What do you think? For me it's "Snow", though I got into it a little later than into other their albums. You could say what song you like the most as well. "Flow" from The Kindness Of Strangers for me

"Snow" is probably the best album, although there are really cool songs on all of them, "Flow" definitely being one.

Snow just seems like a remake of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway to me, but not as good. I voted for V, because The Great Nothing's awesome.

I've never understood why people rate LLDOB so highly. Even Tony Banks in a recent interview didn't rate it as highly as WAW. Said the story and concept was weak! The second side is just a rehash of the first in parts! 'Snow' is a much better album, stonger storyline and better songs IMHO!

To me, 'V' is just solid throughout so it got my vote.  I also have a soft spot for 'Kindness of Strangers', though understand its not everyone's cuppa.  I think 'Snow' could have won if the 2nd CD was as strong as the first, but IMO it tails off badly towards the end, and as for the third CD of the box set; it rarely gets a play!

Oh and I forgot to say, 'The Great Nothing' is the best track SB have recorded by a country mile... although for me it would be closely pushed by quite a few Transatlantic tracks, like 'Stranger in Your Soul'... (are we allowed to mention Transatlantic in here??!!)

I hope we are, because Transatlantic are wicked. Not just Stranger in Your Soul; I think All of the Above and Duel With the Devil are great too.

The Light is fantastic. One of the best debuts ever.

Snow is deff. a close second.

I voted for "The Kindness of Strangers" as it was the first one I heard and never really liked another SB anywhere near as much.  "Snow" is good but there's too much filler, IMO.  And bits of it sound a bit too "off-Broadway" for my liking.  Their recent "Octane" album can't even be classified as Prog IMO.

I don't think "Octane" be so bad or unprog album. The suite is very enjoyable, sometimes make me remember Pink Floyd songs... Specially the solos by Alan Morse, in a gilmourian style.

Octane is a very good album that is severely underrated, very catchy
