Logan's polls are always impossible for me to give my vote. Standouts for me personally/in the last decade or so are:

Sleeping Giant, Crystal Lake, A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers, Mumps, Moon in June, Lizard, The End, De Futura, Atom Heart Mother, Musique pour l'Odyssée, Song of the Marching Children, Alpha Centauri, Halleluwah, Mixtus Orbis... and of course I love Supper's Ready & Close to the Edge as well...plus quite like - or maybe even love the rest. How the hell am I going to choose one sidelong here over all the others?
Your last decade or so lasts almost five decades? Tongue

The choice would be between 
"Halleluwah"
"Hamburger Concerto"
"Supper's Ready"
"Close to the Edge"
but I'm fond of all of them, see them just as different and can't choose 
- even I'm most impressed of CTTE.

If you take out the obvious three it's a good fight between the others with the Gryphon just edging out the also rans.

Hi,

It's hard to not say something weird or funny about that.

But I always wonder if those folks voting for pop/rock bands, their favorites obviously, know what "Berlin School" is all about ... that is just too stratospheric I keep thinking! Wink

It's hard to not call you a pretentious tw*t. 

Pick a composition that you prefer, state why you prefer it, and keep your insults of other people's musical tastes to yourself. 

What is truly humorous is that you refer to the three favored in this poll, "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers", "Close to the Edge" and "Supper's Ready" as works from "pop/rock bands" -- as if any of the three compositions could ever be considered "pop tunes". I've got news for you, Sunshine, the "Berlin School" is made up of rock bands, same as VdGG, Yes and Genesis. Pompous a**.

I am aware that this may be sacrilege to some people on this forum, but I've always felt that Supper's Ready doesn't have a satisfactory ending.

It was very very close, but I went for Close to the Edge, mainly because I've never been keen on how Supper's Ready ends.

Not only sacrilegious, but blasphemous and irreverent

I cry every time I hear that ending.

I would got to the loo...as soon as you get your head out of there before you drown. Perhaps that explains the nonsense you post: lack of oxygen to the brain due to porcelain permeation. 

Stockhausen and Shankar have nothing to do with the conversation -- surprise! The Berlin School is made up of...rock bands. Rock bands. Each one of them. Nothing whatsoever to do with Stockhausen and Shankar, who were not in rock bands. Please try to follow along. Have your cat help you type.

Some glaring omissions here, e.g. Tarkus & Karn Evil 9 (ELP), Eruption (Focus), Song of Scheherazade (Renaissance), Echoes & SYOCD (Pink Floyd) all of which are favourites of mine, but I'll plump for AHM having reappraised the album over the seasonal holiday period.

Honourable mentions: Hamburger Concerto, Supper's Ready, CTTE.

Just a little bump as I thought this might complement Gnik Nosmirc's very recent Best 20min masterpiece CLICK poll despite any overlap.
