For me, the dispute is between Camel, Gentle Giant and Renaissance. I'am going with Gentle Giant because I guess I return to their album more often. Off list: Minstrel in the Gallery. ------------- - From each according to his ability, to each according to his need. |

urrgg.. what better proof that the shelve life of popularity based prog was very short by 1975. Going with the Renaissance album the best of a lot.... by a lot! ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Had to go with the spritely effort of Free Hand because it's a very good album by a great band. The frontrunner, WYWH, is a little too safe of a pick and had some meandering spots here and there (as far as I'm concerned). I know I'm putting many of you off, but 'Here just didn't have that DSOTM epic quality to it. ------------- "It just has none of the qualities of your work that I find interesting. Abandon [?] it." - Eno |
