| The only one I've heard is Khan. Hillage's best work and Stewart on keys is always amazing. |

If you haven't heard of Illusion before, you may be interested to know they're closely-related to the original Renaissance line-up, featuring Jane Relf (mostly) on lead vocals. This is one of my favourite songs from their second album "Illusion", released in 1978..... Wings Across the Sea |

| I was in a band that supported Magna Carta once in 1976, Albert Hall, Nottingham. Just saying. |

Illusion. Both Out of the Mist and Illusion are beautiful albums. I haven't heard the later ones. You could also include the first two Renaissance albums in their discography since they recorded almost all of them. But with a stellar line up including 2 ex-Yardbirds and future Strawbs member John Hawken, this band could hardly fail to be brilliant.

It's a pity I missed them, seeing as I'm from Nottingham too, although I only would have been 16 or 17 at the time and sitting my exams at school.

It's good to see Khan's Space Shanty is storming ahead in this poll, now it's no longer competing against Arzachel's album.

I know what you mean. Even with just eight albums per poll now instead of sixteen, it's still hard to pick a favourite. It's made a big difference to the Khan vote, now they're not up against Arzachel and England.

Dave Stewart also made an amazing comeback in the 1980's when he teamed up with beautiful Barbara Gaskin (of Spirogyra) for this song...... |

The leading album in the poll by a wide margin..... KHAN - Space Shanty (1971) - The title track and the first song on the album. |

| I'll vote for Cressida as it was one of the bands that opened my eyes on forgotten prog gems (one-two album projects of early 70s)!!! |

| Cressida followed by Khan |

My vote would be split between Cressida and Khan too.
