Well. I´m really tired of using always the same phrases in headlines, therefore I´ve used the term "iconic". Perhaps it´s exactly what I mean. ------------- A Elbereth Gilthoniel silivren penna míriel o menel aglar elenath!

Thick as a brick is the deepest work here IMO. But SEBTP is very close . INtCOTCK is an "iconic" album of course + very strong one but it isn't as wonderful as 2 other Masterpieces IMO . ------------- Would you catch the final words of mine? Would you catch my words??? |

 No. In general ITCOTCK is the most iconic album in progrock . I voted for TAAB - it's an icon for me . If everybody voted impartially there would not be any sense to make polls .------------- Would you catch the final words of mine? Would you catch my words??? |

| All great albums, but Thick is a Brick is my favorite album and one of the great albums-any genre- ever IMHO. |

Come on, the only prog album more iconic than Court is Dark Side of the Moon. That's not even a competition. Mind you, as far as the best album goes out of these, I have to go with the Thick as a Brick crowd. That's one of my favourite albums of all time. ------------- All your hearts now seem so far from me, It hardly seems to matter now. |

| I have a hard time completley understanding how to define Iconic here... I guess they all are Iconic prog albums. Court is ofcourse in a great measure the album that defined prog to begin with... but Thick as a Brick seems like a really Iconic album too (and it was meant to be such by Ian Anderson if I understand well). As for my favourite... well, I find that one hare too, the three of them are really wonderful. No vote from me yet. |

Iconic, by strict definition? ItCotCK without a doubt. Of the 3, my least favorite. An approximation of any quantitative measure of iconography would show the clear winner. I'm sure I've used an improper suffix.
