Richard, If ELP is included, their debut album and 2nd album, Tarkus would take the top spot in my list with the other bands included in this poll. I will come back to respond, but starting with the Yes Album, Yes is going to run up a number of top rankings per release. |

I could have ignored the thread I suppose and it may well that my post will be considered trolling. I'm not having a good week though and now a bit pissed that ELP are no longer considered important enough to be incuded in a discussion like this. They are still very much a 'big six' band. I think it is possible to include them on the basis that Pictures at An Exhibition and Emerson,Lake and Powell are in the running order. That still only makes 11 albums so maybe Three To The Power Of Three could be a twelth as 2 of them were in that band. So it could be 1. Emerson, Lake and Palmer 2. Tarkus 3. Pictures At An Exhibition 4. Trilogy 5. Brain Salad Surgery 6. Works Volume One 7. Works Volume Two 8. Love Beach 9. Emerson,Lake and Powell 10. 3 To The Power Of 3 11. Black Moon 12. In The Hot Seat on that basis Debuts In The Court Of The Crimson King Emerson,Lake and Palmer Yes Seconds Stand Up Trespass Tarkus Thirds Nursery Cryme Benefit Trilogy Fourths Foxtrot Aqualung Fragile Fifths Brain Salad Surgery Close To The Edge Thick As A Brick Sixths Lamb Lies Down On Broadway Meddle A Passion PLay Sevenths Red A Trick Of The Tail Relayer Eights Dark Side Of The Moon Minstrel In The Gallery Going For The One Ninths Wish You Were Here And Then There Were Three Tormato Tenths Animals Drama Duke Elevenths The Wall Abacab Black Moon Twelths Stormwatch The Final Cut Shapes It is ironic that just maybe I could be exiting PA after 20 years when I've just handed in my notice of my job of 30+ years |

I don’t consider my list to be like some definitive declaration of my preferences, and it is quite arbitrary in various places. It may give a general idea of my preferences when it comes to some of the biggest names in PA, and is an exercise undertaken in the spirit of fun. |

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

I tried, but gave up. In just about every year, something felt wrong no matter what.

Thanks, Mira. You're formatting looks so much better and more economical than mine, by the way. And while my list only went to 11, yours goes two higher! Nigel Tufnel approves.

Comparing the albums of Genesis, Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Yes by order of release. Feel free to cover as many of these, and more, if you like, and you need not do all five albums from each. I plan to do a second edition with some other big names like VdGG and GG. I chose 11 for my cgoices to go up to The Wall specifically. Pink Floyd and King Crimson are my favourites generally of these, but of course it also depends on which specific releases we are comparing. In some cases choosing the order was a toss-up. Some years I love all, others only one or two. Here are the first 12 albums per band in chronological order for reference: Genesis: From Genesis to Revelation Trespass Nursery Cryme Foxtrot Selling England by the Pound The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway A Trick of the Tail Wind & Wuthering ...And Then There Were Three... Duke Abacab Genesis (aka Shapes) Jethro Tull: This Was Stand Up Benefit Aqualung Thick as a Brick A Passion Play War Child Minstrel in the Gallery Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll: Too Young to Die! Songs From the Wood Heavy Horses Stormwatch King Crimson: In the Court of the Crimson King In the Wake of Poseidon Lizard Islands Larks' Tongues in Aspic Starless and Bible Black Red Discipline Beat Three of a Perfect Pair THRAK The ConstruKction of Light Pink Floyd: The Piper at the Gates of Dawn A Saucerful of Secrets More Ummagumma Atom Heart Mother Meddle Obscured by Clouds The Dark Side of the Moon Wish You Were Here Animals The Wall The Final Cut Yes: Yes Time and a Word The Yes Album Fragile Close to the Edge Tales From Topographic Oceans Relayer Going for the One Tormato Drama 90125 Big Generator -------------------------------------------------------- Here are my choices in favourite (1st) to least favourite potition. Debuts 1. In the Court of the Crimson King 2. The Piper at the Gates of Dawn 3. This Was 4. Yes 5. From Genesis to Revelation Seconds 1. A Saucerful of Secrets 2. In the Wake of Poseidon 3. Trespass 4. Stand Up 5. Time and a Word Thirds 1. Lizard 2. Benefit 3. More 4. The Yes Album 5. Nursery Cryme Fourths 1. Islands 2. Ummagumma 3. Aqualung 4. Fragile 5. Foxtrot Fifths 1. Atom Heart Mother 2. Larks' Tongues in Aspic 3. Selling England by the Pound 4. Thick as a Brick 5. Close to the Edge Sixths 1. Meddle 2. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway 3. Starless and Bible Black 4. A Passion Play 5. Tales From Topographic Oceans Sevenths 1. Red 2. Relayer 3. Obscured by Clouds 4. A Trick of the Tail 5. War Child Eighths 1. The Dark Side of the Moon 2. Wind & Wuthering 3. Minstrel in the Gallery 4. Discipline 5. Going for the One Ninths 1. Wish You Were Here 2. Beat 3. ...And Then There Were Three... 4. Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll: Too Young to Die! 5. Tormato Tenths 1. Animals 2. Songs From the Wood 3. Three of a Perfect Pair 4. Duke 5. Drama Elevenths 1. The Wall 2. Heavy Horses 3. THRAK 4. Abacab 5. 90125 --------------------------------------------------- Hope to see some other list covering as many of these albums as you know and like. :) EDIT: I opted to change the title to make it for any lists, which I should have done to begin with. My original choice of doing 11 by Genesis, JT, KC, PF, Yes could have gone better. No sleight to nay other band (say with ELP I know and like very little by the band and so it's my ignorance). Mind you, if I were just focusing on my faves, then probably only KC and Pink Floyd would have been listed. And I have rarely listened to Pink Floyd in over 25 years. Of big names, I'd rather do VdGG, Magma and a host of others than Genesis and Yes based on my interests. I seriously love music, but I treat these as more a bit of fun.
