Though not being a big fan of H-era Marillion, I nevertheless vote for Brave. That is a fine album Clap .

Awake was for me DT's first great album whilst The Division Bell is a ton better than I thought when it was first released, it's really grown on me over the years.
 
The vote however goes to the Roine Stolt album.  Witness the real birth of The Flower Kings.  Whilst this album perhaps isn't as good as some of the earlier TFK albums the best tracks are simply the work of genius.

The Division Bell, normally a very underrated Floyd album although it's doing rather well in this poll!  Second for me would be Dream Theater's Awake.

Album of Yes puts all of the mentioned on shame (maybe except for Awake, but it's still a lot better)

I'm with Crimhead. Floyd was over.
 
No "Talk" listed? Beats Division Bell by a mile.
Guess there's more Rabin bashing to be done. . .Unhappy

Brave-one of the best concept albums ever IMHO. It's dark, which some people don't like, but for me it's the most interesting of all of these. I like several of those listed, but Brave is just special.

The Division Bell contains one of my fave Floyd songs : High Hopes.


One of my best achievements in life was to find this picture :D

And give up to one of their absolutely best songs like High Hopes? And What about Rick Wrught's effort on Wearing the Inside Out?

Am I the only one that thinks that PF should have quit after A momentary lapse of reason?

Holy crap, a poll in which I like almost everything.

Don't care for Citizen Cain or Stolt, but assuming the Ozric album is as good as the others, all those albums are 4 stars or above.

No vote.

I'd take your suggestions over everything in the poll. Same would go for Tortoise's debut (probably my pick) and 5UU's Hunger Teeth. U Totem's Strange Attractors is not as good as their debut, but good enough to mention.

Agreed - it wasn't a great time for Prog, although King Crimson's double trio was lumbering into existence and assorted RIO bods were still making intermittently interesting noises.
 
From that list I think I'd go with Arborescence - Ozrics were one of my favourite live bands of that era and I still enjoy their albums from time to time.
