Best Prog Album

OK, so quoting myself here just to add to the confusion, but oddly my words have turned out to be strangely prophetic! Now I'm really scared!

How does one get to join this elite `Love Beach' club?!

Dude, I did the same thing, and that vote was the tie-breaker. Love Beach is leading the poll for "best prog album" at this moment.

Something you might need to understand about this site, there are dozens upon dozens of members who have wildly different tastes and preferences. The prog world is a very broad one, and not everybody is going to agree with what you do and don't like. And there isn't a single thing wrong with that. We're all individuals and we aren't meant to enjoy the same things to the same degrees. That's what makes prog, and by extension this community, so wildly diverse and interesting, full of many new wonderful discoveries to be made if you keep an open mind. As for the poll, I won't vote. Even though Foxtrot is a great album, it's a far cry, and I mean a FAR cry from the best prog album in my book. But that's just me. I'm very much more a Lamb guy. That's my third favorite album ever, and first by Genesis. The only thing to understand is Foxtrot is best. If you don't think Foxtrot is best, I'll cry too.  Now I can't even work out who's being sarcastic and who isn't, Gabe!

*Sigh*......where's Dean when you need him....?

Also, I'd like to say that Foxtrot is not my favorite album.

This was sort of a joke.

My real favorite album is Nektar's Recycled.

It definitely has to be At King by Deyss.

Yeah, you did say idiots, plenty of us saw it, but you just re-edited it quickly.

Look, you love `Foxtrot' - good for you, you enjoy that album. Go on, put it on now, give it a spin, bet it sounds good. You're obviously very proud of your devotion to it.

But calling everyone else idiots just because they don't feel the same way as you is absurd. Put it this way, I can't stand Jethro Tull, and you know what, pretty sure most of the time one of their albums is ranked as the number 1 album on this site. Do I think everyone that voted for it to get to that rank is an idiot? No! Just means there's a lot of other people that enjoy and appreciate that album a lot more than I can, and good on them.

Just ease up a bit, dial it down a notch...and don't worry, you'll find plenty of other people that love Genesis on the site. They're one of the defining progressive bands for a reason!
