Love Beach easily wins here for me, mainly because it features one of my all-time favourite ELP songs.
 ELP - All I Want is You |

Yep! At least Hot Space was an attempt to try something new. And while it didn't always work (there's some really cringey stuff on it), there were quite a few tracks I still enjoyed - Action This Day, Staying Power, Under Pressure, Put Out the Fire, etc. Not to mention, the album was one of the biggest inspirations for Michael Jackson's Thriller - that's gotta count for something! The Works on the hand, is so desperate to recapture past glories in my opinion. Man on the Prowl is just discount Crazy Little Thing Called Love, and Radio Ga Ga captures all the worst aspects of 80s pop rock. There are still a few good tracks like Hammer to Fall and I Want to Break Free, but The Works is the one Queen album I never want to revisit whenever I marathon their discog. Yeah sorry, I'm kinda passionate when discussing Queen. They're in my top 5 bands of all time

I've never listened to Love Beach, but based on what I've read about it, I can't imagine it being preferable to one of my all-time favourite albums. So I'll vote for Brain Salad Surgery anyway.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

I also love Queen, always have. I've always loved Radio Gaga, never had any issue with it. Also best song on The works is the overlooked Keep Passing the Open Windows, the hidden gem of the album.

So an ELP poll is really about Queen?

Glad to see another Queen lover here; I actually vouched for a long time for them to become a full-fledged prog band on the site. Obviously that never happened In any case, I respect your opinion. And I do enjoy a lot of their later work in general. The Miracle has excellent tracks like Breakthru and I Want It All, not to mention the kickass closer Was It All Worth It. Meanwhile, Innuendo is one of my top 5 Queen albums ever. Such a great way to go out for Freddie

Also, I think it's pretty funny how Queen II is still considered a "prog-related" album and yet it's one of the highest-rated albums on the entire site

True, true. Queen II and A Night at the Opera never get old. I think I was speaking more to the fact that a lot of people are stubborn as to what's prog or not on the site

It's not particularly funny, Queen are a prog-related band here. I don't think many people would argue that they are a prog band. |

That's not what I meant; I'm fine with them being a prog-related band. It just kinda amused me that the album rated so much higher than a lot of bands who are actually considered prog on the site.
