Tormato is Gandalff, Lord of The Rings Cool
Tormato is really weak, but not as boring as long-winded Tales...

Going For The One, an incredibly produced  and brilliantly atmospheric album.  A true masterpiece, it also features the greatest prog track of all time, the wonderful Awaken.

Oh! Classic Gauss' curve! So, I'll go with a mob - Close to the Edge followed closely by Fragile.

I love how the votes are distributed in a nice, regular normal curve centred on Close To The Edge, skewed ever so slightly in favour of the latter options. Very elegant.

The Yes Album.  It seems to have really started their sound, even though it was there
in earlier albums, the length and power of Yours is No Disgrace really holds up today,
as well as Starship Trooper.  In fact, much of later Yes in some ways is in Starship Trooper.
In some ways, it's their funkiest album (as in Funky music as a good thing, not something
that may smell like old cheese).

Other than one or two songs Tormato is awful and Anderson's voice is grating on it IMO.
A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

Went with Relayer. Steve had a bit of a hard edge on this one, which I dig.

7. Time and a Word
8. Yes
9. Tales from Topographic Oceans
