Sky 2....

although the CA 2nd album is great...

Sky 2 is clearly the "best" album here, but the nostalgia is strong with Theme of Secrets. I might have to sit this one out.

Love Curved Air's Second Album from start to finish. Sky typically represent the sort of Progressive Rock I've never cared for.

Although it runs a little too long, Sky 2 is by far the winner here. The "FIFO" suite is the best thing they ever did. If ever there was a "turn-it-up-to-11" epic, "FIFO" (especially the "Watching the Aeroplanes" closing movement) is it!

Sky. It's like clouds and Gary Burghoff and hallway re-carpeting.

Another vote for Sky (but after this they're done), once more head to head with the Curved Air album.

Well you are not as thick as a brick at least Wink

I love that Jobson album but Sky2 is well up there amongst the best doubles of all time imo. I had that and The Wall pretty much on repeat when I was at college in then early 80's.

Bit of a toss up this one between 'Second Album' and 'Sky 2' - voted for the latter as it's as good as Sky got... then it was downhill all the way after Monkman left.

Is it any wonder that the monkey's confused?
