When faced with such difficult choices, I default to first love. 'The Lamb' - bought on holiday when I was 13 and still love it. Yes, ELP, Oldfield and the Hawks snapping at it's heels.

I was looking for Magma's debut in the list and was tempted to vote for it, but I decided to vote for an old friend in Space Ritual.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

It would be easy just to go for Genesis or Zep here, but I'm giving a vote for Renaissance: Live At Carnegie Hall which is a very fine album indeed...

From the list, Zeppelin.
However, Gentle Giant "Playing the Fool" would get my vote if it were on the list, but I know Giant is not for Paul.

I'm not playing the fool when I admit I never knew Gentle Giant had recorded a double album.

If Greg Lake's side of Works 1 wasn't so lackluster I could have
easily put it at the top of this list. Unfortunately he chose to go soft
and wussy. Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti YES - Tales from Topographic Oceans

Don't think it's fair to include double live albums or compilations (LitP)
Even partly live albums (Cream, Floyd and Santana) should not be in, IMHO I went witrh Electric Ladyland, even if the lengthy Voodoo Chile is live in the studio.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

Many albums I love in this list. Jethro Tull, Genesis, Cream, Chicago, BJH, Yes, etc. Hard to choose one.

If I'd included Rush and Gentle Giant in the poll, then I would've canned the Can and Magma to make room for them, but that probably wouldn't have gone down too well with Can fans, seeing as Tago Mago has already picked up a couple of votes. Anyway, I'm going to Exit... Stage Left now before I dig an even deeper hole for myself.
