Roughly half the albums here were familiar to me before running this poll, but the biggest surprise was finding how much I enjoyed Tim Buckley's Greetings from L.A, when his previous two albums, Lorca and Starsailor, didn't appeal to me at all. I've never been a big fan of the maudlin folk music of Nick Drake, so I feel the same way as you do about his Pink Moon album. I was a big Alice Cooper's School's Out though, especially in the school summer holidays of 1972 when I was about to become a teenager, with all that that entails, including the start of my prog journey with Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells. Smile

I love early Roxy Music so I voted for them. Maybe Ziggy Stardust is a stronger album (there's no maybe, it is), but it had so many votes already.

Pink Moon is lovely and touching, but I'm one of the seemingly few who actually prefer Nick Drake with a backing band - or some sort of arrangement in addition to Nick and his guitar.

Bowie. Many good albums here but no serious contenders.

Purple just ahead of Bowie. It looks like a little phenomenon steam.

Bowie
Deep Purple
Roxy Music

As much as I dig Alice, "School's Out" is a bit too vaudeville for me.
