When I did the poll it was 2-1 for Genesis beating pink floyd. pink floyd DSOTM is the obvious choice for two reasons.

"Space Ritual" There's good songs on "Larks' Togues in Aspic", but IMO they worked much better live. |

Tales From Topographic Oceans. Selling England by the Pound a honorable second, with Dark Side of the Moon, Tubular Bells and Six Wives very close behind those two. |

| It's very hard to whittle it down to one, but nonetheless I'm STAGGERED that there was nary a vote for GG's storming In a Glass House. You disappoint me, people. |
Posted By: King of Loss
Date Posted: August 15 2005 at 18:02
| Well, Trouserpress, it shows how POPULAR Genesis is on Progarchives and Selling England by the Pound is the most "highly rated" album on Progarchives right? So it probably would receive a lot of votes like that. |

| In a Glass House would be my second choice (GG's best IMO) but I had to go with Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh my all time favourite! Dark Side would be third... or I don't know... many fantastic records listed, really a great year.. |

My personal vote goes to "Larks' tongues," but "In A Glass House" is a close second ------------- "Art is not imitation, nor is it something manufactured according to the wishes of instinct or good taste. It is a process of expression." -Merleau-Ponty |

MAGMA, definitely. Other albums may have sold many more copies, and
may be regarded by many as the cornerstones of prog, but "Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh" (even more so than its two predecessors) gave birth to a whole new genre of music. |

I grew up with "The Dark Side...", so it's for me a subjective choice. I must say it's very close between Genesis and Floyd. Top 7: 1. Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon 2. Genesis - Selling England By The Pound 3. Gentle Giant - In A Glass House 4. ELP - Brain Salad Surgery 5. King Crimson - Lark's Tongues In Aspic 6. Jethro Tull - A Passion Play 7. Yes - Tales From Topographic Oceans |

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 |

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 ¡¡¡. "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. |

There should be a poll making tortorial.... the question was "Choose the most important or favorite album from 1973" most important and favourite are two completly different things!!! My favourite album from then is topographic oceans, but by far the more important is darkside its like the same thing as asking in the same poll, " whats your favorite album or airplane company" its just not fair, i dont know what to put as my answer... ------------- I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t. -Stone Beard |
