So many incredible bands on this list, my favorite is Can followed by Faust, Magma, Amon Duul II, and Gong.
Edit: Oh, and Egg of course.

Gryphon and Greenslade are the only bands on there I regularly listen to, but Gryphon get my vote as Dave Lawson's vocals don't do it for me. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

Frumpy is perhaps too little known to be voted for. I advise everyone to look them up on YouTube. Inga Rumpf is one of the greatest female singers ever, and the musicians are all excellent.

Gong. I also love Hawkwind. ------------- I am currently digging: Hawkwind, Rare Bird, Gong, Tangerine Dream, Khan, Iron Butterfly, and all things canterbury and hard-psych. I also love jazz! Please drop me a message with album suggestions. |

My two favorites are tie at the top (Gong and Magma) so my vote goes to Univers Zero (even though I've listened to Frumpy just yesterday) ------------- Curiosity killed a cat, Schroedinger only half. My poor home recorded stuff at https://yellingxoanon.bandcamp.com |

In polls like these where it's pretty much impossible to pick just one i usually give a vote to one of my favourites that doesn't have one yet. The problem is that Amon Duul II, Ash Ra Tempel and Embryo all have no votes.
Guess i'll go with Amon Duul II this time. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Is "Aera" in the poll supposed to be "Area", by any chance? I like them a lot too. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

So many favourites of mine listed and could vote any number of ways
I commonly do the same, and/or give it to one whose album I have listened to the most recently. Late last night I was listening to Popul Vuh's Seligpreisung, so will give Popul Vuh a vote. |

Second vote for Egg, but only on the strength of the second and the third album. Haven't tried out the 1st album yet, but I certainly will!

Magma is excellent ! I saw them 4 weeks ago in Bordeaux, France. It was amazing. I particularly liked the live version of Felicite Thosz, their last album. But my vote will go to Gong |
