Thanks! This is the best year of the 21st century so far for me, where I had to somehow whittle a list of 35 albums down to 25 for the poll. I've included a couple of 2-star albums too, as I know from past experience that the albums I rate the lowest usually go on to win the poll.

There's also no shortage of prog albums to make up the 25 needed for each poll. The hardest part is deciding who to leave out.

That makes two of us who are underwhelmed by The Mars Volta. I prefer to explore Mars with Hungarian band Solaris instead.

I think you should try a little harder with VDGG though... Present isn't a classic, but it's certainly better than the 2 stars you've awarded it.

I'm afraid you're fighting an uphill battle with trying to turn me on to VDGG's 2-star Present album, especially bearing in mind I've given a lowly 2-star rating to the classic Pawn Hearts album too.
I did give a full 5-stsr rating to VDGG's two 1970 albums though and I even went out and bought them too, so The Least We Can Do is Wave to Each Other in showing our appreciation for those two particular albums.

^^ no disrespect Paul, but that is the most non-sensical set of ratings I've ever seen!
5 Stars for Least & H to He (Masterpiece) and 2 for Pawn Hearts???? (their greatest work and the one that, even by their own admission, the former two albums were leading up to?)
Besides that, World Record is their most melodic and accessible (you like that kind of thing) and it only gets 3 Stars??
We implore you to reevaluate...
