5) King Crimson
6) Focus
7) Yes
8) Camel

Le Orme's Elementi might be my favourite album by them but that Kansas album is so strong, not surprising as it was the last Kansas album to feature both Kerry Livgren and Steve Walsh. Vapor Trails is a top five Rush album for me. Then good 3.5 stars albums from Eloy, Crimson and Focus. Yes and Camel are into 3 star territory and the rest I don't know.

	Somewhere to Elsewhere is my favorite Kansas album. Vapor Trails ranks highly for me in the Rush discography. Magnification is a fantastic album by Yes.

	A very simple and much more limited poll this time with no multiple choice.* I decided on seven classic Progressive Rock bands and the first album they released in the 2000s (with Magma I prefer 2009's E-Re to 2004's K.A). Camel - A Nod and a Wink (2002) Eloy - Visionary (2009) Focus - Focus 8 (2002) Gong - Zero to Infinity (2000) Kansas - Somewhere to Elsewhere (2000) King Crimson - The ConstruKction of Light (2000) Le Orme - Elementi (2001) Magma - K.A (2004) Premiata Forneria Marconi - Serendipity (2000) Rush - Vapor Trails (2002) Van der Graaf Generator - Present (2005) Yes - Magnification (2001) Feel free to vote with limited familiarity. You need not actively compare them all and I'm not asking for best. Simply choose an album of these seven that you know and like or even choose based on the tracks below -- I don't tend to like, nor do contests. As this is in Prog polls, here is the longest track off each album for those that might want to check out some music. Camel - "A Nod and a Wink" Eloy - "Mystery (The Secret, Part 2)" Focus - "Blizu Tebe" Gong - "The Invisible Temple" Kansas - "Myriad" King Crimson - "FraKctured" Magma - "K.A III" Le Orme - "Il vento, il cielo e la notte" Premiata Forneria Marconi - "L'immenso campo insensato" Rush - "Secret Touch" Van der Graaf Generator - "Architechtural Hair (did not find it alone on yt) Yes - "Dreamtime" Please leave a comment and say something about your choice. Thanks. * Simple perhaps, but I still felt the need to redo this three times due to omissions. We all have our off days, oh and happy thanksgiving Sunday to those in Canada from this turkey.
