This was part one of 23 part series of albums that are included in both Prog Archives and RateYourmusic, and with another topic on "prog" albums in RYM, I thought I would revive this.

These would all be contenders for me:
Radiohead - OK Computer
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
Godspeed You Black Emperor! - Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven!
Yes - Close to the Edge
Sigur Rós - Ágætis byrjun
Frank Zappa - Hot Rats
Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick
Kraftwerk - Die Mensch-Maschine
Camel - Mirage

But if I really had to choose just one, then I'd go with my first love and the amazing compositions and playing on Close To The Edge.

Yes, 30 votes so far and not one for King Crimson's debut. Amazing! I could understand it if it was Larks' Tongues in Aspic in the poll instead. Tongue


Then you dont understand Crimson fans, LTiA would receive more votes.

This is a super strong list, with Herbie Hancock, I would have preferred it to be the next ranked album with Sextant (I think it was, love that and Crossings).

For this list, I particularly love (in RYM ranking order):
Radiohead - OK Computer
Godspeed You Black Emperor! - Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven!
Miles Davis - In a Silent Way
Kate Bush - Hounds of Love
Björk - Vespertine
Swans - Soundtracks for the Blind
Talk Talk - Laughing Stock
Can - Future Days
Comus - First Utterance
Kraftwerk - Die Mensch-Maschine
This Heat - Deceit

But I really liked and have loved many more albums in this poll. It really is an impossible choice, but this year especially Soundtracks for the Blind has been such an important album to me that I will give it a vote -- hardly an auto-vote, however. It's a really long album that I find really satisfying.

This is a ridiculously strong list with some 5-10 albums that I'd rank top in most polls where they appear. I'd be very happy to vote for Kraftwerk or This Heat, who don't appear that often, however I will vote honestly and Laughing Stock is a top 5 of all time album.

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

Too many good stuff. Can't vote.
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Very tough, picked Radiohead, could easily have gone for

Crimson
Can
Black midi
Floyd

Probably half a dozen others
