Very difficult, as they are all 5 star albums. WYWH at the moment for me, I think.

| These are four exquisite vintage wines. Just as choosing a wine includes an awareness of its accompaniments, choosing one of these classics depends on the time of day, one's particular mood, what might be listened to before or after, etc., etc. (In other words, I love all my children.) |

Yeah, something like that.
Thick as a Brick (part 1) is the best song out of all the songs that are in those albums, however as an entire album Thick as a Brick has the okay-ish Part 2 which drags down the album.
Still, I vote for TAAB.
All classics though, of course.

Ofcourse I love them all, but my favourite is Wish you Were Here, closely followed by Close to the Edge. Then it is Selling England by the Pound (The Battle of Epping Forest makes it lose too many points for me), and I don't know Thick as a Brick so well, so it might just as well give a strong competition to Selling England once I buy it. I wish this poll would have included In the Court of the Crimson King too. |

All four are essential to my collection. I'm surprised they aren't running more neck and neck though. I decided to go with Thick.

4 of THE essential prog albums, no doubt about it.
Wish You Were Here just gets my vote over Selling England. CTTE is not far behind. TAAB would be fourth but that is a classic album too.

Close to the Edge and Thick as a Brick - tied for first place Wish You Were Here - second place Selling England by the Pound - third place Voted Jethro Tull since Yes was doing rather well, thank you very much; however A Passion Play is better than all of them!
