Tough call, for me between ELP, AHM and IWOP. I would have to, however, go with the ELP debut...

1.Benefit  2.Lizard  from the list 

But in general H to He is by far my favourite album from 1970

P.S. Why no VdGG instead of ELP in "BIG SIX"?

ELP. One of the best debut albums ever.

Much more interesting year (competition-wise). Love every album except the first and the last in the poll. Benefit is actually my favorite Tull-album. Fantastic atmosphere and excellent songwriting from start to finish. 

Got to think a little first. Love Poseidon and can't relate to the criticism of it. Perfect its own beauiful way to my ears and the titletrack brings tears to my eyes. But then again Lizard, Trespass and Atom are dear favorites of mine too.

Trespass has actually moved me to tears.  Can't that about the rest though I do have and like them...
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Very hard poll !! I choose "Lizard" but its not easy for me. Lizard is a unique album. Unique sound with dark atmosphere. "Lizard" and "Islands" are "Different albums" in KC's discography. You cant find this kind of "Dark Music" easily.

It was close between Trespass and Lizard, but Trespass has the unique beauty and atmosphere that wasn't quite captured ever again. Lizard has the title track, which is wonderful - but the other songs aren't as consistent as the Trespass collection.

Trespass, followed closely by Benefit.
It just "feels" right!
