Another great year for prog, especially with Gentle Giant, Egg, VDGG, etc., but sticking to the "Big 6", which is your favourite album and why? 

You can probably guess mine Tongue Lizard, ITWOP, and Time And A Word would all be 5-star albums though.

Thanks for any feedback Smile

Very difficult to choose.

It's between both Crimson albums and ELP for me, and Trespass aint to shabby either. What a year..can't vote..
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Three candidates for me, although neither is the Album of the Year: Atom Heart Mother, In the Wake of Poseidon (an improvement of Itchycock imho) and ELP's self-titled debut. I vote for Atom Heart Mother because I have a long history (more than 41 years) with this album.

^Well, my history with AHM is not so long... but enough to say that I love every single track from this PF album, surely It will keep being my favourite of them.
+1 for Atom Heart Mother.

First to vote for ELP.
Their first album was groundbreaking.
2nd I'd put Genesis, but I think they came closer with Nursery Crymes. None of the others even come close.
Thank you for supporting independently produced music

Trespass, followed closely by Benefit.
It just "feels" right!

It was close between Trespass and Lizard, but Trespass has the unique beauty and atmosphere that wasn't quite captured ever again. Lizard has the title track, which is wonderful - but the other songs aren't as consistent as the Trespass collection. 
Crushed like a rose in the riverflow.

Very hard poll !! I choose "Lizard" but its not easy for me. Lizard is a unique album. Unique sound with dark atmosphere. "Lizard" and "Islands" are "Different albums" in KC's discography. You cant find this kind of "Dark Music" easily.

Trespass has actually moved me to tears.  Can't that about the rest though I do have and like them...
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
