Tales from topographic oceans is the first album that comes to mind for me.

Pawn Hearts, Tales, and Ummagumma are definitely among my favorites for those 3 bands.

It's gotta be Pawn Hearts, as well as pretty much everything in Extreme Prog

I guess it's a love it or hate it? But whether it is or not my favorite from the list is Pawn Hearts. I don't really see Ummagumma as one whatsoever though.

Like everyone else so far, I voted for Pawn Hearts. My other faves on the list are MDK and Ummagumma.  My "other" choices would be for Can's Tago Mago and Tangerine Dream's Zeit.

This.

And it also happens to be the best of the list.

Between MDK and Pawn Hearts for me. But being PH has 7 votes already and MDK has Zero, I'll go with MDK

I don't love Brain Salad Surgery but I certainly don't hate it at all either. Same goes for Stardust We Are, but BSS gets my vote. 

I really don't like any of the others at all.

I don't hate any of these albums but I quite like BSS. I'm not sure I understand the poll. Confused

Pawn Hearts is the obvious choice.

But I do love Lumpy Gravy and MDK as well.

Hmm...

Never knew MDK was a "love it or hate it" album. I chose it anyways.

You know, it's funny I thought about adding Can's "tago mago" but I really don't know if it's polarizing enough. I also thought of Zeit strangely enough. I'm not that familiar with it and only heard "tago mago" once so I suppose it's just as well. Good to see them mentioned though. Another one I could have and probably should have added is Echolyn's "mei."

Another careless omission on my part. I actually think this would have been a better album for this particular list than TAAB which I don't think is all that polarizing.

It's simple. I'm referring to albums that fans typically tend to either love or hate. There often isn't much middle ground. Genesis had one that I didn't put on here(something about a lamb Wink).
