In no particular order:
Marillion - Clutching at Straws ("Sugar Mice", unbeatable) Pink Floyd - A Momentary Lapse of Reason ("On the Turning Away", one of the best compositions without Waters) Rush - Hold Your Fire ("Time Stand Still", "Prime Mover" and "Mission", very good songs) Jethro Tull - Crest of a Knave ("Budapest", brilliant composition that could be on any of their best albums without any problem) YES - Big Generator (It's not the classic Yes, but for me it's underrated, I really like "Shoot High Aim Low" and "Holy Lamb") |

I should've known I was Clutching at Straws by hoping for Pink Floyd to win this poll ahead of the mighty Marillion.

You should be able to vote now that you're a "Forum Groupie" with over 40 points.

If I could vote I'd have to vote Gaudi, because I dream to sing Gaudi in front of a crowd of hundreds. It's my favorite Alan Parsons Project album. Big Generator is a close second. Next would go to Outer Limits. And 4th would be Crest of A Knave.

The best (and possibly only) Canterbury Scene band from Japan, which is about as far from Canterbury in relative terms as the brightest star Sirius is from the Sun.

That Geoff Downes album is a fabulous recording.

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

t's good to see a second vote for TD's under-appreciated Tyger album, when I was beginning to wonder if anyone else would vote for it.

Tangerine Dream - Tyger.
Not their greatest album but London and 20th Century Common Man (both parts) make it worthwhile.

Drew's (BrufordFreak's) series of polls for the same years feature some of the more offbeat albums which I didn't have room to include in my polls.

Why are there two different polls for 1987 and other 80s years?

DCD's Realm gets my vote since it's one of my all time favorites period.

^ Yes, that's why I said "in my view". It might be the worst line-up of albums ever in someone else's view.

The only one I really know well is Yes' BG. Despite the stick it gets, I like it especially the original album side 2, so I went for that.
