This poll looks at five albums each from 1970, 1980 and 1990. The first seven listed are 5 star records in my world. And I have to say, if I had to pick my least favourite year in Prog it has to be 1990. I always thought it was the late eighties until I started doing these "best of" yearly lists and discovered the early nineties are my least favourite period, and 1990 is my least favourite of those. First vote for my avatar. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

| I went with ELP's debut. But, in reality it's a coin toss between ELP and Rush, both great albums. |

Love various of these albums, and I am tempted by Miles Davis (and that U Totem I used to listen to a lot) but I'm putting my big foot down for an abominably giant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddcA--HD95g" rel="nofollow - Yeti stomp . ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me. |

Your fast! I'm a huge fan of that ELP debut. It's just so warm and dated, I love it. And by dated I just mean it sounds like 1970. I might be one of the few not to be tired of Lucky Man. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Okay I regret clicking on that link.  But I'm so glad you voted Yeti. I was really hoping it would get a vote. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Bitches Brew is such an iconic record. I was working for a publishing company about ten years ago, the owner was about 15 years older than me and a big Blues fan. Rich guy who had an apartment above one of his warehouses. He once in a while would ask me to help him carry stuff upstairs to his apartment. He had a drum set up there and lots of vinyl records including Bitches Brew. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

I have very fond memories of watching Backyardigans with my eldest when about three years old. We bought tickets to a Backyardigans concert, which I did not find very good (and overpriced, as was the Dora concert), but The Yeti Stomp was the highlight of the concert (maybe because it always makes me think of the ADII album). On the other hand, I genuinely loved seeing The Wiggles live! My other child was never into such things. Anyway, Yeti is a great favourite album of mine. ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before.

I can't quite believe this but I'm putting T2 over Rush. I absolutely love It'll All Work Out In Boomland, maybe only bettered by my favourite Rush album AFTKs. ------------- Oh, for the wings of any bird, other than a battery hen |

| ELP or Caravan followed by the last, great Hawkwind album or the excellent Tangram. |

I looked after my only grandkid a lot until she was four. The Wiggles were on a lot, and they were entertaining. I wasn't familiar with Backyardigans though. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

I love this post because it just shows how incredible that T2 album was. Both trios. I always enjoyed Landberk's cover of T2's No More White Horses. By the way there are only a handful of Rush albums I'd rate higher than he T2 one. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Today's mood is Genesis' Duke for some reason. In order to improve efficiency I redesigned my hallway to fire chocolate puddings at me if I don't traverse its course in under five seconds.

Between ELP and Caravan. If it was Trilogy I wouldn't have any doubt, but between the two I listen to the second more often ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

I love ELP, Yeti, Bitches Brew, Tangram, Erpland. Feel like voting Tangram today. ------------- I make typos so you see I'm not a machine, but I may be a machine pretending to not be a machine. |

Quite an overlap in our tastes here, as I voted for ELP's debut and am also fond of T2's, Yeti, Bitches Brew and Erpland.  ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

The cover art for Permanent Waves is an interesting one as Rush had given Hugh Syme the job of taking care of the cover art for their albums. He would often collaborate with an artist as he did here. There are four pictures in play. Rush told Hugh the title of the album and Hugh thought of woman's hair perms first, so we get the model with the perm. There's the picture of the Chicago Daily Tribune with the fake headline "Sometimes the permanent wave of politics isn't always what you expect it to be". There's the picture of Hugh waving. And lastly the backdrop is a picture from 1961 Galveston, Texas and the seawall coming in from hurricane Carla. A collage that apparently took almost all night to get it right. Laying the four negatives in their place then trying to print it. Those were the days. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |
