By the way, has anyone else noticed that Rick Wakeman and Anthony Phillips both had albums titled "1984", which coincidentally, were released in the same year of 1981?

| GFTO for me, I wonder who's going to vote for Love Bitch? |

For one moment there, I thought I may have made a spelling mistake on ELP's "Beach Gees" album.

Both good. Strangely there are more keyboards in Phillips and more guitars in Wakeman's. But I'm Going For The One

It's a bizarre coincidence in the weird and wonderful world of prog, and even stranger that they apparently switched instruments for both albums.

Nearly W&W for 'One for the vine' alone, but...overall, I think that GFTO is better. ------------- Levitating downwards, atomic feedback scream. |

Ant made an electronic album with "occasional guitar," so it only seems that way. Rick always has more keyboards!  ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

Wind and Wuthering.........though I do like GFTO and Song for all Seasons....if I had to listen to just one over and over , W&W would be it. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

| Renaissance's most powerful album wins it. Nude and W&W are both good but no more than that |

| Surprised Going For the One is getting the nod because Wind & Wuthering is so much better and the Renaissance is even better still. |

I could have made the poll objective instead and asked everyone to name the *best* album.

1) Nude - a massive return to form 2) A Song for all Seasons - massively underrated by some, but I love it 3) Wind & Wuthering - the last reasonably great Genesis album ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

At least A Song for All Seasons has a much better chance than ELP's Beach Gees album.

In all honesty though, I actually prefer ELP's Love Beach album to Trilogy & Brain Salad Surgery.

^ This is my thinking on it as well. I'm not knocking any other song on GFTO, but 'Awaken' really does elevate that album, for me anyway. ------------- Levitating downwards, atomic feedback scream. |

In all honesty, I prefer 60s Bee Gees to any ELP album. My favourite ELP album is the debut. As for the poll, I will go with the Genesis album. — “Blood on the Rooftops” being a particular favourite of mine on the album. ------------- Just a fanboy passin' through. |
