No way! Where did you dig that poll from?
And by the way, may I raise your attention to the amount of votes on this poll (all of them are unique and counting at 65 as of now) as compared to what the heavy prog polls are getting these days (around 20 more or less). Unhappy

'The Final Cut' for me, even though essentially it was (and it wasn't) Roger's first solo album.

Out of the ones listed I chose IQ (Lush Attic) but I would have chosen Marillion (Script) or Bacamarte (Depois do fim) if any of those two were options

If it were not for Cardiacs being present in the poll, I may well have voted for Pink Floyd. I suspect it would have been between Final Cut and Bowie’s Let Dance. 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️

Some might suggest you aided and abetted this by not including Marillion (who I’m guessing might have been their main competition). And given how you loaded the “random” Coltrane poll, I wouldn’t put it past you! 😜

It’s been a great series of polls, though, and I looked forward to the second series, which I imagine is coming very soon!

I must admit that there is a bit of a truth in what you said, Nick. Big smile

As for the second stage of RAC, it is indeed coming very soon - this Saturday. And since you asked, I guess I can reveal what it will look like.

There will be six polls for each decade that has been involved (60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010s + 2020) and we will have the winner of each year in the respective polls. Again, a week's time should be enough to have some interesting and satisfactory outcomes.
[I guess I will do two decades/polls a week]

And after three more weeks, obviously the third and final stage of RAC will come - the six albums left will compete for the title! Tongue

interesting, to me it is underwhelming compared to earlier albums. 
Not a good album for me. Confused

This was my take too: when I first heard the album I thought that the first four were way above. But over time, Heads or Tales actually grew into one of my favourite Saga albums too. Such a shame though that the mix is so terribly bad (if someone knows a good mix of this one, please let me know - both my LP and CD suffer from too much highs...).
