Each of these records has been an all-time favourite of mine. KC's debut was the one that got me into prog more than any other, Dark Side was my favourite before I knew what prog even was, CTTE is the archetypal prog LP, and Supper's Ready is possibly the greatest song/suite ever written. These 4 (plus Selling England) are probably the only "classic" progressive albums I consider under-rated, if anything. So a long story short, no vote Confused

Sing alone now boys and girls .... I know what I like and I like what I know .... Smile

COtCK is part super and part dross for me. I've never been overly awed by DSotM but overrated ..... would that I could have made made such a ridiculously successful piece of overratedness .... though I'd rather take less money and have my name on Wish You Were Here.

Crimson King is my least favourite but that doesn't mean it's necessarily overrated. Will not vote.

Ditto, no vote...

"Overrated" (or underrated, for that matter) is a subjective concept. For many people, it simply means "something I don't like".

Floyd for me, because I never liked the band. The others are classics.

All  deserved classics - no overrating as far as I'm concerned.

No vote. There's nothing here that's overrated, over celebrated or over appreciated, IMHO.

I never vote for overrated polls

IMHO Overrated means = Look at those idiots who love what I decided is mediocre.

All these albums have reached their place in the Prog Pantheon, because they deserve it.

I like Foxtrot more, but this doesn't mean I consider the others overrated

The proceeding of "Most overrated artist", which of these albums is the most overrated? Do we have "very popular but not that good" prog albums?
Let's find out!LOL


My vote goes for the iconic prism album.
New album! "A Moment of Thought"
