No prizes for guessing who I'm voting for this time around. Smile 
I'd only planned to have a Best British First, Second and Third Album poll originally, but the polls have proved so popular that we're now on the Seventh Album poll with one more still to come. Smile
 
I'm predicting this poll is going to be a battle for first place between the YES Relayer album and Genesis' Trick of the Tail album. Smile

Gonna go with A Trick Of The Tail, although Red comes very close.

Really would like to vote War Child in this, but to be honest, it´s Red. I believe it will give some challenge to Trick & Relayer.

Free Hand by some way over Relayer, TOTT and Floyd's often-neglected masterwork Obscured by Clouds. New England is also a very good album, but it isn't prog!

Pretty much this although Obscured By Clouds is equally close to me.

To be honest, I've never heard the New England album. I only included Wishbone Ash because they were in the first six album polls. Smile

King Crimson's Red among all these jewels of progressive music, just half a hair ahead of War Child.

Van der Graaf Generator - World Record over Yes - Relayer and King Crimson - Red.
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.

To be honest, I've never heard King Crimson's "Red" album. I stopped listening to King Crimson after hearing their "Lizard" album. Smile

Tough poll. I was heavily drawn towards Red, but my love for Relayer just pushed it over the line on this occasion.

Honourable mention for Gentle Giant's "Free Hand" though, which is one of my favourite GG albums

Hope you´re heard at least "Starless" from it, it´s the second in my all time songlist!
