It one of those much talked about gems I get nothing out of, except for annoyance. There's a certain type of dramatic vocals in a lot of 1970's european prog, sometimes resembling rock opera that gets in the way of everything that I could potentially enjoy. Much like the female school of Janis Joplin, (or Eddie Vedder-inspired post-grunge yarling) I'm pleased to observe that it's a use of the male voice that's gone more or less extinct by now. I gave Forse le lucciole non si amano ... two stars (instead of just one), half acknowledging that I do hear the musical qualities, and that personal preference is part of my issues.

I've probably said this before on this site, but the video of that Live in Bloom concert is special. It was recorded in 2010, so the boys are getting up there but the character in Leonardo's voice is something. He sounded better in 2010 than 33 years earlier.

I'm surprised Animals isn't leading. I do have two Floyd albums on here though. They are worlds apart no? Ten years apart but they sound like two different bands. The Syd factor plus that decade in between I guess.

True, and I don't own that one but I see Lyle Mays is on it. Those two alone are worth hearing.

Piper has a good dose of controlled chaos in it that I find mesmerizing. Hendrix is an important psychedelic blues rock album with some real bangers on it. But, it’s gotta be Rush “A Farewell to Kings” … my favorite Rush album. I love the magical interweaving classical and medieval style guitar riffs set within a Prog rock framework. And the synths are really nice … although maybe even better on Exit Stage Left.

Swans-Children Of God is one of those life changing albums for me. I've got maybe 12-15 of those. There was a period in my life (late teens/early twenties) it never really left my discman, and it made all other music seem less signifcant. Cathartic.

These are all important to me as well:

Pink Floyd-The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn
The Beatles-Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
The Doors-s/t
Frank Zappa-Absolutely Free

Lots I really like in this poll.

Me for one. I have loved all you listed. The Piper, Doors and Hendrix are also favourites of mine, and I like the Zappa and Beatles.

As Swans has been so significant to me in recent years, it has no vote, and Children of God is one of my favourite Swans albums, I will give it a vote.

EDIT: By the way, Prog or not, these are the top five I have listed for each of those years:

1967: The Velvet Underground and Nico's self-titled, Love's Forever Changes, Leonard Cohen's Songs of Leonard Cohen, PF's Piper... & Mort Garson's The Zodiac...
1977: Franco Leprino's Integrati...Disintegrati, Klaus Schulze's Mirage, Anna Själv Tredje's Tussilago Fanfara, Floyd's Animals & Univers Zero (1313)
1987: Swans' Children of God, Dead Can Dance's Within the Realm of a Dying Sun, Art Zoyd's Berlin, David Sylvian's Secrets & Thinking Plague's Moonsongs.

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I observed before. It can be much like that with music for me; immersed in experiencing the moment.

While not an all-time favorite, I do consider Supertramp's Even in the Quietest Moments to be one of the best production efforts of that era. The sound is perfect.
