Led Zeppelin for sure. By the way I'm no prude but does PA allow nude avatars? I'm sure many younger prog fans are here and we don't want to sexualize them at a young age.

Well, there's plenty of nude album covers on the site, so what's the difference if they see it here vs the artist pages?

Very good point. I completely forgot about that. The cover of Gong's Acid Motherhood album comes to mind. Even adults should be stopped from seeing that coverPinch 
Ya Ho Wha 13's album ''I'm Gonna Take You Home'' is probably the dodgiest cover i've seen. One of the great things about being a Prog fan is that we have such a varied selection of erotic covers to oggle overLOL

Another thing I don't get is that MMA allows language that PA doesn't.  And there's just as many young people on that site as there would be here.

Easiest poll ever.
 
Physical Graffiti is far from being the Zeppelin I enjoy, although disc 2 has some good tunes.
 
Quadrophenia on the other hand, is another artistical peak from The Who. A masterpiece of creative rock.

I love PG and I voted for it, but I have to admit Quad has an amazing album flow that Zepp never had. Both two great albums.

PG is chock full of great ideas but Quadrophenia sees great ideas through to fruition. Hence my vote and also my general view of both bands. LZ are better at coming up with great ideas and great musical moments rather than entire songs or albums.  Who, especially circa Quadrophenia, rely too much on spinning variations of the Won't get fooled again refrain but their consistency is winsome.
