6 of the best ELOY albums, and I can hardly choose one between them - but make a choice - and there may be a winner

The mighty `Floating'....one of my all-time favourite progressive albums. Easily top 5.

I also have a lot of love for `The Power and the Passion' especially the first side. `P.a.t.P' was the VERY first progressive album I ever heard. Tom Ozric from the Archives here gave me a cassette with `Passion' on one side and Genesis `Nursery Cryme' on the over...and my prog journey began there!

But honestly, ALL of these albums are amazing, and I love every damn one of them!

^^^^^ I love Floating too - thats my choice because thats where Eloy started for me - every album is a masterpiece really in the 70s.

My ELOY journey began around late 1992 when I came across 'Time To Turn', clear vinyl version with a superb Rodney Matthews cover-art (but the track-list is botched coz they left off 'Magic Mirrors', and included a piece of 'Colours' ??).  All albums from the debut S/T - TTT are winners in my book, but top vote goes to..............FLOATING !!!!!  Absolute knock-out.

me too
BUT for their 70s work, I vote for Dawn, with Inside very close behind, and Ocean a bit behind that
Silent Cries is in the middle
s/t, Floating, and P&P are not big in my books

Tis true. The live version of Ocean (pretty much included in its entirety) packs a bigger punch than the studio version imo.

I'm looking forward to being able to vote in this poll, but my Eloy journey has just begun. I've only heard Ocean and Silent Cries And Mighty Echoes so far and they were absolutely first-rate. I'm interesting now in hearing where the band were musically before Ocean and where they went after Silent Cries. So excited to hear more albums.

Eloy have never been very original, but they are so good that who cares? The first albums are more hard rock oriented and I've always thought that the first period is inspired to Uriah Heep, the second to Pink Floyd (obviously) and then they went into the 80s.
