	probably take a proper progish album any day to Yeswest---which hasn't held up to the test of time for me.

	No vote. I am not familiar with most of these albums. I have no problems with The Final Cut. Abacab is mediocre, but it has a few good songs. Jethro Tull's Warchild and Rush's Roll the Bones are two albums that I would give a one star rating. In the case of Rush, it was reason enough for me to avoid their albums until Snakes and Arrows.

	The Final Cut is really great (you're not alone Walton Street), Beat is good, and the others have some good moments. It was between Big Generator and Under Wraps... Big Generator.

	In fact JT Under Wraps I consider as weakest from those above. So JT is "winner" here for me. I don't know Camel's The Single Factor though.

	I haven't heard Test for Echo, but I pretty much like (maybe not love) all the other albums listed. But of the BANDS listed, my least favorite album from any of those groups is probably Calling All Stations - though even that one is just beginning to grow on me.

	Abacab, Under Wraps and Beat are weak albums, but not the worst in their respective bands' discographies. The Final Cut is Roger Waters solo album, with Gilmour and Mason as sidemen. Big Generator is, actually, not too bad at all - not prog, but still a fairly decent symph. I am not familiar iwth the remainder of the listed albums .

	I'll be honest, of the five of these titles listed that I own (the first five, but not the Tull or Rush album), I actually really enjoy them all. Good tunes, good playing - all good! And yeah, I'm with you, Walton, `The Final Cut' is absolutely superb. A career best vocal from Roger on it is just one of the standout things about it

	Hi All, After releasing several masterpieces, prog.rock giants dramatically changed their direction and we'd facing these kind of albums in 80s or later. I just wondering; what is your least favorite album? my vote goes to Yes
