Easily Thick as a Brick - although 1972' albums are all so representative. ------------- - From each according to his ability, to each according to his need. |

Wow only three of my top 10 are on here. My number one is Il Balletto Di Bronzo's Ys since it's not here I went with Close To The Edge over Foxtrot. This was the year RPI blew up really good. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Man, I HATE these polls! Too many good things to choose!!! Have to go with Foxtrot, with CTTE and TAAB tied for second. ------------- Welcome to the middle of the film. |

PFM - Storia for me. These polls are not really fair. You vote for the one you know and who doesn't know Yes/Genesis/Jethro Tull/Crimson? Fairly certain that some people would vote differently if they had ventured out beyond the confines of Britain. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

I most certainly agree with you. Britain has produced some of the best prog in the world but some of it is really overpraised and all the international regional scenes are something different altogether. But alas, we just have to let democracy take its course. ------------- when i was a kid a doller was worth ten dollers - now a doller couldnt even buy you fifty cents |

Or, perhaps, like me you own the PFM and Banco releases in question and think they are fine albums. But in this poll, I simply have a preference for what I consider better albums. ------------- ...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... |

Close to the Edge/Thick as a Brick > Foxtrot. Brick and Edge are two mastperieces, brilliant from beginning to end. Hard to pick one since both are in my top 3 or 4 prog albums. I'll vote for Brick since it has fewer votes. ------------- I shook my head and smiled a whisper knowing all about the place |

| Both PFM albums are equal to me but I had to pick one so I voted for Per Un Amico. |

I picked Close To The Edge for this one but Octopus, Space Shanty and the two PFM albums are all excellent. ------------- when i was a kid a doller was worth ten dollers - now a doller couldnt even buy you fifty cents |

thankfully it is favorite not best album.. by far the best of the lot is of course CttE but I'd be hard pressed to call it a favorite. Giving it to Storia di Minuto.. just about as perfect as CttE but holds up even better to years of repeat listens ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

This poll is assuming the results that were to be expected. And how does anybody top 'Edge? I would have liked the three top vote getters absent from it and then see how the remaining pack would have placed. ------------- "It just has none of the qualities of your work that I find interesting.

I didn't see the Grammys (share your opinion) but usually awards shows have a "people who died this year" piece and I'm guessing this was part of that, rather than an actual tribute.
