Thanks for the poll, Drew. This looks like a list of all the albums I didn't have room for in my poll, where the only album I know is Flame Dream - Out in the Dark.

Difficult choice between Eskaton - 4 Visions and Dün - Eros. Finally I decided myself by Eskaton - 4 Visions but only by a thin hair.

I like the Metheny/Mays release best here. Also of note are Eno/Byrne and The Police. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

| Many great releases ; Byrne and Eno- Bush of Ghosts- life changing masterpiece . followed by Eskaton; Univers Zero, and Dixie Dregs' |

They were called The Dregs when "Unsung Heroes" was released. Not Dixie Dregs.  That release gets my vote.

| Tossed a vote to However, since Sudden Dusk is a nifty album that receives little love. Check it out y'all. |

The ones I was missing in the other poll included here:
I might have voted for The Residents - Mark of the Mole if it was here. Kraftwerk - Computer World is a favorite too -Symphonie pour le jour où brûleront les cités is amazing, but almost identical to their 1976-debut (so I don't really consider it)

Again, awesome variety in choices (and tastes). I love the surprise of seeing a "non-prog" band's "most proggy" album leading the vote getting. (I speak of Ghost in the Machine, of course.) ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

| By 1981, I had lost almost all hope of hearing a good level prog record. Even the Italians seemed to be lacking. During that time, I came back to jazz and especially to Miles Davis. It's true that I didn't know all these records. Today, I would say that However and Exodus are my favorites on this list. |
