Aqualung, Meddle, or Fragile. As an album, I think Fragile holds up the best, although Aqualung has higher highs, I think it has lower lows too, and Meddle is really just OOTD and Echoes for me. Fragile it is.

I don't know King Crimson - Islands so I can't vote, but if it was not in this "Big Seven": 1971 list I would vote for ELP - Tarkus as their ground breaking style most excited me. I'd like to mention Le Orme - Collage as another great album to be included too and somewhat underrated, but other people as well would think of many others they would love were included too, there are a bunch of other famous 71' albums that I'm still waiting the opportunity to know.

Genesis' Nursery Cryme for me of course, but I love Floyd's Meddle and King Crimson's Islands. I do like both The Yes Album and Fragile a lot as well.

Fragile---an innovative landmark prog album--with a great beat, original sound and still sounds fresh after all these years. The guys were on a creative roll.

Aqualung again. I hate the production on Nursery Cryme and find Fragile disjointed.

Wanted so much to go for Aqualung, but not against The Musical Box

Tend to think that Fragile has 'filler' rather than being disjointed. Its interesting to me that none of the albums in the list are perfect in terms of flow , concept or not having some less impressive stuff. Each album in the list has amazing tracks though.
I went for Fragile although it was a close run thing with Tarkus. Both albums feel to me like a leap forward and while ELP produced arguably their greatest masterwork with the Tarkus suite I think Yes had the edge with their trio of symphonic masterworks that inhabit Fragile and the filler is at least interesting.
