So many classic records at that time; what an incredible year for progressive rock.

My choice has got to be.....

Wait for it....

Not right away...... (Wink)

Close to The Edge, and by a wide margin for me.

Foxtrot. Maybe it's not the easiest vote, but Foxtrot is essence of progressive rock IMO. Second TAAB from JT and then Yes's CTTE.

My Take is:
Close To The Edge - 5 stars
Thick As A Brick - 5 stars
Foxtrot - 5 stars
Trilogy - 5 stars
Obscured By Clouds - 3 stars

3 of my 4 favorite albums (besides Larks which beats CTTE and Foxtrot) are on this last...but I must go with the song that went to number one and constitutes my favorite album ever, Thick as a Brick.

Ugh, could only choose Foxtrot because the question specifically said "favorite."

If it said "best" then a gun to the head would be needed to decide.

I've always considered Foxtrot the weakest of the Gabriel era, but it still fares well with all due respect to the competition. I could've voted for Aqualung over Foxtrot, but that's the wrong year. Thick as a Brick, nice, but doesn't quite surpass it.

My preference would go

CttE > Foxtrot > Obscured > Thick > Trilogy

In 1972 I first heard the album Close to the Edge by Yes. At that time, I thought that this was music at its height of perfection. Now, some 42 years later, I am of the same opinion. If, some day in the distant future, someone looks into the historical records under the topic of "Progressive Rock Music", they will see this:
"You never had the things you thought you should have had and you'll not get them now..."

Jethro Tull, Thick as a Brick.
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.
