Classical Crossover Poll

   First two Sky albums are both great. ELP Pictures at an Exhibition was played by my school teacher in his music class, and this played some role in expanding my musical interest. Still great. I vote for these but do appreciate Deep Purple/Lord's material. I haven't heard much from the last four, so they have a hard time to compete. 

I'm not the biggest fan of the Dutch band Ekseption, but certainly they are worth a listen for people who are particularly interested in prog/classical crossover.

	I make typos so you see I'm not a machine, but I may be a machine pretending to not be a machine.
