We have 15 albums from 15 different sub-genres al ranked 46th in their respective subs based on a search done on the site.
One vote.

There are five on here I rate really high. There are others I'd vote for as well, but it's the five from...
One Shot
Et Cetera
Igra Staklenih Perli
Panzerpappa
La Maschera Di Cera

I decided to go with One Shot this time.

I'm choosing Kraftwerk's Trans-Europe Express over Morte Macabre's Symphonic Holocaust, but love both of those albums. I also have enjoyed One Shot's Ewas Vader but have not listened to it much since it came out.

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.

I had to look up that Ayreon album as I sort of got out of Prog Metal for years. I'm getting back into it now and see this is rated high. And hey it's Ayreon!

I usually guess wrong but I figured this was the album to beat on this poll. Such an exciting time when these well know musicians from Marillion, Spock's Beard, The Flower Kings and Dream Theater got together. Too many cooks in the kitchen I figured back then, but it seemed to work out over the years.

It sure is. The album cover highlights Larry Coryell and drummer Jon Hiseman but this has a strong German flavour with the great Wolfgang Dauner on keyboards and Gunter Lenz on bass. American Fred Braceful who was living in Germany at this time is on drums.

I clearly underestimated this album. I thought Transatlantic might run away with this poll. I'm usually wrong anyways when I try to predict who will get the most votes in these polls.

Ahh, I thought Kraftwerk here. Two of your top three have enough mellotron to sink a ship.

I remember the Zappa influence. And Rikard is not only of course here with his band Beardfish, but he was part of Big Big Train's Folklore alum that's on this poll. He gets around.

I should like Transatlantic but sadly I don't. It's not that I don't like their individual projects/groups ( I really do) but I just couldn't connect to their music for some reason. Lifesigns was altogether a better 'Supergroup' for me and I love their 3 albums but that one is never talked about.

So glad to see your vote for this one. Possibly my favourite album from Yugoslavia.

I had to look up Lifesigns but I'm glad I did. They got by me.

Really glad to see Beardfish doing so well here. And sad to see the Italians without a vote.

Nice to see Hidden Details mentioned at least. I liked that one a lot. Will it be their last? But Knirsch is the real deal.

I saw Soft Machine live when Hidden Details came out (actually the only time I saw them). Very good album and a pity that it doesn't have votes. They released another album in 2023, Other Doors, which I didn't like quite as much. I just saw that you reviewed it at the time.
