3 of my favourite albums, all are brilliant, but which is your favourite? For me, ITEC has some of the best songs, TTOE has some of the best moments (and a guest artist list to die for!), but THE is just so consistent throughout and is so brilliant lyrically, musically and emotionally. Probably my favourite album of all time

All are great, but definitely "The Human Equation", Arjen's greatest masterpiece.

| I'll go with The Theory of Everyting. THE's second CD is rather boring for me. |

| I like all of Ayreon's albums. It's hard to pick a favourite. |

I'd have to listen to all three Ayreon albums again before I can pick a favourite. I haven't heard the albums since I worked on my own music site, and that was five years ago.

More like several days I think. The one thing I remember about Ayreon is his albums tend to be very long. Maybe I'll post the albums here, then I'll avoid having the albums rudely interrupted by YouTube ads.

Like all three, went with Human Equation. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

I like them all too, but The Human Equation is my preference. ------------- Oh, for the wings of any bird, other than a battery hen |

Into Electric Castle by far, although my favorite is Actual Fantasy, transcendent album. Starting with The Human Equation Arjen started to repeat himself too much around certain formulas, running out of inspiration. Theory of Everything is horrible imo (as hard as it is to say because I respect Lucassen's work a lot) - nothing memorable, no melodies, no songwriting. I feel same happened to Neal Morse for example. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/trevorrabin/?chartstyle=basic10" rel="nofollow">  <a href="http://steveer.ic.cz" rel="nofollow" |

We'll have to agree to differ on this one, my second favourite Ayreon album

I gave my vote to The Electric Castle, but my favourite Ayreon remains The Universal Migrator duo. ------------- Progfan1958 "Peace to you all" "La paix est avec vous" "Pax vobiscum" "Al salaam a'alaykum" "Vrede zij met u allen" "Shalom aleichem" |
