. But I have to ask myself why I haven't really listened to any them in a few years. I've actually played Rain Dances more often during this period. An album I once couldn't find much enjoyment in.

Phaedra or Future Days - None of them stays in the shelf for very long. To choose one over the other is near impossible.

The same with me. There are so many that can have my vote. So, last option.

Lots of great albums here. On a whim I'll surprise myself and others and vote for the Supertramp album. This doesn't mean I have suddenly lost my love for Amon Duul II, Can, Tangerine Dream, Camel, Caravan, Magma, or Porcupine Tree (or even VDGG, but I like that album less than most others they've done).

PS: I'd be curious if some who choose the last option would vote for something else had the option not been offered. My personal advice to thread openers is: Don't do such a thing! Wink

True I guess, I would probably have chosen an album after a while, probably one with no votes or few votes. 

Also not a good idea to put the "other" option in a poll, some people will ignore the poll options and mention other music that fit the poll question/criteria/description. GeekLOL

I can only speak for myself, but there have been a couple of polls lately in which I didn't vote because I could not choose one above another. Here it is the same: I very much like the albums by Amon Düül II, Camel, Can, Dream Theater, Gong, IQ, Marillion, Supertramp and Van der Graaf Generator. And they're mostly so different from each other that I cannot really choose one over the other. In such a case I prefer not to vote (and only rarely leave a comment in that sense).

So, as the coward I am and to avoid self torture I go with "try as I might..." Tongue

The last option. Too many great albums, with as many different moods, to choose from.

I'm not much for making a choice between Wolf City and Godbluff. I'm also fond of Future Days and Rain Dances.

There was a time when I would have voted for Rain Dances, but having discovered Scenes From A Memory in recent months that one gets my vote.

1. Tangerine Dream – Phaedra (a classic, indisputably, but it also opened the floodgates, thus it represents so much more)

2. TIE: Camel – Rain Dances / IQ – Ever (my favorite albums by these bands)

3. Passport – Cross-Collateral (ditto)

4. VdGG – Godbluff / Gong – Angel's Egg

5. Can – Future Days

  Tangerine Dream- Phaedra... takes the cake. A close second Nucleus-Roots. Followed by Caravan, Gentle Giant, Strawbs, Porcupine Tree, and Van der Graaf Generator.

I can't choose between Ever, Seasons End, The Masquerade Overture and Rain Dances. And Bursting at the Seams is excellent in parts, too.

A ridiculous amount of great music here but today Magma gets my vote.
 I've listened to many of these recently interestingly enough and was really surprised at how moved I was and how much I enjoyed Masquerade Overture. 
Wolf City was another amazing listen the other evening so you could say that's my top three as of right now simply based on recent spins.
I have I believe seven 5 star albums listed there so another day...
