   My five stars:

Tangerine Dream - Phaedra 
Can - Future Days 

Four and a half:

Nucleus - Roots (Nucleus are underrappreciated imo, even by myself. As I tend to forget how great they are)
Van der Graaf Generator - Godbluff
Gong - Angel's Egg 
Magma - Köhntarkösz 

Four:

Camel - Rain Dances 
Caravan - For Girls Who Grow Plump in the Night 
Le Orme - Contrappunti 
Amon Düül II - Wolf City

I used to rate both Köhntarkösz and Godbluff five full stars. But I have to ask myself why I haven't really listened to any them in a few years. I've actually played Rain Dances more often during this period. An album I once couldn't find much enjoyment in.

Phaedra or Future Days - None of them stays in the shelf for very long. To choose one over the other is near impossible.

	In March of this year I did a series of A to Z band-name polls that covered the fifth studio album of many popular, and some not so popular, bands in PA. Over 10 polls I covered about 250 albums. Later I did an A to Z of "artists" series for fifth studio albums. These are the albums included in PA's Prog categories that received a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 10 votes each in the polls. A great many more received less, and various others received many more. Feel free to vote no matter how familiar you are with the options, and this is not multiple votes. By the way, I would have liked to add the Prog Related ones that qualified, those being Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (1973), Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy (1973) and Wishbone Ash - There's the Rub (1974) but then I'd have to squeeze multiples into a line or lines. -------------------------------------------- My top six are: - Can - Future Days - Gong - Angel's Egg (1973) - Henry Cow - Western Culture (1979) - Magma - Köhntarkösz (1974) - Tangerine Dream - Phaedra (1974) - Van der Graaf Generator - Godbluff (1975) With Le Orme's bubbling under. I feel like ADII should be here 2, but I have not heard that in ages and know the earlier ADII much better. I should rectify that. Today, Future Days, Angel's Egg, Western Culture and Phaedra are most vying for my vote, but the mighty Phaedra shall take it. Edited by Logan - May 13 2023 at 00:26
	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.
