Everybody doesn't have to know that, Atavachron, and anyway, why to react like this?

Another rule of this club is that particularly Honourable Members will be appointed.

To become one of the Honourable Members, you must be fond of at least one album by each of The Three Big of Eclectic Prog.

I can reveal that I'm curious about who will show to be the one most fond of The Big Three of Eclectic Prog. So to me this thread is like a kind of poll - but it surely has a slow start. Ermm

I wager it will NOT be me:

King Crimson - 15 titles

Gentle Giant - 11 titles

VDGG - 0 titles

It won't be me either:-

King Crimson - one album

Gentle Giant - none

VDGG - two albums

And the big three would be Gentle Giant, King Crimson, and Van der Graff Generator?
