This is a bit of a REVISED EDITION of the poll. PLEASE, VOTE FOR MORE THAN ONE ALBUM. I'M TRYING TO GET AS MUCH VOTES AS POSSIBLE. BASICALLY, IF YOU LIKE THE ALBUM A LOT, THEN VOTE FOR IT. THE END RESULT WILL BE LOTS OF VOTES FOR A VARIETY OF ALBUMS. BUT, DO NOT VOTE FOR AN ALBUM THAT YOU ALREADY VOTED FOR! VOTE! AGAIN, VOTE FOR MORE THAN ONE ALBUM, BUT NOT THE SAME ALBUM MORE THAN ONCE. Take care  |

"Fragile" was released January 4, 1972. Lest there be speculation. |

For me Close to the Edge wins it hands down, with Fragile taking a close
2nd. |

What a good year. Was there a better one? Yes, Genesis, ELP all voted for. The proggers of that time were spoiled for choice.

My list:
But Foxtrot is N° 1 by a mile, if it only had Supper's Ready it would have still been the best album, but if you add Can Utility and the Coastliners (The best from the album IMO), Watcher of the Skies, Horizons and Get 'em Out by Friday, you got a unique masterpiece. Iván |

Foxtrot Supper's Ready is just too good. but my others would have to be Close to the Edge Thick as a Brick and A Tab in the Ocean ------------- "I'm in a freefall like a snowflake falling down down down down down." |

Don't have the slightest idea, because IMO Foxtrot is much better. But honestly I just voted once when Foxtrot had 36 votes. Iván |

I haven't heard the others, except for parts of Prologue which was very good, so it would probably be up there as well. ------------- If you don't stand up You don't stand a chance! |

1972 was without a doubt Yes´s year...Fragil and the most important prog album of all time...I mean, of course, CLOSE TO THE EDGE... who else?...well Genesis also made their best album that year, as Jethro Tull... ------------- "You want me to play what, Robert?"
