That's a tough question since I'm not sure what my single favorite prog album is.......there are a handful I like equally.
For the sake of the thread...I'll go with ITCOTCK by KC, and say Moonchild is my 'least favorite'.
One does nothing yet nothing is left undone.

Doesn't necessary mean the song is weak. It could just be a song you don't like as much as the rest of the album.

I'd say Close To the Edge and Siberian Khatru, which is a great song but overshadowed by two of the greatest prog songs ever recorded.

Same for me---but could also pick Selling England and More Fool MeSmile


Or SEBTP, and TBOEF.....

I know that some call TBOEF "The Battle of Effing Forest", but I really like that song; it is the 2nd best on the album (after "Firth of Fifth")

"Siberian Khatru" is actually my favorite song from CttE

For me, "The Human Equation", and "Day 12: Trauma".  It's all relative, but if I had to pick a weak day, that would be it.....

He did say "least favourite" - that doesn't mean it's weak.

A Trick of the Tail by Genesis is probably my all time favourite prog album. My least favourite track is the tile track.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Almost seconded. I'd pick Siberian Khatru, even though I still prefer it over many tracks off excellent albums.

My favourite album is Wish you Were Here, but I can't warm up to Have a Cigar as much as I love the rest of the album.

How remarkably wrong you are about that one song when you are right about the rest

My choice for favourite album is probably not shared by anyone here (except for Jean), but when you watch your little four year old kids enjoying an album that much because of the fairy tales told to them by the voice and the music it becomes your favourite one. It is a mother thing.

I normally nominate Holger Czukay's Movies, but I can't really name a least favourite song on that one. Going down the ranking from there, the title track on KC's Discipline is somewhat lamer than the rest, and "Leave It Open" on Kate Bush's Dreaming is a remarkably bad song on such a good album.

At least it's not Thick as a Brick. LOL

No, it is "Fairy Tales".
