I understand the reasons behind this poll, but the term 3rd rate doesn't sit well with me.
I know these are the 'third best' albums going on the reviews, but of course not everyone agrees with those reviews!
Therefore, I can't vote for Genesis, as that album is my favourite of all time, and I won't vote for it under the title 3rd rate!
 
That applies to others on here as well, but I have voted for Porcupine Tree, although this may be my favourite album by them too! (Incidentally, it should read 'The Sky Moves Sideways', not the World.)LOL
 
I could have voted for Rush, or Marillion just as easily.Clap

    As negative as is sounds, the thread title is accurate. These albums are in third place by ratings.

Van der graaf generator's H to He. Hard to beat the song Emperor in his war room
 
Personally I think that "Lost" and "Pioneers over C" beat the Emperor in his war room but that means this album is realy a masterpiece. The same for me is Trilogy, Animals, Songs from the wood, Udu wudu and the lamb. Mirage is not very far away. And after all my vote goes to Lark tongue's in aspic and funny that I concider it the third in quality after Red & Lizard and still the best from this superb list.
 
Guess which band is my favorite !!! Smile

A close race between Trilogy by ELP and Mirage by Camel. Voted for the former.

Larks' is easily KC's best album IMO.

the mighty King Crimson though should be #2 not #3... a far far better album than Red which I would assume is #2.

Heck A Farewell To Kings is easily better than that motley lot!

Only Animals and The Sky Moves Sideways really interest me from the rest.I've kinda over-dosed on The Lamb and dont really listen to it these days.

Wow, great minds think alike (not that i have a great mind)... I did a thread in much the same way for 4th-rate bands -- a joke title, of course, and had originally planned on doing third, fifth, sixth bands based on the top-rated album of each band in each prog subgenre.. 

Lots of great choices, not sure if I can decide on one at this time.

Lamb Lies Down no doubt. Animals is close, though.
