Crossover & Related I

In my pursuit of finishing my "best of" lists for the different sub-genres I had to deal with Crossover not knowing if I even wanted to a list. That is until I scanned some of the bands and albums included here and decided to do one adding some Prog-Related and Proto-Prog in there too. Mostly commercial sounding music I suppose with some sentimental picks too from yours truly.
Those would be ken Baird's beautiful and fragile Martin Road and from Argentina Bauer and their Radiohead-like record.
Picking Your Wilderness though for being very personal to me.
Oh so three polls of ten albums total coming up worth 30 albums. These are some of the lowest rated sub-genres in my collection but some gems here.

The same for me too. 

This was the surprise of this poll that The Dark Third is right at the top. Jared too eh? I still remember the harmonies being what made this record different for me at the time.
On my copy there's a sticker "Evidence mounting that we are on the brink of a new prog age, and (PRR are) London's own mini Floyd." The Guardian. Some other quotes too on that sticker.

Man this one came from left field when I first heard it. Loved the energy and the talent on display. I knew Avalon at the time from the radio so this was quite the surprise just how raw it was. I knew this one would get some votes.
