It's a tough call, but i choose Magma's Kobaia. It's just the best albums of that year

FZ's "Weasels..." but VDGG's and Floyd's efforts are close.

I voted Third.
 
My top 10 prog albums from this year would look something like this:
 
1. Third
2. Trespass
3. Atom Heart Mother
4. H To He Who Am The Only One
5. In The Wake Of Poseidon
6. Weasels Ripped My Flesh
7. John Barleycorn Must Die
8. Yeti
9. Deep Purple In Rock (if that's actually a prog album)
10. ELP
 
However, the two last ones could easily have been exchanged for If I Could Do It All Over Again, I'd Do It All Over You and Lizard.

Clap  great album.. and wonder who seriously considers Trepass the best album of 1970  hahah


ELP - ELP   hands down... best debut album in prog...  from the opeing neo-classical  salvo to the famous moog solo...


This thread must've been posted while I was away... So many fantastic albums (quite a few of my 5-starred favs too), but my vote also went to the wonderful, self-titled ELP debut. It can boast of one of the best opening tracks ever, the immensely powerful, Hammond-driven "The Barbarian"Wink, as well as the lovely, wistful "Take a Pebble".

Other than that, out of this list I'd also mention Caravan's impossibly long-titled second album,Soft Machine's "Third",  High Tide's self-titled second album, and Traffic's marvellous "John Barleycorn..". And of course I agree 100% on the monumental "In Rock"...Heart

I don't know, I'm between Trespass and Atom Heart Mother. I think I'll go with Trespass, as I listen to it more often. I love Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast though, at least partially due to the name of the song.

Another good list. "H to He" just barely edges out the other contenders. Only because I happen to be listening to that more right now. "Magma (Kobaïa)" is right behind, with "John Barleycorn Must Die" in third.

I can only eliminate the Curved Air and the Quartermass albums.
 
I cannit seem to choose, so I will pass
 
 
These things (polls) get much easier by the mid-70's


Its hard yes, but I'm currently obsessed with Magmas debut. Must have played it ca. 25-30 times the last three or four months. That's almost a full working week! My top three of this year are in my alltime top 20.




ClapClapClapClapClap   that's 5 clappies for you....

that album has worked it's way into my top 10 alltime fav prog ablums.. love it ..love it ....love it....
 
Actually I must say I should re-listen to that one because most us Kobaians point to MDK, 1001 or Kontarkhosz



just noticed this Hugues... well on re-listen.. .what sayeth thee....   


Kohntarkhosz  was the the longest time my favorite Magma album and still love it however .... Kobaia has bushwacked it so to speak hahahha.   Then again, what do I konw,  I've never been inducted into the elite fraternal order of Kobaians either... I always figured it was because  I was a bit too...  odd.. too be Kobaian..LOLWink  Oh well... let me know what a fresh listen did for you...
