These dozen albums are simply the last 12 I have listened to, so I know this is an apples or oranges poll. However, as we have not had any polls like this recently, I thought the time was right to change that. So folks, which of these is your favourite album. I have an inkling as to which will win, but am interested to see how a few of the lesser known albums fare.

From these 12, I just know 2, and from those two I barely like 1, and that's Spectral Mornings.

Voyage 34 is such a marvellous psychedelic concept album with this blend of electronic prog,hypnotic
rythms and obvious kraut influences.Very moving!

That's my favourite of these too (not that I know many of them).
Just a music fan passing through trying to fill some void. Various music I am into now: a youtube playlist

^ Hi Febus. When I said recently, I meant in the last 2 weeks! I voted in your poll, for the Hillage album. I know my 12 were a little obscure, but hell, who cares. I might try a poll of the last 12 I bought too.

Depends on the mood, today MSG One Night At Budokan gets my vote
I used to have this album on vinyl, not sure what happened to it, but I remember "Into the arena"

You got it BRILLIANT, period. Hackett being here is not FAIR ! Too classic an album with too many fans.
 
But the TDREAM choice rules
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Voted for Iq, because i think Steve Hackett will win easely, but i like both very much. The rest no quite my thing, Tangerime Dream never like it and Porcupine Tree i can't stand this band, The Black Dog i never heared of them, Michael Schenker Group quite good but not this album listed here, the rest, i know Utopia - Todd Rundgren's Utopia - forgetable in my opinion, Abel Ganz and The orb not my kind of music. So IQ and Hackett by far

I've heard about half of them, and I'd go for Force Majeure, just ahead of Orbus Terrarum and Utopia.

I'd have loved to vote for Aphex Twin, but Steve Hackett had to prevail. :)
