There are albums in the list I would kill for. They reflect my general band's preferences. In general I prefer Floyd to Camel but I prefer Mirage to DSOTM and Aqualung is my favorite Tull album. Fragile is another masterpiece and.....well, no vote.

1 Mirage (even though I think it's their 3rd best album)
2 Foxtrot
3 Aqualung (even though I think it's their best)
4 Dark Side of the Moon
5 Hemispheres
6 Blackwater Park
7 Storia di un Minuto
8 Fragile (which is their 4th best album for me)
 
The rest are not to my taste.

Tie between Hemispheres and Foxtrot, though I'll give Hemispheres some love since not many others are doing so Unhappy. Those are my favorite albums by Rush and Genesis.

Fragile, Red, and Metropolis would all follow very closely behind though.

I'm going with Foxtrot but only because it has been in my collection the longest other than DSOTM which I wouldn't vote for anyway.

Foxtrot is my favourite Gabriel era Genesis album so that gets my vote although Red runs it close.

Some reeeeally tough to decide options here.

Six months ago I would have said Foxtrot without a blink, but lately that album, outside of "Watcher of the Skies", isn't really doing it for me anymore for some reason (still a huge fan of the two albums prior and Lamb).

Blackwater Park has some of Opeth's best stuff, but "The Leper Affinity" & "Funeral Portrait" never really won me over...kind of "stock" Opeth tunes.

Since my youth, DSOTM has always hit a bit of a lull for me when "Us & Them" starts and ends after "Any Colour You Like".

I could go on concerning my reasonings with the other excellent albums here (no duds for sure), but I'll just say that for today I choose Fragile. It's grown on me a lot lately, and all the major tunes are fantastic as well as some of the individual little buggers in-between, including Jon's weird but real catchy contribution.

Pawn Hearts followed by Dark Side OfThe Moon and Storia Di Un Minuto.

I urgently need a copy of Darwin !.

Was very tough between Metropolis, Fragile, Foxtrot, and Pawn Hearts for me. Went with Pawn Hearts in the end.

Aqualung for me, followed by DSotM, Foxtrot and Fragile.

  1. Dark Side
  2. Mirage
  3. Fragile
  4. Pawn Hearts
I am currently digging:

Hawkwind, Rare Bird, Gong, Tangerine Dream, Khan, Iron Butterfly, and all things canterbury and hard-psych. I also love jazz!

Please drop me a message with album suggestions.

I'm unable to vote either but there are 3 or 4 there I really like .....but if push comes to shove it has to be Red because of Starless.

It's a good thing I can't vote yet, I'd have a really hard time choosing between Red and Pawn Hearts.
