This was indeed
a most evil poll. All the albums I've heard of those are really good,
with Close To The Edge as my least favourite (but I'm quite sure I'll
be more fond of it when I get to listen through it more), but it came
down to Nursery Cryme or The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway for me, in the
end. So I voted for Nursery Cryme, because I don't think anyone else
will do it.
In retrospect, I should've picked Trespass... |

Really difficult...
I own 24 albums, the only one I don't have is "Octopus" and I admit I've only listened to VDGG's album once (or really 1/2 time, I can't stand them, really). My list:

I just wrote a top 10 albums -list for myself a few days ago and I chose Camel's The Snow Goose to be the best. But your list is really well chosen.
If I got to chose four albums more from this list, it would be like 2. Camel - Moonmadness 3. Camel - Mirage 4. Yes - Close to the Edge 5. ELP - Brain Salad Surgery My top 10 http://www.last.fm/user/jdtrbn/journal/2005/12/10/42017/ |

It's difficult to mention only one of these albums, but for its importance, magnificence and the role of open my mind to another level of music, I must be predictable and vote for Close to the edge.

I guess the obvious choice is Close to the Edge, perhaps the most
beautiful album ever made. However, it is closely followed by Selling
England by the Pound.

This was actualy an easy choice for me, Foxtrot without question.
Where are the modern bands like Spocks Beard, The Flower Kings and Anglagard |
