This really IS the final album poll in Part One, after being extended for two more albums.

Time is my favorite ELO album, so I could not resist the opportunity to give it a vote. Others include Horizen, Three of a Perfect Pair, Evolution, The Present, and Drama, which I predict will win even though it has not garnered a vote yet. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

| For a change I've gone for Deep Purple. I've grown to like that album more over the years, even though Bolin wasn't a popular choice at the time. There's some great tracks there. |

| My choice came down to Deep Purple and Yes, and it was an interesting matchup because both groups were going with lineups that people don't generally associate with them. Both albums are good, but Come Taste the Band is actually one of my favorites by DP, and it got my vote here. |

Pink Floyd won the last two polls easily, but there's more Drama this Time around.

I dare not even ask what "QFT" means. I just hope it's not something rude.

Yes and Pink Floyd are the two bands I listen to the most in this poll too, although I'm listening to The Moody Blues at The Present time.

| Camel by far, followed by Renaissance, two more than credible efforts at updating the prog sound to the 1980s |

Pink Floyd - Animals (1977) ------------- 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. |

Should have been Floyd, but after a crap album like The Single Factor, the return of Camel to a good album deserves a vote. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

Here's a quick preview of some of the major artists coming up in Part Three:- Brian Auger Kate Bush Curved Air Darryl Way's Wolf The Enid Family Gentle Giant Hawkwind If Jon & Vangelis Kaleidoscope Greg Lake Man The Nice Ozric Tentacles Robert Plant Quatermass Rare Bird Soft Machine Ten Years After UFO Velvett Fogg Richard Wright

| I'm glad that Curved Air is being included. I think they'll be battling with Gentle Giant for quite a few of my votes. |

Date Posted: October 15 2020 at 09:25
It came down to a choice between Greenslade and Gentle Giant for Part Three, but although I prefer Greenslade, I chose Gentle Giant mainly because they have more albums to their name and they're also generally regarded as being in the "second tier" of British prog. On the subject of Curved Air, I also managed to include Darryll Way's Wolf in Part Three, although it was tricky to decide whether he should be listed under "D" or "W"

I'm assuming whoever voted for Queen's Hot Space album wishes to remain anonymous.

A couple stand out, but a surprisingly dismal list of albums IMO. ------------- Believe me Pope Paul, my toes are clean |

| I guess it might be fitting to do one last such poll, just to contemplate The Wall too. |
Posted By: Psychedelic Paul
Date Posted: October 16 2020 at 14:17
That's fair enough, but the only dismal album for me in the poll is by King Crimson. I hope I can come up with some better album choices for you in Part Three.

I think an eleventh album poll would mainly be a battle between Pink Floyd and Yes again, but I wouldn't like to bet on who would win. Personally, it's a Yes vote for me, but only by a narrow margin.
