This is  a bit of a REVISED EDITION of the poll.

PLEASE, VOTE FOR MORE THAN ONE ALBUM. I'M TRYING TO GET AS MUCH VOTES AS POSSIBLE.

BASICALLY, IF YOU LIKE THE ALBUM A LOT, THEN VOTE FOR IT. THE END RESULT WILL BE LOTS OF VOTES FOR A VARIETY OF ALBUMS.

BUT, DO NOT VOTE FOR AN ALBUM THAT YOU ALREADY VOTED FOR! VOTE!

AGAIN, VOTE FOR MORE THAN ONE ALBUM, BUT NOT THE SAME ALBUM MORE THAN ONCE.

Take care

"Fragile" was released January 4, 1972.

Lest there be speculation.

2nd.

PFM - Per Un Amico (much better than Storia)
Yes - CTTE


I've never cared much for Fragile.

Yes, Genesis, ELP all voted for.

The proggers of that time were spoiled for choice.

My list:

  1. Foxtrot
  2. Thick as a Brick
  3. Close to the Edge
  4. Darwin!
  5. Trilogy

But Foxtrot is N° 1 by a mile, if it only had Supper's Ready it would have still been the best album, but if you add Can Utility and the Coastliners (The best from the album IMO), Watcher of the Skies, Horizons and Get 'em Out by Friday, you got a unique masterpiece.

Foxtrot

Supper's Ready is just too good.

Close to the Edge

Thick as a Brick

Don't have the slightest idea, because IMO Foxtrot is much better.

But honestly I just voted once  when Foxtrot had 36 votes.
