You're on a roll, another nice poll. I'm voting for BdSM's Darwin! over Dzyan. I also have enjoyed Yes Fragile (my favourite album when I was 17), Brainstorm's Smile Awhile, Wishbone' Ashe's Argus, Passport's and Nektar's albums as well as the sturdy Thick as a Brick. By the way, this site is running slow as molasses for me right now. |

Yes, it's been like treading through treacle today waiting for a page to load, but at least I've only been blocked three times so far today.

Several personal favorites on this list make for tough voting! Went with Fragile though now I wish I'd shown some love for Second Passport or A Tab in the Ocean. ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

very hard not to vote for TaaB here.... but, should outs to Nektar and Beggar's Opera for excellent albums! ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson |

Can't choose between Fragile, Argus and Trilogy ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

Yes's Fragile was released in the UK on November 12, 1971. In the U.S. release date was January 4, 1972. Go with US release date for this poll, and it's Fragile for me. Not far behind is Trilogy from ELP and TAAB by Jethro Tull. All great albums. Not on your list is Close to the Edge, my all-time favorite in any genre. Gentle Giant's Three Friends, my favorite GG album and Octopus, another classic from Gentle Giant. Foxtrot from Genesis is obviously legendary in the Prog world that would be on my list. Miles Davis's, On the Corner from the Fusion category and Steely Dan's debut, Can't Buy a Thrill and Chicago V from the Jazz Rock category are albums I think quite highly of that would be in my list of top releases from 1972. |

I'm always confused about when Fragile was released! The Yes Album is 71 and Close To The Edge 72. I know that but what is the releasing 2 albums in a year malarky all about

The baffling absence of CTTE aside, my vote goes for the prog masterpiece that is TAAB. [And has been observed Fragile was released at the back end of 1971.] ------------- "Christ, where would rock & roll be without feedback?" - D. Gimour |

Thick as a Brick. I'd do anything for a bag of random photos of lawn chairs. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

| I voted Argus but could have easily voted Thick as a Brick. As others have stated Fragile was released in 1971 in the UK so technically it's not a 1972 album even if it was released later in the US. |
