Today it's Tubular Bells, mainly because I've just bought the
orchestral version. Otherwise I would split my vote with Selling
England. Second best are Larks', Dark Side and Photos of Ghosts

D'oh! I pressed for SEBTP before realising Larks Tongues is on the list. Never mind.

Mahavishnu Orchestra's Birds of Fire is also worth a mention.

Bloody good year, 1973. They don't make em like that any more blah blah............

1973 was the best year for me.

Some of the greatest albums:

Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon

King Crimson - Larks’ Tongues In Aspic

Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells

Jethro Tull - A Passion Play

Genesis - Selling England by the Pound

Emerson Lake & Palmer - Brain Salad Surgery

Yes - Tales from Topographic Oceans

Gentle Giant - In A Glass House

Mahavishnu orchestra - Birds of fire.

How lucky to have it all in collection. Very nice choice of almums Simkim

Selling England...
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

Selling England wins though...

This one was hard. It comes down to Jethro Tull's A Passion Play (very underrated), Gentle Giant's In a Glass House, and Magma's Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh for me.

I voted for Magma, for making some of the most original music I've ever heard.

 This is ridiculous ˇˇˇ. "Selling" is kicking everybody´s ass in this poll, including the overrated least progressive rock album "Dark side". Still, "Dark side " has made it to the second overall place.

 Managers of this site: Pay attention to this. Something is not right with that list. Or with the method you have selected to rank this albums.

 I don´t see Banco´s first album, which is way more imaginative and has 10 times more creative and original music than "Dark side". While I can listen to Banco´s first, 3 times in a row, I can listen to "Dark side" once, only if I skip songs number 2,3, 4 and 5.

Note: The most popular titles. That doesn't mean that there couldn't be more imaginative and creative music made. However, Dark Side Of The Moon is truely original music IMO. And there isn't anything wrong with that list. It contains the most well-known and influential albums in history of prog-rock. I, for instance haven't heard of Banco before.
