Voted VDGG. I have never been able to like them. Just not my cup of tea. Maybe I'll try again next year.

Awww... this sucks for Godbluff.
I vote Thick as a B. Which is curious because it's the first album I bought on vinyl along with Lark's tongue. I think It's good but not "#2 prog album ever" material.

I have voted for SEBTP which I caused to fall from #1 with my 3-stars rating. Sooner or later I'll do the same with TAAB which I think would have been a stupendous suite if limited to 25-30 minutes. I think that JT have used too many fillers to fit into the LP length. Aqualung is far better and I prefer even Too old to rock and roll.
By coincidence I've listened to WYWH this morning and it's one of my less loved PF albums. CTTE and In the court are in the right place, instead. Two immortal masterpieces. I've never been into VdGG but it's my fault, not their.

VDGG, simply for the fact that it's the hardest to get into.

i feel particularly sorry for Godbluff :( voted Close to the Edge, it's a good album but kind of bland imo and Siberian Khatru brings it down even more

Close to the Edge -- I like the title track, but I was never able to really like the rest. I also find the album to be on the bland side. It's an okay album to my ears. My favourite of these albums are Godbluff -- though still not one of my very favourite VdGG albums -- and Wish You Were Here (Atom Heart Mother is my favourite Floyd album for the suite in particular).

SEBTP as I much prefer Foxtrot and ATOTT. The other albums are either my first or second favourites by those bands.

honestly, this poll is much harder than the previous one (Best Worst Album?); although, i like all except Godbluff, mainly because i never listened to it before, so unfortunately, it gets my vote (not sayin its true though).

Yes - Close to the Edge, I always preferred 'Fragile'. A bit surprised that VdGG have gathered so many votes.

Godbluff is pretty awful. I just don't like VDGG at all, mainly due to Hamill's vocals. I can no longer listen to some of ITCOTCK, but Epitaph and the title track are great.
The other four I like a lot, though none of them is quite a 5* album for me.

Least fave is a toss up between CTTE & WYWH...I can't remember the last time I've bothered to listen to either one but CTTE gets my vote as I hate the studio version of Siberian Khatru.

TAAB is a bit overrated, so that.

I guess I have to vote for Godbluff. I really like VDGG, but there's no whole album of them I really love (just as with ELP). Some really awsome songs that I just can't stop listening to, though.

Ah, you gotta listen to it before you vote against it  The thing's the only one of the six I consider an unadulterated masterpiece.
