I like hugely Hero And Heroine, but the song New World something incomparable! (Hero And Heroine track is one of their 5 best songs!)

I think Grave New World is incredible. It's mystical,
angry, intense, pastoral... The title track, Benedictus, The Flower and the Young Man and Queen of Dreams are pretty much my top four Strawbs tracks, all on the same album. ------------- The world keeps spinning, people keep sinning And all the rest is just bullsh*t -Steve Kilbey |

| A very difficult choice, but I went for Ghosts. I think it's their most progressive and aggressive album, with a couple of awesome tracks ("Ghosts" and "The life auction"). |

Bursting At The Seams is awesome (although not the most progressive) ...
------------- "Death to Utopia! Death to faith! Death to love! Death to hope?" thunders the 20th century. "Surrender, you pathetic dreamer.” "No" replies the unhumbled optimist "You are only the present." |

Grave New World! No, From the Witchwood! No, Hero and Heroine! No, Ghosts! No,............ Oh hell - they're ALL great. I'll go for Grave New World because it was the first album I ever bought and Benedictus was the track that introduced me to prog. |

I have heard only "From The Witchwood" and "All of Our Own Work", so maybe I won't vote for anything yet.
