It took a long time for me to try any of the post-Trower 70's albums...definitely a different feel but love Grand Hotel, Ninth, and Exotic has that great remake of Monsieur Armond Wink

^I like it quite much too. The Well´s On Fire is also better than the Prodigal Stranger, although it also has some good moments.

I find their 2017 release to be quite nice Neuvau, pretty fresh for a 55 year old band

Sorry folks, I will vote here. I can't choose, simply cause I love all of their albums. Well, almost all at least...
And since In Concert with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra is not included, I decided not to participate. But up to Exotic Birds, all are excellent albums! Broken Barricade and 9th are the weakest ones in my opinion...

Thank you. :)

If I could own only one and listen to only one it would be Shine On Brightly.

I voted in this poll years ago but never commented.  To me the first album is by far the best, in fact their only really good album (4 stars), full of youthful exuberance and that organ/piano combo.  In Held Twas in I is a bloated epic and they never seemed to know what to do with the great Robin Trower.  That said, pretty much every album from 1967-1974 has at least a few good tracks, with Grand Hotel being perhaps the best of these.

Picked A Salty Dog, but their best album is actually In Concert with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra.

The first 5 are all awesome. Grand Hotel slumps but has its moments. Exotic is a different sounding great Procol. My personal feelings were that after that great one being panned they dropped the ball in despair.

I agree with you.
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.

Years ago, I used to have LP's of 'A Salty Dog' and 'Something Magic' but I could never get into them. I put Procol out to dry, though was always tempted with 'Home' and 'Exotic Birds And Fruit' because they looked cool...........
