Rooster, but not a lot of love here, if honest .

Some great albums in this poll. Went with Farewell To Kings.
Not a single vote though for Captain Beyond? Travesty

Agreed but Blackmore always made sure that the Rainbow keyboard player could never outshine him. I saw Rainbow (at the Rainbow!) and Carey was mixed really low and stuck behind a pillar so you didn't really know he was there.

Hard to choose between Led Zep, Rush, Purple and Rainbow but I went for LZ because it has When The Levee Breaks.

Queen II. It's Queen best album they ever did. Amazing from the start to the end. Granted: there is a lot of great albums in this poll (Rush, Zepp, Deep Purple, Heep, Rainbow), but Queen II has a soft spot in my heart. White Queen, Ogre Battle, Fairy Feller's Master Stroke or The March Of The Black Queen are fantastic and remaining song are nevertheless great... I couldn't vote differently here.

I voted for Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple is right up there as well but I want to shout out for Capt. Beyond because that first CB album is a good one.

Rainbow: Rising is my favourite, Dio's vocals are incredible, and Stargazer will forever be one of my favourite songs of all time.

Good list. Hard to choose..

It's between Queen, Rush, Rainbow and Zep...

Ok, I'll go for Rush.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Rainbow - Rising for the B-side alone... A Light in the Black is just as great as Stargazer

Including Queen is a slap in the face for them, they were very much against everything prog stood for.

I'm sure they did not care how they are classified. Also the press of the time were not kind to them for some reason. 

If someone would classify Queen II as art-rock, it would not be wrong IMO. Hard rock would not be wrong either.

I love them all, but there's one album Rising just above the rest. Smile
