BIG as in well-known, famous among progheads (not that I see myself as one  )so what happens if one puts some of these albums in a poll, well let's see... for the fun of it, one album should stand out for you   |

My top three is included in this poll. It is easy to show my default behaviour once again: Close to the Edge. -------------

Ah, my mistake, didn't see you were the same author. In that case, Close to the Edge.

Van der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts VdGG's music is really kind of an acquired taste...as i have found..it took me almost a year to get into them...Pawn Hearts was my entry point...listening to this album to me is one-of-its-kind of experience....can't describe, im at loss of words.. And its got that special song which wud always be my absolute favourite- "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers". |

Renaissance, and not just out of pity. Love Close To The Edge but Renaissance wins me over here. If Selling England By The Pound was the Genesis choice, they would have won here. Foxtrot is my least favorite from ALL their 70s output, actually. I know, that's not too common to hear from a Genesis fan. I'd pick Trespass or ATTWT over it any day however. -------------

| To be completely honest, this is really easy for me. Gentle Giant's s/t gets my vote, 'Wish You Were Here' is the only other album that I'd vote for. |

As usual for me, it came to a contest between Yes and Tull,  so the question becomes CttE or TaaB? Since the two bands are my two favorites, my preference moves on an album to album basis. The vote today goes to Tull. Ironically, neither album is my absolute favorite from the two bands but are still towards the top. Honorable mentions go to Steve Hackett, ELP, King Crimson, and Pink Floyd. I am with Fudgenuts in that Foxtrot is my least favorite album from the Peter Gabriel era (even though I still rank it five stars).------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Jethro Tull Polls with more than eight choices are extremely difficult.
