The "Big Six": 1971

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   A few classics in here, so I imagine this will be a difficult vote for most! 
Nursery Cryme and Aqualung are incredibly tight for me, but I'll have to give this one to my beloved Genesis again The Yes albums are right up there for me too - four 5-star albums!

	A tossup between Tarkus and Meddle, Meddle wins the toss.

	I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

	Nursery Cryme, then Aqualung, then Meddle (Echoes is the best thing here), then The Yes Album. Not much between all of them.

	Cryme, such a great pastoral album. I love Fragile too though.

	Fragile, just before The Yes Album and Nursery Cryme. But my favorite track off all of the albums in the poll is the "Tarkus" suite.
