15 albums from 15 different sub genres all rated 48th in their respective subs. One vote. Well, there's four really strong albums here for me. From Xing Sa, Ingranaggi Delle Valle, Birth and Gosta Berlings Saga. I went with GBS here. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

^ I should have had that Gilgamesh album included with the top four I listed. Making it a top five. I say this because I have it in my "best of" Canterbury list I just realized, making it an automatic favourite. My memory failed me again. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Arena ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson |

I love that Gösta Berlings Saga album. Also Clannad, but vote for the former. ------------- I make typos so you see I'm not a machine, but I may be a machine pretending to not be a machine. |

First vote for 'Banks of Eden', which is definitely a top 3 TFK album for me. Other strong contenders are present on the poll, too.

This one and Pepper's Ghost were my favourites back then. I haven't heard their last four studio albums though. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

One of about ten modern RPI albums I hold in the highest esteem. I really like this one. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

A couple of new names mentioned here. I don't know the Hackberry but Heavy Prog is definitely my thing. I do have that Blind Guardian, it's been so long though. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

I have six of these options, those being the Gilgamesh, Gosta Berlings Saga, Herbie Hancock, Cluster, Samla Mammas Manna and Xing Sa albums. I went with my most listened to album by GBS, Detta har hänt. I also like Sersophane muchly from GBS, by the way. Cluster is one of my favourite acts, but I've been much more into subsequent albums. ------------- 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. |

A lot of us feel this was their best. I'm still on the fence about getting their latest though. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

I wish I had this one. I had felt the previous three albums weren't that great at the time so I got off the bus here. Then later tried to find it without success. I actually don't have their last seven save for "Look At Me Now" which was sent to me wrongly.  ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

This might be the best of their first three. I like the guitar on this one. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

They are still going strong it appears. Double digit releases when it comes to studio albums. Another band I lost track of. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

I'm such a fan of this one, I could have easily voted for it. Once it clicked I was hooked. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Last comment here(probably) but this vote made me happy because I considered voting for it jut because I didn't think it would get a vote. Amazing album from the former Astra boys. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |
