Beat is the only one of these I really like. The Floyd one is pretty good too, but I do find it quite dull. The others are, well, not to mince words, bad.... (at least for me as I recall).

Wasn't there a poll similar to this?

Beat for me for Neil & Jack & Me, Santari in Tangiers, Neurotica & The Howler. Not top 10 Crimbo but certainly worthy of the name.

Bippedib-b-b-b-b-bbeats for me.
I do like that Floyd album, but if I want to listen to those songs, then I'll most likely pop on Pelican Lounge of Yonder.

Genesis and Floyd were in heavy rotation in my stereo back when they came out. Although a hard-core Genesis fan, my vote goes to Floyd for this one.

I probably listen to Invisible Touch more than any of the others, so I voted for that. The first 3 are all good though.

Thought Beat is an excellent album. Not necessarily agreeing with Belew's lyrical stance at times (my privilege) but those guitars alone make a good listen.
Momentary Lapse was always fine. I wonder if the anti-change stance is a a certain reactionary unwillingness to accept change in favourite pop groups? (The very word progressive implies change and many people are not that keen on change and that seems to include many progressive rock fans).
On The Turning Away was impressive live, a huge vocal performance on a PF stage definitely something different. But that's being progressive for ya.
Now... to vote...

I love Beat. I didn't realize it was rated that poorly.

2.96?!? Anyone who wishes to denigrate "Beat" can bloody well say it to my face, and then pick his (literally) bloody teeth up off the floor. 2.96 my bloody arse!

For me, at least when it comes to this poll, Beat cannot be beat. It was never a Pink Floyd favourite, but I used to like the Pink Floyd one -- last I heard it I found it rather dreadfully dull.

Pink Floyd A Momentary Lapse of Reason

When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

I love Under Wraps despite the overcooked 80s production. Some great songs, some cool and unusual vibes running through it. And it came with a cool stage production. Martin Barre apparently loves it too, so I'm not all alone! " It's one of my personal favourite Tull albums, even though now I can see that maybe it wasn't the right thing for us to do. We
were making music to please ourselves, which is maybe a bit selfish.
Music should be for everybody not just for an elite bunch of people.
Having said that though, nowadays it is one of the few Tull albums that I
play to enjoy rather than for reference. Funnily enough, 'A' is the
other one that I think sounds really good. But Under Wraps is a great
album." -Martin Barre 1998
