The first of Focus' eponymous tracks gets my vote. It's my favourite Focus track. Not as complex as much of their best work but it has a beautiful melody and is great motorway music.
The whole first album deserves more praise than it gets.

The one I have listened to more often is Focus I, because it is the one I liked better. Don't really remember the other songs, but that one must be my choice.

Number Five. That is so full of breathtaking chord changes... Absolutely amazing stuff.

I like I, II, III and IV. Focus II is a polished gem, I have to prefer it above IV, which is also excellent.

This is my favourite track of that album with obvious shades of Hocus Pocus

The lack of Jan has kept me from checking them out.

I would like to mention that there is a Focus 7,8 and a Focus 9 ( I guess their might be a Focus 6 as well) Their last two albums almost get treated as though they don't exist which is a real shame as they are both excellent

I'm going with "Focus III".
Incidentally, Focus and Gryphon are the first Prog bands I can remember getting into. Edited by Logan - November 20 2011 at 13:21 |

There's a vocal version of the first Focus theme. Edited by irrelevant - November 20 2011 at 09:45 |

I agree, II for me. (Aren't they all instrumentals?)

I think every single one of these are great (except for IV).
I'll vote for II. Absolutely beautiful piece of music. Which one is your favourite?
