For me, there are 3 contenders for the top spot:
Black Sabbath: "Sabotage" Led Zeppelin: "Led Zeppelin IV" Rainbow: "Rising" But I am undecided at the moment, although Rainbow: "Rising" will likely get my vote. |

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Queen II is my all-time favorite. I can't vote for anything else.
Zep, Purple & Rush are all good too.

All great albums. I really cannot choose one, since they all appeal to different moods. I'd vote for all if I could.

A bunch of classics in this poll. Vote goes to Rainbow's Rising, an all-around amazing record. Keyboardist Tony Carey shines on that baby!

The only 2 of these that I even remotely like, the Quatermass (which I'll bet few people have heard) & the Atomic Rooster, have 0 votes so far. Oh, well. I decided to give my little bit of love to Quatermass, because at least people are familiar with Atomic Rooster.

A bunch of classics indeed. Hard to choose, perhaps my favs being A Farewell to Kings and Queen II, probably the most Prog of the list. As a teen I was much more into Hard Rock and Heavy and I really loved albums like Rainbow Rising, Sabotage or Machine Head, but even then when I heard A Farewell and Queen II they immediately became on a different league. Quatermass is also a great one.
Voted for Rush.

Recently I have written my review on Quatermass. Five Stars. I love Quatermass.

Queen II - my 1st Queen album and the one I still consider their best (with 1 major flaw...I can't stand Funny How Love Is). Especially great is the 1991 reissue which includes "See What a Fool I've Been", the original B-side to Seven Seas of Rhye

Easily Uriah Heep, my second favourite UH LP after Demons & Wizards, which contains the fantastic Easy Livin' My top 5 are: 1.UH 2.LZ 3.Queen 4.Rush 5. DP As for Sabotage, I think it is the worst and most boring Ozzy period album. Also, the only bands on here that I consider proggish are DP, UH and Rush. The others are just rock.

How great was music back in 1971? It's worth noting that Led Zeppelin IV and Aqualung were being recorded in the same studio at the very same time during December, 1970 through February, 1971.

There are too many here I don't know, but from the ones I do, Zep IV and Rising stand out.
