That's not crazy at all. Geoff Downes' Light Program is my second favourite album in the poll (after Tony Kaye). Maybe it's me who's crazy for ranking Billy Sherwood's Big Peace album above debut albums by Patrick Moraz, Steve Howe, Trevor Rabin, Bill Bruford and YES! Wacko

Rick Wakeman's album made me realise there was life beyond ELP. The atmosphere of this album is quite remarkable. Rick was and still is a genius composer and the best multi keyboard player in prog , a master of the piano, mellotron, synths and organ. If there is any album that shows what prog keyboards is all about then this is it.

Tough list for my tastes in music but there is one album here I've given 4 stars to at least.
Bill Bruford and that killer lineup.

I like Story of I a lot, though.

1. Tony Kaye - End of Innocence
2. Geoff Downes & New Dance Orchestra - The Light Program
3. Rick Wakeman - The Six Wives of Henry VIII
4. Jon Anderson - Olias of Sunhillow
5. Chris Squire - Fish Out of Water
6. Billy Sherwood - The Big Peace Geek

What, no YES!?? Shocked  I somehow knew I'd be the only one to vote for Tony Kaye. Tongue
