| You are purposely making this hard for me. Many of those are among my favourite albums of all time. I voted Captain Beyond, but only because I just listened it to. |

| Nektar, but my favorite album from that year, Triumvirat's debut Mediterranean Tales is missing. |

I like Lord Of the Rings and love Moving Waves, but Grave New World is simply one of the best albums ever.

Some mighty fine music on that list.............I really like Nektar, Strawbs, Agitation Free, and Khan...as well as several others, but Khan still knocks my socks off when I play it.

My sentiment exactly. I love the NEU, Osanna, Khan, Il Balletto di Bronzo, Faust, Guru Guru and Popol Vuh - and the rest of these aren't too shabby either. I'll come back and vote when I'm 42 and wise like a dog. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

One of the best things about Khan is that it's pronounced like Karen in Danish. KAREN!!!

I see Hansson is doing pretty well in this poll. I was just wondering whether the folks voting for him know of Eric Malmberg? He's listed on PA as prog electronic, but his album Verklighet & Beat sounds much closer to the sound of Bo Hansson. That's not entirely bizarre though seeing as he actually played the exact same hammond organ as Bo did on his Lord of the Rings album. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

My choice remains the same almost four years later, but there are many that I love on the list. That said, I would not express my choice so emphatically these days. I mean an exclamation mark, seriously? I used to be much more wild in those days. |

Right now, Palepoli is my pick ------------- Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement. |

| Moving Waves got more votes than Neu!, Kanguru, Malesch, Hosianna Mantra, So Far, and Palepoli combined... I vote we allow this poll to drift back into obscurity; this might be more embrassing than when From Genesis To Revelation defeated Trout Mask Replica in a direct fight. |

There's about ten albums here I really like - and some of those I love. Not certain what I would have voted for four years ago. But I know it certainly wouldn't have been So Far - the one among these I've listened to the most for the last couple of years. So its So Far by far. Its highly addictive once it gets under your skin. An awesome soundspace to fill your headspace with. I don't know if that is something any native speakers of english would write but as its a foreign language to me I think it looks exactly like what I wanted to formulate. Behind Faust the rest of a top ten would contain Agitation Free, Popol Vuh, Curved Air, Gnidrolog, Balletto, Bo Hansson, Brainticket, Neu! & Osanna... |

| You're killing me. How am I expected to choose between the Curved Air, the Ange, Khan, Il Balleto di Bronzo, the Strawbs best album & Little Red Record. I don't have a 6 sided coin or any dice. Narrow it down to The Strawbs & Curved Air and toss a coin: Grave New World. |

Moving Waves was actually recorded and released in 1971 not 1972 (released as "Focus II" in The Netherlands)...the PA site has had the wrong release year from the start of its inclusion...will someone please change this?
