LOL  Amazingly, you can have so much check about it, Paul, but I still think it would be best and easiest with a list of those who have already voted.

Despite JD's best efforts, ELP have not regained their 'Big Six' status.

I shouldn't try and read too much into this but it is interesting to see Tull and Gentle Giant well behind ELP. Nowadays that's not what you expect given that those bands have way more albums in the PA Top 100 and ELP's debut (and only entry) is now only just about clinging on at No 91. Perhaps I will leave the site when it drops out completely (cue a the rash of 1 star reviews Wink )

Not much else to say. No Caravan as already mentioned but also no Big Big Train and Eloy but those would only be my personal choices.

You leave Henry Cow alone, they can have Spocks Beard spot.
