I love Come Sail Away, despite (or perhaps because of) how utterly cheesy it is.

Hey, when an albino plays a song called "Frankenstein", you just have to listen.
...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

I would have voted for 25 or 6 to 4 if that had been on the list. That must have achieved a high billboard placing I imagine as well.

Wow - since I last checked Frankenstein has stormed ahead into the lead!
 
I wonder what this poll would be like if it were entirely based on UK chart hits....Kate Bush, Gerry Rafferty, Lieutenant Pigeon, Chicory Tip, Wizzard, etc etc
rotten hound of the burnie crew

That would be cool, I'd love to see that. It could introduce us non-UKers to more cool music. I'm a fan of Kate Bush, I know of Gerry Rafferty (Baker Street and Right Down the Line were huge in the US, as was Stuck in the Middle with You), but those others, 'haven't a clue :-) I didn't think of Rafferty as being on the fringes of prog (perhaps I'm wrong, though, I don't know a lot about 'em), but Kate Bush, definitely. THE DREAMING always felt to me to be a companion piece to Gabriel's MELT album.
LOL

25 Or 6 To 4 is super !!  Wishing You Were Here is lush !!  Actually, the album it appeared on (Chicago VII) is nothing less than MAGNIFICENT !!  My pick of the bunch.

I know you're sticking to the 70s but in 1969 (so close) Blood, Sweat and Tears (listed as Jazz/Fusion on PA) had 3, yes 3 singles that all went to #2 on the Billboard charts. 

These songs are "You Made Me So Very Happy", "Spinning Wheel", and "When I Die". All of these 3 songs are on their self titled album (released in 1968). I don't think many artists listed in PA can match this feat.

Voted FM off this list.  Would have voted Living for the City had it been included in the poll.

I bought the first two and then leapt forward to that album after reading an excellent review on PA extolling its virtues. Apparently the last hurrah of the more experimental Chicago before they went full on commercial.

fantastic track. I got the album so that I could have the long version to listen to

Always makes me think of the Stevie Wonder episode of the Cosby Show. The reason is right at the end of the clip (the whole clip is bloody funny btw)
