This is a bit of an odd poll, as I'm interested in all these albums for different reasons.

With Kansas, Trower, and Zappa, I know one or two songs and want to hear the rest of these respective albums.

The Waters and Yes albums have been talked up to me for a long time, but I haven't yet heard anything from these albums.

SO, help me decide which one to listen to first. Pick your favorite from this list!

I want you to get more Zappa under your belt, Doug. The more you'll the more you'll want to hear more! One Size is a very good album, with some of Frank's go-to pieces, such as Inca Roads, Florentine Pogen, San Berdino, and the Sofas. Sure hope this one wins!

Bridge of Sighs is an excellent album, but you need to be in the appropriate mood for it. Like dark chocolate. Point of Know Return would appear to be the clear standout on this list and Kansas is certainly worthy of more attention on the site than it has yet received. The 'pinnacle' American prog band.

The piano in Po-Jama People alone is worth listening to One Size Fits All! Such a great album, I hope you get to it at some point.

I'm really hoping that Bridge of Sighs picks up support. Loved your response on to the title track. You really need to hear the whole album in sequence.

Thank you in advance for the Procol Harum(Procol had a HAREM ?????) piece that you are doing on Thursday. I have been truly nagging you for about 2 years to get you to present your reaction to this magnum opus. This was probably the first extended piece of prog ever released, and features Robin Trower on guitar, This was one of the long form pieces that "underground" radio used to play from beginning to end, commercials be damned. Others included side 2 of "Abbey Road", and "In-A Gadda-Da-Vida" It does pass the 17 minute mark, which was "In Held...", studio features Robin Trower on guitar and his solos during this magnum opus are magnificent. The live version features the orchestra, but the guitar is different than Robin Trower. Even if you don't react to the studio version, please listen to it anyway and tell me you don't think that it supersedes the live version. The ending section of this piece you will NOT believe. After you are stunned by this piece, check out "Whaling Stories" from 1970. We love you & Megan, and the sanity you have brought to the covid insanity.

Roger had to win

If Amused to Death doesn't make it, please do Perfect Sense pt 1 & 2.

I hope this Zappa album will get another chance soon in another poll, or as a "Doug's pick"

Can't believe Kansas beat my favourite Frank Zappa album :(

My favorite, Robin Trower, got the lowest vote at 7%. Oh well, 7 is my lucky number. Why so unforgiving? And why so cold? Been a long time crossing... the Bridge of Sigggghhhhhsssss...
