Two VERY different albums. Hard to compare at all. Not sure I can really make this choice. Hybris is the best 1992 prog album IMO while Per un amico isn't quite top of 1972; however, it only falls below Thick as a Brick, Close to the Edge, and Foxtrot, AKA three of the greatest prog albums ever released. I abstain, AKA vote "Both equally".

I much prefer Storia di in minuto and L'isola di niente to Per un Amico, but I still like PuA. As for Hybris, I used to love it but went off it. Perhaps I should revisit as I haven't listened to it in a very long time. I would consider both to be essential listening to the well-rounded Progger. Won't vote at this time, maybe I'll dig out Hybris again sometime. Interesting albums to compare. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Various music I am very into: a youtube playlist with two tracks per act |

I like both, but I like PFM more. The only reason I had to pause a little before voting for PFM, is the choice of album. Had it been Storia or Isola, there would have been no hesitation at all! ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

First vote for only knowing the Anglagard album  ------------- May God bless you all in Jesus' name. No matter who you are, you're special, you're loved, and you matter. |

Interesting pairing. Two for good reason highly appreciated albums, but also two albums which don't relate very well to me personally. I'll go for PFM just about. |

Second vote for only knowing the Anglagard album. ------------- 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. |

Interesting duo. I like both, but I think I prefer Hybris because is more original, almost a unique album. It has all I love in prog.

both equally lush well crafted prog that challenges the idea of prog being a UK thing. certainly both would be in my top 30 favourite prog albums.

I never really got into Änglagård but have always loved PFM...so there you go. Lots of modern Scandinavian prog that tickles my fancy. Änglagård though sounds a little ‘cold’ for my liking. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

My feelings too. Both are fine and original prog classics. Voted PFM. -------------

It almost is. There's a little bit of singing in Swedish towards the end but not much.

| Hybris doesn't respond to me on the same emotional level as Per Un Amico does. |

After seeing the vote overwhelmingly in favour of "PFM - Per Un Amico", I decided to listen to this album to see why it is so popular compared to "Anglagard - Hybris". This is quite an interesting album. I now understand why it is so popular. ------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands.

I have yet not understood why that album, and the band in general, is so very popular. I find it a nice listen, but not something I really love. I much prefer Banco, or the albums YS or Inferno (from Metamorfosi), or Zarathustra. |
