Out of the seven albums I've listened to in this poll, Steve Hackett gets my vote.

| I'd like to vote for Black Moon; I think it was a decent late release for ELP. But Songs from the Wood is simply stronger. |

Now Tull are cooking on gas. Easy choice. Go Well Diamond Heart is another good MA album and Duke is perhaps the best Genesis post-Hackett album, but neither challenges Songs From the Wood. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

Don't know all of these, and I don't really like the ones I know, so no vote this time. |

It looks like Jethro Tull are finally going to win against Genesis in this series of polls. I'll have to remember not to put Jethro Tull in the same poll as Genesis again.

it's Duke which some dislike and Songs from the Wood is quite popular here. Some have voted for neither, myself included. Put JTull's "A" against Duke, and I don't think it would get a lot of votes. JTull can win deservingly against Genesis, I don't see why we should not put them against each other in polls. it's all for fun & chat after all.

Duke is my fav album by the 3---- Although--Guitar Noir is a great underrated Hackett album.
|

Guitar Noir is my favourite Steve Hackett album, which sometimes gets passed over in favour of his better-known debut album.

The easiest of these polls for me so far, and one I have been anticipating. Songs From the Wood has been one of my favorite albums ever since I first got it on vinyl in the latter days of the 70s. Others that ring out for me include Guitar Noir (a clear second), Black Moon, and the criminally overlooked Take What You Need (not prog but still a great album with some of Trower's most creative solos). ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

guilty! I'm very fond of this album, being the first APP I ever heard, long time ago. |

And now it got a second one from me, after following Cristi's advise.

yes, but if you really want to be shocking then vote for Procol Harum's Prodigal Stranger. What a stinker.

No, I voted for the nostalgia of Steve Hackett's Guitar Noir, but I like APP's towering Gaudi album too.

I'd heard Procol Harum's Prodigal Stranger was a great comeback album. I'm looking forward to listening to all of Procol Harum's albums, eventually. I'm on the letter "P" at the moment on my Prog Britannia YT Channel, but that's "P" for Pink Floyd, so I have to go through the entire alphabet again to reach Procol Harum, which includes setting two weeks to one side to complete Rick Wakeman's humungous discography of albums.

I love the title track and video from Procol Harum's Long Goodbye (1995) album, featuring the dramatic closing scenes from the movie, Zabriskie Point. |
