Pretty strong selection. Eskaton is my winner, but a good number come close. I have one album by Geinoh Yamashirogumi and I absolutely love it, but that's not the one in the poll. Need to check out more.

Eskaton just ahead of the definitive Hawkwind album and one of the best live albums ever.

I haven't followed all episodes of this poll séries, but here's a bunch of great albums. Difficult to single out one of these favourites of mine:

The Mothers of Invention - We're Only in It for the Money
Laurie Anderson - United States Live
King Crimson - Radical Action (To Unseat the Hold of Monkey Mind)
Marillion - Clutching at Straws
Hawkwind - Space Ritual
Dead Can Dance - Spleen and Ideal
A Silver Mt. Zion - He Has Left Us Alone but Shafts of Light Sometimes Grace the Corner of Our Rooms...
Yes - Yessongs

Maybe I should go with the latter to stay true to my proggie nostalgic self, but Laurie Anderson's United States Live is the most audacious and original - and funny - of all these, so I vote for Laurie.

The razamataz is a pain in the bum

Yessongs has been my go to album for decades now. I prefer the more raw sound of it to the clinically sterile (yet clean) studio recordings of the same era. The performances are energetic and lively. It also serves as a virtual best of collection. Mention also goes out to Genesis, Hawkwind, and Marillion.
The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty"

I opted to give it to Eskaton's 4 Visions, which was an early discovery of mine from PA (before I joined under this account).



I discovered the above tracks thanks to the mp3s hosted at this site, and it blew me away. I got the album quickly thereafter. Definitely Acquiring the Taste was also one of my very favourite albums at that time, and I still love it. I could have voted for those or Dead Can Dance or Geinoh Yamashirogumi. I almost went with the Dead Can Dance album... All loved by me.
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.

Genesis, Marillion, Yes and Blind Guardian round out my ears' choices.
Welcome to the middle of the film.

A Trick of the Tail is my favorite Genesis album, so I'll pick that one. But Nightfall in Middle Earth is a close second Smile
Take me down, to the underground
Won't you take me down, to the underground
Why oh why, there is no light
And if I can't sleep, can you hold my life

^ I heard Blind Guardian's Nightfall in Middle-Earth ages ago. It reminded me of a power metal version of Queen.
