In my personal ranking, 

1) King Crimson 

2) Family 

but...

I've voted for Family
Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

It's good to see the Crimson King has won this poll by a wide margin - as expected - even though I didn't vote for it. Smile

In the Court of the Crimson King has always been my favourite KC album by a long way. It's also the only King Crimson album I've actually gone out and bought, although In the Wake of Poseidon's a pretty good follow-up album, so I occasionally listen to 2 too. Smile

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

Are you kidding? I love take a pebble. Tank would be a much better argument to prove there was anything "bad" on it and I even like that one.
Take a Pebble is the only ELP-song i genuinely love:)

Loads of brilliant albums here. It was difficult to remove enough titles to make a top ten of sorts:

King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King (1969) 
National Health - National Health (1978)   
Pink Floyd - Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967)     
Gentle Giant - Gentle Giant (1970)     
Hatfield & the North - Hatfield & the North (1974)
Family - Music in a Doll's House (1968) 
Curved Air - Air Conditioning (1970)    
Camel - Camel (1973)
Renaissance - Renaissance (1969)
Caravan - Caravan (1968)

Disqualified from competition: The Moody Blues' second album

^^ Can't imagine anyone else on PA choosing that one Cristi, but it's a really good choice..
