I instantly chose one of the best 80's prog albums, Asia Minor's `Between Flesh and Divine', but all of the following are all a proud part of my music collection:
Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso - Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso Syd Barrett - Barrett ELP - Brain Salad Surgery FM - Black Noise Novalis - Brandburg Opeth - Blackwater Park Spock's Beard - Beware of Darkness Marillion - B'sides Themselves/Brave Very conflicting poll, my loyalties could have easily gone for that knockout Banco debut too!

The spider and I sit watching the sky on our world without sound. Weave tiny web to catch one tiny fly on our world without sound. We sleep in the morning. We dream of a ship that sails away, a long time away. From Eno's Before and After Science. It sounds better when sung. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

In no particular order, though I'm unclear how Brain Salad Surgery and Benefit are designated B albums. ELP - Brain Salad Surgey Eno - Before and After Science Hackett - Bay of Kings Mahavishnu Orchestra - Birds of Fire Jethro Tull - Benefit Jade Warrior - Released ------------- A curse upon the heads of those who seek their fortunes in a lie. The truth is always waiting when there's nothing left to try. - Colin Henson, Jade Warrior (Now) |

Howe's Beginnings was his most seminal album right out of the gate while his band was on hiatus after Tales'. It all could have ended up as Yes music, for the most part. Second only to Squire's Fish' among the spate of Yes solo projects of '75/'76. Followed by 'Tull's Benefit (an evergreen of a piece from 1970), ELP's 'Surgery, and FM's Black Noise. ------------- "It just has none of the qualities of your work that I find interesting. Abandon [?] it." - Eno |

BSS and Benefit on this list (good list!!) Voted other (tie between): Beyond these shores - Iona Bridge across forever - Transatlantic

That's probably because BSS is one of the greatest prog albums ever and should not be on this list! |

Still can't vote but it would definitely be Birds of Fire, followed by Barrett and Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso. Art Zoyd's Berlin should be an option as well.

But it does start with a 'B'.........btw I would choose Benefit or Birds of Fire over BSS any day of the week.....BSS as well as the other ELP albums always end up having some 'cheesy stuff' on them. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |
