D'oh! I pressed for SEBTP before realising Larks Tongues is on the list. Never mind.
Mahavishnu Orchestra's Birds of Fire is also worth a mention.
Bloody good year, 1973. They don't make em like that any more blah blah............

Today it's Tubular Bells, mainly because I've just bought the
orchestral version. Otherwise I would split my vote with Selling
England. Second best are Larks', Dark Side and Photos of Ghosts

I voted GG's "In a Glass House", although Magma's "Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh" came very close.

I grew up with "The Dark Side...", so it's for me a subjective choice. I must say it's very close between Genesis and Floyd.
Top 7:
1. Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon
2. Genesis - Selling England By The Pound
3. Gentle Giant - In A Glass House
4. ELP - Brain Salad Surgery
5. King Crimson - Lark's Tongues In Aspic
6. Jethro Tull - A Passion Play
7. Yes - Tales From Topographic Oceans

MAGMA, definitely. Other albums may have sold many more copies, and
may be regarded by many as the cornerstones of prog, but "Mekanik
Destruktiw Kommandoh" (even more so than its two predecessors) gave
birth to a whole new genre of music.

My personal vote goes to "Larks' tongues," but "In A Glass House" is a close second

In a Glass House would be my second choice (GG's best IMO) but I had to go with Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh my all time favourite! Dark Side would be third... or I don't know... many fantastic records listed, really a great year..

Well, Trouserpress, it shows how POPULAR Genesis is on Progarchives and Selling England by the Pound is the most "highly rated" album on Progarchives right? So it probably would receive a lot of votes like that.

It's very hard to whittle it down to one, but nonetheless I'm STAGGERED
that there was nary a vote for GG's storming In a Glass House. You
disappoint me, people.
