One four star over another:

Godspeed You Black Emperor - F# A# Infinity
Radiohead - OK Computer

-and I don't like that two star album of yours either - what's happening here?

(I quite liked Discipline - Unfolded Like Staircase about fifteen years ago too. But haven't listened to it since)

Lots of good and great albums here. Nice list, Paul!

I could have picked some other stuff, but this could be my only chance to honour a particular band...

I'll go with Fates Warning - A Pleasant Shade of Gray. I think John Arch is the more impressive singer, yet I tend to like FW with Ray Alder, better. It could be because, I came across with FW's music quite belatedly (in 2005 or so). Also, frankly, FW have never been one of my favourite prog metal bands. They are one of the pioneers and giants of the sub-genre, for sure. I respect them, and I love at least one of their albums. Haha. That's better than nothing, huh? Embarrassed

There's something happening here, What it is ain't exactly clear... For what it's worth, I only own three albums in this poll:- Radiohead; Genesis: & Dream Theater

Thanks, but I have to give Wikipedia the credit for the choice of albums in this series of polls. Embarrassed

F# A# Infinity for me, with Ok Computer as a runner-up. 

Also, I'm surprised that Homogenic isn't on here Smile  (I know Bjork is a more contentious inclusion, but she IS on the site)

Discipline without any context. The only album outside the classic era in my top 5.

Went with some live PT but would have picked Art Zoyd, Fig Leaf, Sinkadus and The Smell of Incense ahead of the rest.

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

I'm voting for Radiohead over Godspeed. Five other favourites of mine from 1997 of the both Prog (whatever that is) and not Prog (whatever that mneans) from the year are:
Art Zoyd - Häxan
Stereolab - Dots and Loops
Portishead - Portishead
Robert Wyatt - Shleep
Björk - Homogenic
