Then maybe start a poll with those choices, instead of complaining. Many of us here are looking for new prog to discover.

oh spare me that bullsh*t man.. I ain't complaining.. I've spent years helping people discover this stuff. In direct one and one capacity.. and later my crowning moment
I spent months of MY time in the albums contests first compliling the albums then administering the contest polls... trying to help you all discover albums other than these same old sh*t albums.. as well as catching ones I missed via suggestions.

The Quiet Zone/The Pleasure Dome - a very special and criminally underrated album.

It is indeed and the one I voted for. Over is probably my second favorite here.

Farewell To Kings. ( I "apologize"  for my lack of imagination. It's okay. I'll sleep just fine tonight. By the way, my dreams are quite imaginative )

Well this is just plain daft! How the hell can anyone choose between this array of superb albums. 80% of the list is treasured in my vinyl collection and the other 20% I've built up digitally over the last 10 years too on the old iPod Classic. What a glorious time to be alive! I have to go for Farewell to Kings because it had a major effect on my life in so many ways - but Moonmadness, Songs, Wind, Animals, UK, Leftoverture etc. are a photo-finish away. Piano Concerto No.1 by old Keith still gets me to this day  even if some of the rest of the album is less essential.

Moonmadness. One of my top 10 albums of all time. But there's some good stuff on the list!

Some albums I like quite a bit in this list. However, they pale before this one:

nothing to do with tastes Cristi... just the lack of imagination and progressiveness in said albums. Prog by the numbers... genrefication (© Micky 2006) and losing the original sprit that made teh music so fresh and vibrant is what killedt the scene in its first incarnation more than anything. Oh it still existed.. which is part of my point.. it just found in critically acclaimed.. but commerical failures like.. Kew Rhone.

Haha too true. I'd probably say my favourite on the list is either Animals or Leftoverture, both of which I'd call solid 4 star albums. But I'd put any of the following leagues above anything in this list:
Bubu - Anabelas Crucis - Los Delirios Del Mariscal Rayuela - Rayuela Gotic - Escenes SBB - Memento z Banalnym Tryptykiem Return To Forever - Romantic Warrior Weidorje - Weidorje Magma - Udu Wudu Opus 5 - Contre-Courant Laurent Thibault - Mais On Ne Peut Pas Rever Tout Le Temps MIA - Cornonstipicum Harmonium - l'Heptade Sloche - Stadaconé Arco Iris - Los Elementales Weather Report - Black Market Novalis - Sommerabend Ragnarok - Ragnarok Brand X - Moroccan Roll Tangerine Dream - Stratosfear CANO - Au Nord de Notre Vie Ashra - New Age of Earth
