Definitely. I don't think a single one will be too much of a blowout like some of the first ones.

Yeah, I see what you mean, but I hope not. I really like ELP and I definitely don't understand their stance on this site. I love Rush even more, but I'll admit that it's more understandable for them to be more controversial, but ELP? Man, as you pointed out though, Camel over Magma by a landslide really says something. LOL

Yeah, I agree. I really like Moonmadness alot and I like some of their other stuff decently too, but I agree completely. Magma didn't click fully on me until a few weeks ago, and I've been listening to them so often since. The music is completely brilliant. They really need to print a Kobaian dictionary so I can learn all of the words, haha.

Magma grabbed me hook line and sinker from the the listen.. of the first album... but I started with the album to start with. The debut album Kobaia.  God .. I will be buried with that album. LOL

I actually heard the debut first too, a few months back, and I loved it. But for some reason, I listened to 1001 Centigrades, thought it was okay, then heard MDK, and I didn't really know what to think. Because I've been getting into so much music lately, they just kinda disappeared out of my listening habits...but they're easily becoming one of my favorite bands ever already now and MDK is one of my favorite albums.

the only one that really grabbed me off of 1001 was 'Iss' and that mainly for the live version on the Live at Bruxelles 1971 album.  wow... much better than the studio version.

Hmm... then maybe I need to hear that. Iss was the first song I liked as well, but now I really love all of Magma's studio albums that I have. I consider myself bordering on Magma fanboyism since I rank the albums like this:
1. MDK StarStarStarStarStar
2. Kobaia StarStarStarStarStar
3. Udu Wudu StarStarStarStarStar
4. Wurdah Itah StarStarStarStarStar
5. Attahk StarStarStarStar 1/2
6. K.A. StarStarStarStar 1/2
7. Kohntarkosz StarStarStarStar
8. 1001 Centigrades StarStarStarStar

Or something like that. Haha.

Even though both have awesome and regrettable addtions to their discographies, there's absolutely no doubt in my my mind that Yes is the vote
Thank you, God of Rock, for this chance to kick ass

I'm not able to completely understand Gentle Giant, so I have to go with Yes despite Jon's vocals.
