Haven't heard the Zappa or Caravan entries, but of those I know I find Magma's the most interesting. ------------- when i was a kid a doller was worth ten dollers - now a doller couldnt even buy you fifty cents |

| In a Glass House, Tubular Bells is the only one that comes even a mile close to one of the greatest albums ever made. |

Plump > Glass House > Tubular > Future Days ------------- Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement. |

I'll be honest and give the vote to Tubular Bells, although Caravan would probably have needed it more and I love that album, too. MDK is great as well and Future Days is something special although I can't warm to it as much as to other Can albums from that era. Overall this collection eats the "big six" one for breakfast. |

In a Glass House Future Days MDK Tubular Bells Haven't heard the other two, but I generally like Caravan and Frank Zappa, although I don't absolutely love either (I can't yet vote anyway, so TB remains in the lead)

Tubular Bells but really tough call amongst a bunch of favorite albums. ------------- Ian Host of the Post-Avant Jazzcore Happy Hour on Progrock.com https://podcasts.progrock.com/post-avant-jazzcore-happy-hour/ |

The Can album here is in a class of it's own imho. I feel bad for the Caravan and Magma releases as they both are pretty damn fine, but in no way shape or form reach the infinite beauty of Future Days' earexpanding calypso funk. Tubular Bells is a great album as well - one I used to practice my Kung Fu breathing exercises to (a long time ago). ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

For me, toss up between Future Days and For Girls. Voted For Girls just to keep things interesting... ------------- He neither drank, smoked, nor rode a bicycle. Living frugally, saving his money, he died early, surrounded by greedy relatives. It was a great lesson to me -- John Barrymore |

Very hard to choose; from the 'awful' category (above), I think MDK is pretty close to perfect. |

It won't. Gentle Giant will beat Oldfield no doubt, but they are closer than I thought they would be. ------------- http://fryingpanmedia.com |

This list of six is, in my opinion, far superior to the first "big" six--and a lot tougher to choose from. MDK ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |
