I was tempted to go for JT-Stand Up but I voted for Yes-Time and a Word.The reason being is that the jump onto the third album ( The Yes Album)was also sizeable.Whereas,IMHO,all the other bands in the poll gradually evolved.Yes went on in leaps and bounds.The same could be said of Genesis but Yes were still doing
cover versions.So my vote is also for their progression beyond the sophomore album.

Do 'The Stanley' otherwise I'll thrash you with some rhubarb.

Wheres 'Mirage' by Camel?? That was a great follow up album.

I voted for Fugazi by Marillion with some hesitation. I think Tarkus, Images and Words & Trespass were all excellent follow ups.

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

I would have voted for IQ (The wake) but for the fact that the improvement from Tales from the Lush Attic is less than that of Genesis Revelation.....Trespass,

TF and 3rd don't bother voting because we know that you see every poll as ELP Versus the Rest of prog.....It's getting tiresome.....

Indeedy Swinton!.. I guess that's the reason why I hate everything of ELP now.. (and ELP - ELP gives me a freaking headace!) really.. It really is irritating..

ARGH!

the only elp man I love - because of his widespread musictaste, his private has probably something more then just.. elp.. - is richardh..

For sheer progression, it has to be 'Trespass' for me too.

However, on a slightly different track, 'In The Wake Of Poseidon' by KC was one of the oddest follow-ups in that it was virtually identical in pacing/sound to ITCOTCK - listen to both of them side-by-side & you'll see what I mean.

Toss up between Tresspass and Camembert so i THOUGHT i'D HELP CAMEMBERT.

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

3rd Impression... The questions is what's the best followup album. The first ELP album was a debut... Tarkus is a followup...

I, of course voted for Tarkus!

THIS IS ELP

"Acquirng the Taste" is my fav GENTLE GIANT album, so I voted that way.
"Trespass" and "Images & Words" would both be followed by it, or tied for that matter.
3 Great albums!

Peace & take care

Yep, I've got to add my voice to the chorus of "Trespass" appreciators. Night and day really from "FGTR" to "Trespass"

Marmalade...I like marmalade.

Absolutly Genesis 'Trespass'Compared to their 1st album,this was certainly a revelation,without a doubt.Best move Jonathan King ever made was pass on them.Thank you John Anthony.
