| I really don't like Iron Maiden in general, but Brave New World is pretty good. |

I think it's one of the best FW albums, how about you?

It's damn beautiful but now that I think of it it's so melancholic and sad, probably the most sorrowful PT release.

A pretty strong return. But also for me, Maiden were never a big favorite.

Brave New World is one of the best come back albums and if you ask me best later day Iron maiden album. Some may disagree with me, but I don't find what they did after BNW that interesting. Highlights are few.

Very hard to decide this time. Many of the albums listed were my first I heard of them: King Crimson, Spock's Beard, Fates Warning, PT's Lightbulb Sun, and Transatlantic obviously. Sentimentality is making it hard for me to make up my mind. My vote goes for Fates Warning. That keyboard howl at the beginning and end of the album just tears my heart open. It's a great album to listen to when I feel melancholy. |

Well, the point is to have some really great albums, and probably some not so very well known. But I generally stick to more 'popular' prog albums because more people would come here and cast their vote. And the outcomes of these are always interesting! [However, not too unpredictable

V because of the song "The Great Nothing" which is an absolute work of genius! ------------- “On the day of my creation, I fell in love with education. And overcoming all frustration, a teacher I became.” — Ernest Vong |

I'm voting for Pink Floyd, even though I haven't heard the album. I must admit, the only album I've actually listened to in this poll is Lightbulb Sun by Porcupine Tree.

Absolutely...At The End of the Day and Great Nothing are superb and is the reason why V is the best lp on that list... ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

| Kid A for sure. Following OK Computer should have been near impossible but they did. That and In Rainbows represent the best of Radiohead for me. |

| I was tempted to vote for St Germain's Tourist as it has no votes, but Radiohead's Kid A is the favoured one by me and I haven't listened to Tourist in quite a few years. |

If all the tracks were like RoI, it would have been my album of the decade, never mind year!
