Continuing from the earlier poll "Third Time's A Charm", vote for your favourite album that happens to be the fourth studio album by some of prog's biggest bands. Of these I'll cast the inaugural vote for Moonmadness. ------------- when i was a kid a doller was worth ten dollers - now a doller couldnt even buy you fifty cents |

Moonmadness a lot of great albums, I haven't listened to Gentle Giant in quite a while. I've always loved Octopus. |

I regard Brain Salad Surgery as ELP's fifth album. Yes, Pictures at an Exhibition is live, but it contains original music not found on ELP, Tarkus, or Trilogy. I voted for 2112. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

For once I can pass up Yes or Tull. In this case the vote must go to Moonmadness. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Foxtrot was a signifying statement of a newly organized group's sophomore effort. Moonmadness, though, excelled in every phase of the songwriting for an already well-established unit. Hate to vote against the former but am rather fond of the latter. Call it moon madness. ------------- "It just has none of the qualities of your work that I find interesting. Abandon [?] it." - Eno |

Fragile easily... would have gone for BSS but it committed the same offense Pawn Hearts did... took the master suite just a bit too far and blew it by the end. none of the others really compare at all to Fragile otherwise.. so of course Fragile is close to bringing up the bottom.. to what.. a Camel album and sophorific Genesis album. Whatever... ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Since it looks like the vocabulary police are already on patrol... I believe you mean "epithet". On an unrelated note, it's pretty funny having all these old threads get resurrected and seeing just how much (or little) tastes change over time. When I pulled this one open and saw the mere measly 7 votes for Fragile I almost said out loud "how the hell did you people vote that Camel album above Fragile?!?", then I sort of figured "Oh, maybe back in the day I decided to vote for Gentle Giant instead..." Then I went back to my original post...
Oh well. But then there have been other old polls I've pulled open in the past week where there's been 15-20 albums listed out and I've thought "oh man, X album is totally my first choice, then Y, followed by Z..." and so on down the line, only to find out that I posted a comment on page 1 back in February 2016 ranking the options in the exact same order!  ------------- when i was a kid a doller was worth ten dollers - now a doller couldnt even buy you fifty cents |

Foxtrot! My favourite album - so at least I'm consistent. However, what an excellent poll and a great selection albums. Some of my all-time greats here! It shows you that if you allow groups to grow in time - masterpieces result. What a shame the modern music business demands these standards with just the first one or two albums! Sigh...... ------------- “Living in their pools, they soon forget about the sea.” |
