A no-brainer - ITCOCK

U.K.'s debut gets my vote. The parking meters approached me about the smell of my socks.

While I think it's fair enough to add an album like Itchycock as long as it's clear. Paul has written in the OP "An eclectic bundle of artists and albums where the only link is drum legend Bill Bruford. This is the first in an all-inclusive series of polls featuring all of the bands and collaborative projects that Bill Bruford has ever been involved with (unless I've missed anyone out). I actually would not in the poll itself that ones that don't contain Bruford. Personally, I would rather just consider the albums that Bruford was involved with but I recognise that Paul likes to go broad and cover whole discographies starting from the beginning. One can always make ones own topics rather than complain about how others make them or critique them. Mind you, unless we try to actively support each others topics (to a reasonable extent) that might not make for a very good experience.

Paul, noting those not containing Bruford would be helpful and more informative to me. I actually would rather not vote for the ones without Bruford, but to know all of those would take research on my behalf. You could even just pan an asterisk beside each one without Bruford and note in the OP that those are not Bruford-involved albums. When it comes to series like this, I do want to feel like I'm learning something from it.

To be honest, I made a mistake including National Health and Pierre Moerlen's Gong here, because although Bill Bruford was an early member of both bands, he doesn't actually appear on any of their albums.
