The top 20 I would say and the best is The Mothers Of Invention - Uncle Meat ------------- "Everyone is born with genius, but most people only keep it a few minutes" and I need the knits, the double knits! |

Wow, finally a list I can work with. So much beauty and splendour. I voted for the Moodies. But Tull and Santana and everything else is just as great. Too bad Barclay James Harvest weren't around in the late 60's.

Soft Machine's - love it! I read somewhere that Wyatt had been inspired by early Chicago when the Softs expanded to a seven piece later that year... |

| I am missing 2 of these (Santana and High Tide) but from the rest, I'm going with The Moodies. Just love Lost Chord, every single note of it. I've recently re-visited my Moodies LP's, (the main 7) and love 'em all. Really special band. |

I just feel bad for The Nice, even f%@#ing Chicago got votes  Stand Up is just dull and ironically Monster Movie is arguably weirder than Trout Mask Replica, even if just for the incomprehensible vocals that make Captain Beefheart sound like Chris Martin.

1. Uncle Meat 2. The Thoughts Of Emerlist Davjack 3. Volume Two 4. Ummaguma 5. Trout Mask Replica Sorry could put the Nice in first spot but like the Nice always have and is better stuff than ELP ------------- "Everyone is born with genius, but most people only keep it a few minutes" and I need the knits, the double knits! |

Any band with Keith Emerson and Davy O'List in was never going to be Nice, maybe that why they called themselves The Nice ------------- "Everyone is born with genius, but most people only keep it a few minutes" and I need the knits, the double knits! |

Too bad Barclay James Harvest weren't around in the late 60's. [/QUOTE]Their were already in 1967 (at least), made a few singles and started recording their first album in 1969 :) I really like their unique sound at the time. ------------- You may see a smile on Tony Banksī face but thatīs unlikely. |

I'm more comfortable ranking things if I've just relistened to them. Some of these I haven't heard in some time. But per memory, I'd rank them something like this. Frank Zappa/Mothers - Uncle Meat The Nice - The Thoughts Of Emerlist Davjack Jethro Tull - Stand Up Chicago - Chicago Transit Authority Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica The Moody Blues - In Search Of The Lost Chord Amon Duul II - Phallus Dei Santana - Santana Soft Machine - Volume Two Pink Floyd - Ummagumma Procol Harum - Shine On Brightly High Tide - Sea Shanties Can - Monster Movie |

Fine albums here even though I could never quite listen much to the Beefheart clearly from others views there is something to get. But Uncle Meat gets this vote, this time. Are these all clustered at position 251? ;) |

Yes i agree, In Search of The Lost Chord is excellent
