Eloy. That album captured and combined the sounds of Meddle-era Floyd and Animals-era Floyd better than anything else I've heard, and still managed to infuse enough of Eloy's own unique footprint to avoid sounding like a knockoff tribute band.
Or something.

Jade Warrior's Floating World all the way. At turns ambient and beautiful, in others jazzy, in yet more world-beat, and in yet others absolute madness (you haven't heard anything until you've heard Monkey Chant), all in two extended suites.

I'm a big Jade Warrior fan, but for some reason that album fails to fully grab me, it's my least favorite album by them. Their latest album Now has grown on me enormously and IMO is their best album.

Without Atom it would have been the best Eloy album

Amazing list! There's a lot of great albums in there but I can't deny the genius of Atom Heart Mother so here it is.

Tough list.
It was a hard choice between Jade Warrior and Eloy for top spot. Went with Eloy. Almost all the groups here are good but they all have albums i prefer over the ones listed here.
My top 6:
Eloy
Jade Warrior
Sensations Fix
Ozric Tentacles
Hawkwind
Floyd

Hard choice.....and like Progmatic said those are not necessarily their best nor my favorite ones.....but I flipped a coin and Atom heart Mother won.

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

I am currently digging:
Hawkwind, Rare Bird, Gong, Tangerine Dream, Khan, Iron Butterfly, and all things canterbury and hard-psych. I also love jazz!
Please drop me a message with album suggestions.

To be fair, I think Atom Heart Mother is one of the best albums ever, but seeing this poll, it's fair to say it doesn't need any help from me. I voted for Arthur Brown's Kingdom Come. That Journey is just so frigging good. Love that corny kitschy drum machine. Sounds like those old organs with the large buttons, which would give you some wonderfully snuffling rumba beats, salsa, waltz and other such ballroom rhythms.

I felt like that for a long time as well. Now I've just given up on them.

As I like to say - 'The cocktail rhythms on Uncle Arthur's Yamaha organ'  There's a story that goes with this but it's long-winded..........
.....the short version - a comedy skit show has an old man character (Arthur, played by Glen Robbins) who's always wrapping up his segment by going over to his organ a pressing a button and out comes a Bossa-Nova or Samba rhythm.....

Nice little outro
Just for the record, outside of Journey, I've never ever come across a successful usage of this device. Seriously. I'm not quite sure how it works for that album, but it does - in spades!
