We reached the Random Album Clash FINALS! Thanks to everyone who participated throughout all of these, that have been going on for more than half a year now! We arrive at the final poll where we have the six winning albums for each decade covered. You know the drill, vote for the album you think should win and then comment who you voted for. I will kick things off by voting for 'The Power to Believe', as it happens to be my favorite of the six albums that reached this stage. Here are some stats from the 'semi-finals': -The six polls got a total of 368 votes, with the 70s one getting the whopping 75! -The poll with the least votes is the 60s one with just 48 votes -Four albums almost qualified for the finals, as they were just one vote behind the winners; these are, of course, 'So' by Peter Gabriel, 'Fear of a Blank Planet' by Porcupine Tree, 'A Trick of the Tail' by Genesis, and 'Animals' by Pink Floyd -The finalist who collected the most votes during the semi-finals of the RAC series is 'Hybris' with 17 votes, followed closely by 'Revolver' with 15 and 'Octopus' with 14 Another final note, I have some expectations in terms of how the albums will rank in this final poll, but I will not share them yet, as I would not want to even have the possibility to influence the voting in any way. The winner will be announced on 04/06 at 16:10 CET, after exactly one week's time for voting!

Gentle Giant ever so slightly over Rush, then Beatles and King Crimson.

30 votes in and the contest seems to be between Gentle Giant and Rush with GG being just a hair ahead.

Apart from Hybris, I like all these albums, but for me The Power to Believe tops them all...
