I've come up with twelve:

Camel: Stationary Traveller
Genesis: Genesis
Pink Floyd: Final Cut
Marillion: Fugazi
Marillion: Misplaced Childhood
Steve Hackett: Highly Strung
Rush: Signals
Rush: Grace Under Pressure
Pendragon: The Jewel
Pallas: The Sentinal
IQ: Tales From the Lush Attic
IQ: The Wake

I have so much more.

This is easy.  I kick them both to the curb.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Like a lot of 80's music (with the exception of KC) Both sound pretty bad and uninteresting to me today---but I used to listen to them.

Camel: Stationary Traveller  Definitely not. Awful album

Rush: Grace Under Pressure  Not awful but not better either.

I don't understand the disdain for Big Generator! 90125 has Changes but it is all 80's studio gimmickry! At least on Big Generator they try to be a bit more progressive. IMO you can't be the studio production on the two singles, lush perfection IMO.
A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

I agree with every one of those choices bar Genesis. All the others are excellent albums.

Normally, I agree with you on just about everything, but Stationary Traveller is one of my favourite Camel albums - and Fingertips may be my all time favourite Camel track.

Why don't you just edit it?
I don't understand when people correct typos or ideas in a second post instead of just using the "Edit Post" feature. 

Anyways.. 91025.

How do you decide between two really bad albums which gives progressive rock a bad name. I honestly prefer ABBA,


you are close minded I guessUnhappyUnhappyUnhappy

Yes, if you someone doesn't like album you do, they're close minded. Love that logic!

And furthermore, why do you create polls if you don't give a damn about opinions of others?



I create polls to see results and the "I don't care" portion are my opinions on the albums, see it betterWinkWink

90210 was the primary reason I gave up on Yes.  I went along for the ride for a little while.   I knew they were trying to make Yes commercially viable again....
