VDGG - the quiet zone / pleasure dome
PF - The final cut
Caravan - Waterlo lily
Soft machine - fourth

ELP - Black Moon (very underrated)
PFM - Jetlag (gets low rating just because it's not a symphonic prog album, but a fusion one) The Nice - Elegy (although a compilation, one of their best IMO) The Who - By Numbers (most Who fans loathe this album, I love it for it's lack of 'rawk' bravura) David Bowie - Outside and Scary Monsters are both hated by followers of the thin white duke, but I love 'em. (Whoops, Bowie ain't really prog is he ?) |

Well, Cacho, I guess A PASSION PLAY is ALSO in my top-3 of favourite JT albums. (On the other hand, I've never been able to enjoy TAAB, except in the condensed live version.) I know APP drags a little at times, but it's got so much to offer! As for 'Teakbois' (on AWBH) - it's so silly I LOVE it!

To be honest I listen to Tormato more often than I listen to Fragile. To me Fragile is ok, but there are albums that they have done that I do prefer and The YES Album is one of them. Depends on my mood. I guess I am just tired of hearing Roundabout all the time, great song that it is.

I wouldn't go so far as to say I like it over Fragile or Relayer, but still I applaud you liking of Tormato
 .Release Release is a fine tune! |

I love Yes's "Tormato". I understand that a lot of people don't like it for various reasons. Some hate the fuzzy effect that Chris Squire put on his bass. Others hate the fluffy Jon Anderson songs like "Circus of Heaven". Some hate it because of the cover.
I hear the complaints, but I still love "Tormato". I loved it when it came out and I still love it 30 years later. I think it rocks as hard as Yes ever rocked ("Don't Kill The Whale", "On The Silent Wings of Freedom") and yet also has some of their most exquisitely delicate and beautiful songs ("Madrigal", "Onward"). And man do I love "Release, Release"! Personally, I prefer "Tormato" to "Relayer" and "Fragile", even though I know that's blasphemy to some. |

The most underrated prog album ever is easily the debut album by Flash.

What I like that most of you might hate. Being the YES fan boy that I am I pick Tormato. I think the album is great from start to finish.

Here's one I've loved all my life: Electric Light Orchestra - Time (rating 2,91)
Ist the future and Jeff Lynne's in love with a heartless robot: Yours Truly 2095 She is the latest in technology Almost mythology But she has a heart stone She has an i.q. of 1001 She has a jumpsuit on And shes also a telephone. 2095, 2095, 2095, 2095 I love you, sincerely Yours truly, yours truly... ...Maybe one day Ill feel her cold embrace And kiss her interface... Love the concept, love the songs and sounds. |

That's not a majority. Just a rather vocal minority. |

it's hard to bite ze tongue, isn't it? I do think of popping in and saying "I'm enjoying this compilation of Chinese noise music right now; you wouldn't like it." now and again but there's really no point ;P I'm just glad a few people read my KC review I posted at the start. |
