Your favorite, everybody's worst (and vice versa)?

Omg...my love for HYPERBOREA might be on par with Phaedra.
Oh man more 1980's magic up my butt again. Hyperborea Is an amazing album.

Everyone stop what you are doing and go buy that album. I'm serious. Christmas must come early this year. Lol

^ should also check out the Edgar Froese solo album Pinnacles which was recorded more or less the same time as Hyberborea. Has similar synths and a similar stark wilderness based theme based on the Australian outback..

'Pinnacles' - very good album indeed, but hats off for the 'tron drenched 'Macula Transfer'.  'Stuntman' is quite under-appreciated - with titles like 'Drunken Mozart In The Desert' or 'Detroit Snackbar Dreamer', perhaps 'Scarlet Score For Mescalaro' - it's gotta be good, right ??

Tangram and Le Parc just didn't do it for me though.. haven't heard much of the other albums post Force Majeure, it seems like there's a lot more good stuff still to check out  Good to hear you like those ones, Mr Morse (if that is your real name!) Also good to see more attention given to Glass Hammer's `Perelandra', probably their first really strong work, although I do like that `One' recording that fits in essentially before their first album. Doesn't sound much like typical Hammer stuff, but is a grand work in it's own right.

I've got to hear that "One" album, it seems to be pretty obscure as I haven't seen it really anywhere (even on online stores etc.) Or maybe I have just been looking in the wrong places. And no, Morse is not my real name I'd love to be somehow related though.

Before the times of PA, I'd probably say A Passion Play, but on here it's widely considered a regular masterpiece - with unspectacled hare and all...

^Agreed.

I like most of Froese's solo work including the very ambient Epsilon in Malaysian Pale. Stuntman is great heading more towards JM Jarre territory to my ears.I  like the brightness of the sound and ideas on that album.

I like Epsilon, but especially his solo debut Aqua. Never heard any later on.

My favorite Camel album is Breathless, and most prog types feel it's a step down from their earlier days. On the other hand, Moonmadness is my least favorite of their 70s albums, though side 2 is pretty sweet.

My favourite Dream Theater Album is WDADU, it is actually one of my favourite Prog Albums of all time. And my all time favourite Rush Album is A Show of Hands, as it sums up so perfectly the best Rush era.
Like some one else mentioned here, I also don't really like JT's Aqualung, it is probably my least favourite Tull album. As a big Spock's Beard fan I also have to admit that Snow is to me the most boring and irritating Beard album.

and I think Big Big Train's weakest Album is The English Electric Prt 1
