Sheesh. It is damn near a TIE between Lamb and Red for me. But with gun to my head, I will pick Lamb. ------------- http://iancat.bandcamp.com" rel="nofollow - “The mystery of life isn't a problem to solve, but a reality to experience.” |

I voted for Red, but it's a tie between that and Relayer, as usual. Both are stellar albums. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

Tough call. In my mind there are three classics on this list: Red, Apostrophe, and Crime of the Century. Went with Apostrophe because no had yet voted for Zappa. ------------- He neither drank, smoked, nor rode a bicycle. Living frugally, saving his money, he died early, surrounded by greedy relatives. It was a great lesson to me -- John Barrymore |

I don't like Red or Apostrophe at all, but the other 3 are very good. COTC just wins by a hair over Relayer - there's some great stuff on the Lamb, but too much filler. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

No vote. Red, Crime, and Lamb are all perfect for different moods. ------------- https://www.last.fm/user/Tapfret" rel="nofollow">  https://bandcamp.com/tapfret" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp |

For me, it's a tie between 'Red' and 'Lamb'. I'd probably give the edge to 'Red' because the song "Starless" blows away anything else on this last. After those two, for me it's Zappa, Yes and then Supertramp. For some reason 'Relayer' has never clicked for me despite multiple efforts. Except for the "Soon" part, which is fantastic. ------------- PROGMATIC |

Red. Because of originality (proto prog metal) and the masterpiece Starless.

I think I was disappointed when I heard Red for the first time but then I fell totally for its raw charm. |

Crime of the Century ------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man. |

Lamb > Relayer > Red ------------- Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement. |

Supertramp, clearly one of the best mastered albums of that era.......That listening experience is brilliant -------------

| 1974 was such a great year for albums (and 72 and 73). Just those three years were really central for defining the genre. |

| My favourite album from 1974 though, is Roxy and Elsewhere (Zappa, of course, my favourite Zappa album - better than Apostrophe). |
