I don't vote for Marillion very often, but this time they deserve it. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

Rush. Power Windows is one of my all-time faves. The Jewel and The Wake are awesome, too. Many fine choices in this poll. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

| A very easy choice for me, Kate Bush’s Hounds of Love. I love that bushy hound. |

It's nice to see a poll - other than my own - where I know at least half of the albums in the poll, and as for my vote, It's in the trees, It's coming.....

| If the Marillion wasn't there I would easily vote for the Kate Bush. |

| The second 'act' of Misplaced Childhood is brilliant but I think Kate Bush nailed the pop and prog mix perfectly so I voted for that. Seems strange for me not to vote for IQ - The Wake which is very important to me but not aged so well as a recording. The Wake Live is much better imo. |

For a brief moment there, I hoped Tears for Fears might be on ProgArchives, but sadly not, although I'm not disappointed that Phil Collins isn't here on PA.

I noticed Phil Collins is the only member of Genesis who isn't on PA as a solo artist, which is fine by me on Face Value.

Kate Bush head and shoulders, although Tears for Fears and Dead Can Dance aren't bad at all. |

I have to vote for Kate Bush. Hounds of Love holds some very special memories for me. Seeing that list I have to say 1985 looks better than I remember it. A good year for Rush, Marillion & Tears for Fears. There's a few there I haven't heard (Supertramp & Fates Warning) Have to say though, I never rally 'got' the Dire Straits mania at the time. Talented band. Somewhat boring to my ears though. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

| The Wake! But only by the tiniest smidgeon over Misplaced Childhood. TFF made a wonderful album too, and Afterburner was the first album that really told me I was a rock fan... |
