I think every single one of these are great (except for IV). I'll vote for II. Absolutely beautiful piece of music. Which one is your favourite? -------------

I agree, II for me. (Aren't they all instrumentals?) ------------- ProgArchives.com The Ultimate Progressive Rock Music Discography, Reviews database and Forum. |

There's a vocal version of the first Focus theme. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focus_Plays_Focus" rel="nofollow - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focus_Plays_Focus

I'm going with "Focus III". [tube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCqDZMqd4XY[/tube] Incidentally, Focus and Gryphon are the first Prog bands I can remember getting into. ------------- |

I would like to mention that there is a Focus 7,8 and a Focus 9 ( I guess their might be a Focus 6 as well) Their last two albums almost get treated as though they don't exist which is a real shame as they are both excellent

The lack of Jan has kept me from checking them out. -------------

This is my favourite track of that album with obvious shades of Hocus Pocus

I like I, II, III and IV. Focus II is a polished gem, I have to prefer it above IV, which is also excellent. -------------

| Number Five. That is so full of breathtaking chord changes... Absolutely amazing stuff. |

| The one I have listened to more often is Focus I, because it is the one I liked better. Don't really remember the other songs, but that one must be my choice. |

The first of Focus' eponymous tracks gets my vote. It's my favourite Focus track. Not as complex as much of their best work but it has a beautiful melody and is great motorway music.
The whole first album deserves more praise than it gets.
