Comparing the albums of Genesis, Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Yes by order of release.

Feel free to cover as many of these, and more, if you like, and you need not do all five albums from each.  I plan to do a second edition with some other big names like VdGG and GG. I chose 11 for my cgoices to go up to The Wall specifically.  Pink Floyd and King Crimson are my favourites generally of these, but of course it also depends on which specific releases we are comparing. In some cases choosing the order was a toss-up.  Some years I love all, others only one or two.

Here are the first 12 albums per band in chronological order for reference:
