Thank you, Dean, for your adroit factoid.


'Twas Tull's only UK No.1 too and together with the Moodies they are the only Prog artists to have UK No.1 albums in the 1960s. Co-incidentally both artists were the first Prog bands to have chart No.1's in the USA with Thick as a Brick and Seventh Sojourn in 1972, neither of which hit No.1 in the UK.

Thank you, Dean, for your continued astuteness regarding chart placement. I am waiting for someone to put forth the argument that The Moody Blues were in fact proto-prog, as that was the designation on the vinyl bins according to used record-sellers. Wink
LOL We can wait... 
What?

Voted for Stand Up. Tull knew exactly what they were doing and released a fine album of music. Varied yet cohesive. Yes and Genesis both sound competent. Genesis were very ambitious but modest while the covers on the Yes album (sic) show there is a way to go even without the benefit (sic) of hindsight.

Ummagumma is both equally brilliant and half arsed. As performers Floyd sounded just fine. I still thouht SET The Controls should've been restored once the limitations of the vinyl format had been bypassed.

SO it comes down to the studio tracks. This the conundrum album. Poor Nick Mason. 10 minute or so and he has to fill it up with his percussion. DG did a good job with The Narrow Way. Rog has the best song with Grantchester Meadows and either the most fun or most annoying with Species. Wright conjured up the best over all piece. I wonder if he expressed his real thoughts on the matter with the title Sysyphus.

To have been fine these demos should then have been played and rearranged as a band and then recorded. Then the live album could be a 2 LP set with the studio album really pointing the way ahead. It. er, might have made subsequent albums (whatever they were ;)) even better as they noted progress from the next album onward.

Although seen as a mod band, The Small Faces were quite proggy for the time

Although I like some albums  by all four bands in the poll, particularly Yes and Pink Floyd, I am not keen at all on any of those four albums
