Fragile---an innovative landmark prog album--with a great beat, original sound and still sounds fresh after all these years. The guys were on a creative roll.

Genesis' Nursery Cryme for me of course, but I love Floyd's Meddle and King Crimson's Islands. I do like both The Yes Album and Fragile a lot as well.

I don't know King Crimson - Islands so I can't vote, but if it was not in this "Big Seven": 1971 list I would vote for ELP - Tarkus as their ground breaking style most excited me. I'd like to mention Le Orme - Collage as another great album to be included too and somewhat underrated, but other people as well would think of many others they would love were included too, there are a bunch of other famous 71' albums that I'm still waiting the opportunity to know.

Nursery Cryme with Aqualung as close runner up.

Aqualung, Meddle, or Fragile. As an album, I think Fragile holds up the best, although Aqualung has higher highs, I think it has lower lows too, and Meddle is really just OOTD and Echoes for me. Fragile it is.

Tarkus over Nursery Cryme for me.

Fragile, just before The Yes Album and Nursery Cryme.
But my favorite track off all of the albums in the poll is the "Tarkus" suite.

Cryme, such a great pastoral album. I love Fragile too though.

Nursery Cryme, then Aqualung, then Meddle (Echoes is the best thing here), then The Yes Album.

Not much between all of them.
