Today? NEU!'s debut. One of the most original spinetinglingly beautiful albums ever recorded.
Of the albums listed here I'd say Kobaïa. Such a thrilling ride.

Magma first album is an unique album for a unique band, so it's twice unique! The kind of album that brings prog to another level of awesomeness.

Monster Movie would actually have taken my vote off Camel.

Re the artists listed in the poll, Yes for me.  Floyd isn't far behind.  And neither is the first VdGG album.

There are a bunch of favorite debut albums from artists listed on the site but not in the poll . . . too many to go through all of them and pick a favorite really.

I'll give one example, though: the first ELO album is probably my favorite ELO album.

ahh... most overrated...
Camel..

more underrated...
that Genesis album.. it took a decade before they returned to their talents and strengths this album showed..  good song writing over prog rock overintellectualism and with their  substandard musical talents...

the winner...

coin flip between GG and Magma..

giving it to Kobaia.. Stoah slays any track .. off of any of those albums

Probably Yes, followed by Rush and The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, respectively.

Is there a link to all this on the forum? I am so in need of a laugh.

^ Fair 'nuff, I just gathered there's a lot of metallers and Indie kids outside of Prog that are familiar with PT at least.

no
outside the prog community, no one knows who he is.
Are you sure ??

for example, the people I know or hang out with don't know who he is. And they listen and are pretty knowledgeable when it comes to rock music.
That's why I said that.

obviously it isn't based on what I like and what I do not... consider it a half assed attempt to group them by importance, impact/influence, and overall quality.

Generally 1st tier groups are groups that even non-prog fans know... that easily devides into the big 3 (ELP, Yes, KC) and the 2nd 3.

2nd tier are those that were as good and groundbreaking innovative.. but are more cult groups. Known and beloved by prog fans, rarely known outside of prog circles.
