Hard to choose something over Caress of Steel but Just A Game is my second choice.

still plenty of choice (though less than for the first two polls), but I went for Strange Universe (Mahogany Rush), thpugh I could've gone for Webster's Mutiny or Guess Who's Canned Wheat.

L'Heptade, Travers & Triumph were also good choices

BTW, I hope Pat Travers' Go For What You Know is going to be on the fifth album list. Wink

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I agree it's their best and  that the opening and closing tracks are two of their best, but I don't think it's a great album.  Still probably my preferred album from this list.  FM's is close to as good but lacks the highs of "Silent Knight".

It's definitely better than Images at Twilight and anything after. "What's It Gonna Be?," "Time to Go" and "Help Me Out" are fantastic.
