Nektar is probably one-eyed among the blind here.

Although this isn't their best album at all.

Lot's of great options, in which only my mood can make a decision. Since my current state of mind is pretty light, airy and ready for some fun involving friends & booze, I'll go with Curved Air. My favorite of theirs with lots of catchy stuff.

Several excellent lp's up there but I have always had a soft spot for that Spring thing.

A bit surprised at all the love for Comus.....it was one of the first cd;s I picked up when I started to get into more obscure prog about 20 years ago. I always found it a challenge to get into and downright annoying at times.

Wow, a lot of choices. Sheez. Earth & Fire and Polyphony both recorded awesome albums. Not sure which to vote for.

What a year! First Utterance by Comus wins though.

My vote for Act One

BTW from 1970 by some sources http://www.beggarsopera.co.uk/discography.html

I was just going by what year it was listed on PA. I don't think I've heard it but I have heard their next three albums.
