25 of my favourite albums from all-time top 100

Caravan - In the Land of Grey and Pink 

I voted for Genesis, Camel, Caravan, Pink Floyd and KC. I guess like this guy I knew in college who said he was a big prog fan you're not a Yes fan. ;)

Camel, Genesis, Floyd.

Can’t vote from the rest!

Interesting that neither of us included any Yes in our polls…..

From this list:

Too many great albums to make a choice here. Each one has a different mood, so it depends how I'm feeling at the moment, I would vote for many of them. Great list.

^ I considered voting yesterday with exactly the same top choices as Saperlipopette! -- King Crimson - Red, Van der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts, Pink Floyd - Meddle, Gong - Radio Gnome Invisible Vol. 3 - You, Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom -- but then I regretted not choosing some you mentioned as well as others. I very commonly do not vote in my own polls, which might seem a bit unfair. As my wife and many others intone, try to avoid asking of others to do that which you are not willing to do yourself. I do it in other people polls more, but then those are less likely to cover lots of my favourites of course.

That is interesting.

Perhaps we could both be admitted to the Say No to Yes Club. Like the masons, they use "secret" gestures and signals to identify themselves and gains entrance to the gates of No. In this case it involves shaking your head from side to side. If anyone answers incorrectly by nodding their head up and down at the entrance to the No sanctuary, expect it all To Be Over soon. Excuse the silliness.

I actually could have happily added Fragile, which is at number 10, but I had about 28 I cared more about at the time, which does not mean I don't love music on Fragile. And I like Relayer at 20, but have not listened to it in a long time. I'm not a fan of the beloved by many a Progster Close to the Edge.
