I wonder how The Fountain of Lamneth would have faired in this poll. I think it's somewhat underrated. Personally I enjoy it more than 2112 and Hemispheres.

I think if it hadn't been written so early in their career, when they were still trying to figure out how to write extended length suites and songs, it would have been a lot better.  As it is, it has a lot of really stellar moments and fantastic pieces, but they're held together with duct tape and glue.  2112 and Hems are just smoother compositions, even though Hems at least lacks a moment as cathartic as No One At The Bridge.
