These three are great. Thumbs Up

Threshold - Subsurface is my favorite, too. I wonder which of their albums is the usual favorite. Confused

Now that is a list of non-favs for most. Although Heavy Horses and Bursting at the Seams get a lot of spins on my record player.

Not sure if those count. Maybe not. Relayer is usually at least number four behind the Bruford/Howe albums though (not counting ABWH of course Tongue). 

For KC my favorite is LTIA but that usually squeezes in at number 3 behind Court and Red. 






My no. 2 fav Genesis album, for a long time it was my no. 1


What's your number one now? For a long time my number one was SEBTP but now it's either 2 or 3 (depending on where I want to put in W&W). 


W & W as I wrote in my opening post.

I've had a think about this and really, I'm very orthodox in my choice of faves across most band's discography. 

Possibly, with Alan Parsons Project, whereas most people go for one of the first two, my favourite is The Turn Of A Friendly Card....

The key is to think of the top three the mainstream non-prog media always mention.
e.g. JT - Taab, pp, aqualung
PF - dsotm, wall, wywh

And if your fave isn't one of those, then..so...
