Dear Reader, the poll is comprised of albums released in the first 6 months of 75 in case you are getting upset at Floyd getting missed out...  A golden age, in my humble opinion...

I won't be churlish and choose something else.... of the options given, it's a really tight call between Camel and Hawkwind and could change next week... but I've just voted for Warrior.

Aside from the Floyd you referred to, another dozen albums I love from this year would be Eloy: Power/ Passion, Froese: Epsilon, GG: Free Hand, Grobschnitt: Jumbo, Hackett: Voyage, MMEB: Nightingales, Nektar: Recycled, Oldfield: Ommadawn, Renaissance: Scheherezade, TD: Rubycon / Ricochet, VDGG: Godbluff, Vangelis: H&H... I wonder how many were released in the second six months??

I'll go with Rush's Fly By Night. 

I can't say that I am much of a fan of the listed albums.  The Snow Goose is probably my obvious choice as it is beautiful music, but I almost never fail to fall asleep while listening to it.  Geek

What a great list!
Soft Machine- Bundles
Hatfield And The North- The Rotters Club
Steve Hillage- Fish Rising

All three are five star albums in my opinion, but I'm feeling more in a Bundles mood today.

Henry Cow > Steve Hillage > Greenslade. Yep, nice selection. Cheeseburgers are coming out of the air conditioning!
