| I'll go with Per un amico. Moving Pictures, Tubular Bells, Mirage and In the Land of Grey and Pink are great, too. |

Tough call. Went with In Absentia - my gateway drug into PT. But, could have just as easily gone with Caravan, Camel or PFM... ------------- He neither drank, smoked, nor rode a bicycle. Living frugally, saving his money, he died early, surrounded by greedy relatives. It was a great lesson to me -- John Barrymore |

I . . . think I've only listened to three of those (Rush, DT, Oldfield). I think I tried In Absentia once, but it was in the background while I was working, so I don't remember much. Still so much to listen to . . .

There actually is one I have not heard here, Opeth, but since I am not a big fan of theirs I can dismiss them from my considerations; and I thought I would be considerate to Marillion and give them their first vote. After that, Oldfield, Rush, Camel, and Caravan. Good list. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

I guess I never really sat down and listened throughly to Images and Words or Misplaced Childhood and I never will - but that won't prevent me from voting for Mirage just ahead of Per un Amico. |

Some good albums there but when I choose from these 'favorite' lists I always judge by .....what if I had only that album to listen to and for me it would be Caravan,,,,I could listen to that over and over but some of those others would get on my nerves after awhile. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone.

I'll give it to Tubular Bells ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

| PFM. Per un amico is one of my favorite albums of all time. |

| Tubular Bells for me, even though there are many other albums I love, like Moving Pictures, Misplaced Childhood, Mirage. |

That's exaclty why I never want to see that movie. Tubular Bells is too good to allow it to be marred by impressions from The Exorcist. |

The only one I haven't listened from beginning to end is Opeth's one I think, or maybe I did, not sure. But I love all other other ones. Moving Pictures is maybe in my TOP 10 prog albums, so I'll go with that one. ------------- I shook my head and smiled a whisper knowing all about the place |

First Mirage, then Grey and Pink. The only one that I don't like too much is Supertramp. In the 80s I played Misplaced Childhood and The Wall in a (poor) cover band. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie.

Caravan. Lots of great albums up for grabs though. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

not going to do it... I can't vote here. Not honestly. A shame it is a great album..great in spite of the bands fans who think all the other crap the band did was good ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Two on my absolute favourites – PFM’s `Per un Amico’ and Caravan’s `In the Land of Grey and Pink’ on this list...so I've decided to go all Two-Face and flip a coin to decide their fate. ***** P.F.M gets the vote from the coin toss, but it’s pretty much a faultless album anyway!

Most of these are not amongst my favourites by the respective bands except Rush, Caravan and Oldfield. I'll go with Caravan. |

| I was listening to Opeth's Still Life yesterday and thinking what a beautiful album it is at times. That gets my vote today but tomorrow it might be PFM or Rush. |
