Hatfield from this lot but could have as easily voted for Gong, Hawkwind, Tangerine Dream, King Crimson, Magma.

I could vote for either "Hawkwind - 'Hall of the Mountain Grill'" or "Hatfield and the North - S/T", but decided to vote for "Hawkwind - 'Hall of the Mountain Grill'".
 
 
No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

You should, there are English versions too, "The World Became The World" for this particular album.

Well, it's PFM and Purple right now, with Gong and Crimson closely behind... Anything could happen! But PFM's early material is great for sure. Smile

Strong list. I could have voted for half of them. Gave it to Gryphon.

Gryphon without doubt, though Burn is very good.

Starless And Bible Black. Hatfield & The North almost surpasses it though.

Different from some others I don't find this selection that strong, several bands I love are there with albums that are inferior to others published around that time, too (i.e. LTIA & Red> SatBB, Rubycon & Zeit>Phaedra, Passion Play & Ministrel>War Child, MDK & Udu Wudu > Kohntarkosz), and top albums are missing, not even the most obvious ones (Rock Bottom, Soon Over Babaluma, Caution Radiation Area).

Ultimately it's still between King Crimson and Tangerine Dream, and I'll give it to Phaedra, which is a key milestone with their way of using sequencers appearing for the first time, and a pretty good album, despite me enjoying those around it more.
