In Absentia will always be a personal favourite. Some really good ones here and three that I'm not into at all.

Obviously the three Porcupine Tree records are absolutely phenomenal and are probably the best records here, but I can't NOT vote for Moon Safari—they're just so f**king good. 
I use they/them pronouns (feel free to ask me about this!)

If Porcupine Tree doesn't win this one it's because they won too many years.

They have pretty much won this conclusively, having 18 votes (even if split between albums), which is more than any other artist in this poll. The albums the votes are split between are not that different from each other, so it reasonable to assume that if only one of them were present in the poll, the majority of those 18 votes would have gone to that one album - utterly trouncing the nearest contender, King Crimson.

This is true but it is also true that nothing is certain yet. The Crims have a pretty good chance, since the votes of the albums count, not of the artists.
If KC win, I'd be pretty Happy With What I Have to be Happy With. Big smile

Actually my own view on this one is a bit schizophrenic, because Fear of a Blank Planet in my view is number four out of the PT albums in the poll and the only one that I find clearly inferior to Power to Believe. So now I'm not necessarily backing PT in this one. If it was Deadwing or In Absentia competing with KC, it'd be a different story. Lightbulb Sun by the way is a fine album as well and deserves a vote at least.

Voted for the least popular Porcupine Tree album on the list (Lightbulb Sun). The Moon Safari is a great album as well.

Porcupine Tree take the lead on this poll, with King Crimson and IQ closely behind.
Very interesting results so far in the second phase of Random Album Clashes!

And someone effed up this poll by casting the tenth vote for Crimson. LOL
I am joking, of course, but I was just going to register 'Fear of a Blank Planet' as the winner. In this case, however, we will have to wait for another vote - just one single vote for either Porcupine Tree or King Crimson could decide this! Let's see who is going to win!

So it is King Crimson who take the win and go to the finals with 2003's 'The Power to Believe'!
Prog on!
