Too much great stuff here. No vote
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Pink Floyd>Renaissance - I have no opinion about the rest.
Is it any wonder that the monkey's confused?

VDGG over Magma and Gilgamesh. These three standout above the rest.

Very surprised that there are no votes whatsoever for those fine Todd and Wigwam albums...

I guess relatively few of us have heard either?

I mean, I know 6 of those albums like the back of my hand (I'm sure you can guess which 6) and 4 of them, I've never actually heard?

The same for me with most likely the same four albums I've never actually heard. Smile

well, both Gilgamesh and Wigwam are JR/F, which I can only do in small doses and only then with the emphasis on the R rather than the J. I have tried Gilgamesh but decided it wasn't for me...

Magma is a world I simply don't understand at all.. the Utopia album I've probably heard stuff from actually; their first two were pretty good, but have never owned any..

Too much competition in my opinion. I would have those two along with Renaissance as the bottom three. But that's in my musical world.

Wow...a lot of great stuff came out in the second half of 75.

Of all on the list, I listen to Free Hand more than the others.
