I actually love all of these choices but A Farewell To Kings on another level...

Hard to choose between Led Zep, Rush, Purple and Rainbow but I went for LZ because it has When The Levee Breaks.

Agreed but Blackmore always made sure that the Rainbow keyboard player could never outshine him. I saw Rainbow (at the Rainbow!) and Carey was mixed really low and stuck behind a pillar so you didn't really know he was there.

Some great albums in this poll. Went with Farewell To Kings.
Not a single vote though for Captain Beyond? Travesty

Rooster, but not a lot of love here, if honest .

There are too many here I don't know, but from the ones I do, Zep IV and Rising stand out.

How great was music back in 1971? It's worth noting that Led Zeppelin IV and Aqualung were being recorded in the same studio at the very same time during December, 1970 through February, 1971.

Easily Uriah Heep, my second favourite UH LP after Demons & Wizards, which contains the fantastic Easy Livin' My top 5 are: 1.UH 2.LZ 3.Queen 4.Rush 5. DP As for Sabotage, I think it is the worst and most boring Ozzy period album. Also, the only bands on here that I consider proggish are DP, UH and Rush. The others are just rock.

Queen II - my 1st Queen album and the one I still consider their best (with 1 major flaw...I can't stand Funny How Love Is). Especially great is the 1991 reissue which includes "See What a Fool I've Been", the original B-side to Seven Seas of Rhye

Recently I have written my review on Quatermass. Five Stars. I love Quatermass.

A bunch of classics indeed. Hard to choose, perhaps my favs being A Farewell to Kings and Queen II, probably the most Prog of the list. As a teen I was much more into Hard Rock and Heavy and I really loved albums like Rainbow Rising, Sabotage or Machine Head, but even then when I heard A Farewell and Queen II they immediately became on a different league. Quatermass is also a great one.
Voted for Rush.

The only 2 of these that I even remotely like, the Quatermass (which I'll bet few people have heard) & the Atomic Rooster, have 0 votes so far. Oh, well. I decided to give my little bit of love to Quatermass, because at least people are familiar with Atomic Rooster.

A bunch of classics in this poll. Vote goes to Rainbow's Rising, an all-around amazing record. Keyboardist Tony Carey shines on that baby!

All great albums. I really cannot choose one, since they all appeal to different moods. I'd vote for all if I could.
