Tales from Topographic Oceans

   When TFTO was first released I listened to it all from beginning to end. Unfortunately it became obvious that it was the most pompous, overblown, meandering, pointless composition of the latter half of the 20th century,
I wish I could have that 80 minutes of my life back. I would put on some Rush, Thin Lizzy, or ELP.

	I picked Revealing, though I love all eighty minutes of it!

	It was actually a pretty tough choice. In my opinion the album is brilliant, but my favorite track is definitely Ritual.
