A bit of a subjective list and not a subject I'm massively familar with in truth. I love that Beggars Opera album and when I saw the Egg poll thought I might pitch them against each other but then decided to widen it out a bit. I've left off albums where it would mean duplicating a band so fro instance Atomic Rooster had 2 albums out in 1970. I've gone with the debut as I know it better.

Some great albums listed here.. i'd probably add Rare Bird- As your mind flies by but i love Brian Auger and the Trinity.. he's probably my fave Hammond tickler (as opposed to thrasher..) Wink

From this list, Atomic Roooster's debut (i prefer it to DWBY), with Befour second (my fave "Trinity" album)
let's just stay above the moral melee

keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I've gone for Beggars Opera here, with Colosseum very close behind...

Go for Colosseum (they deserved one vote at least)
Lot of very good Lps in your list

Sixty-nine : Double live LP by a german frenz duo (Keys/Drums)issued on Philips (Europe) In 1974 (not sure)
Le Orme : Collage
Birth Control : Same
The Crazy world of Arthur Brown : Same
Trace : Trace
+
Any Triumvirat, ELP, VDGG
+
More recent stuff : any Ars Nova (Japan), Any Areknames (Italy)

according to PA that's 1969. Great organist though, probably even better than Keith Emerson and Jon Lord on that instrument.
BTW I deliberately left off the 'heavy hitters' (ELP and Deep Purple) from the poll as well as Yes - Time And A Word which could also qualify (Tony Kaye is another great of the organ imo)

It's a moot point - Discogs lists it as 1969 but according to Wikipedia it was recorded in 1969 and released in January 1970 - so technically I guess it scrapes in.

Yes and amongst the great keyboard players of the era - Wakeman, Wright, Emerson & Lord - Rod Argent gets a bit overlooked, as does Vince Crane.
