Another 3's: 1973, 1983 and 1993 releases

Led Zeppelin ( Favorite album from them), Pink Floyd ( Favorite album from them) and King Crimson ( Second Favorite album from them) get my votes.

This wasn't easy, but as for now these five feel like the ones I should vote for:

Bauhaus - Burning From the Inside      
Alain Goraguer - La planète sauvage
Eddie Henderson - Realization
Dedalus - Dedalus
Magma - Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh

But it could have been any of these:

Spirogyra - Bells, Boots and Shambles
Franco Battiato - Sulle corde di Aries
Gong - Radio Gnome Invisible Vol. 2 - Angel's Egg
Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy
Ralf Nowy - Lucifer's Dream
Henry Cow - Legend
Faust - IV
King Crimson - Larks' Tongues in Aspic
Cocteau Twins - Head Over Heels
Codona - Codona 3
Dead Can Dance - Into the Labyrinth
Pram - The Stars Are So Big, The Earth Is So Small...
Stereolab - Transient Random-Noise Bursts with Announcements

For your 1983 list you could have included:
BRUCE COCKBURN The Trouble with Normal
XTC Mummer
AMENOPHIS Amenophis
JEAN-LUC PONTY Individual Choice
MARK ISHAM Vapor Drawings

1993:
JOHN MCLAUGHLIN Time Remembered: John McLaughlin Plays Bill Evans
CYNIC Focus
IONA Beyond These Shores
PATRICK GAUTHIER Sur les flots verticaux
VOIVOD The Outer Limits

Thanks for the responses.

Actually not. I've been using my Awesome Prog lists of favourites while not using what is already in John's list and your list contains not only none of my favourites of mine but I know none of those (okay, I think i have heard Amenophosis but my memory is getting worse and I just woke up and I have liked Mark Isham stuff). That said, I would appreciate a choice track or tracks from any of those albums that you think would fit my tastes well (just to wet my wil.., um, appetite). It's not that I don't like enough from 1983 and 1993 to list more, it's that I love 1973 and wanted to list all of those as favourites of mine. I did leave off some that I thought may be too obscure or not get any votes like Konomi Sasaki's Ninjin (which also is not in PA or "Prog").



Be lovely to see some companion polls by you, by the way, covering albums that neither John nor I have covered (you did something similar in response to Paul's polls as I recall). I feel like someone like essexboyinwales would bring a lot more variety too becuase he is into some music avenues I have not much furrowed (more melodic rock/metal).

Here are my Awesome Prog lists for both of those years:

Cocteau Twins - Head Over Heels (listened extensively) [AP Non-Prog]
Art Zoyd - Les Espaces Inquiets (listened extensively)
Codona - Codona 3
Eskaton - Fiction

I have to vote for the fantastic Sulle corde di Aries, without vote up to now.
Behind that there are many candidates. Pink Floyd and KC don't need my vote, so I go for Bjork, Dead Can Dance, Faust IV, Magma, and Henry Cow. Ouch that's six, so I won't vote for one of these.

A wonderful collection of albums I must say. Trying to imitate Ed Grimley here, which doesn't work that great in print.
I have six that stand out.
Dedalus
Franco Battiato
King Crimson
Pink Floyd
Henry Cow
Eddie Henderson
