These five albums have been on the master list for quite some time, and I am still interested in all of these albums. Only Marillion has been featured in an EPL previously, and that was Misplaced Childhood very early on.

So, which album should we listen to first?

My favorite muse album! Hits me in the feels everytime I listen to it..

Neale Brassell

Well of COURSE my choice (Flower Kings) is in last place...

doughelvering

I have really no idea as to how this poll will go...I'm happy with any of the choices!

Data Crusher

Some great songs on the Muse pick! Incredible talent.

Guitar Channel

I only know of VDGG and Marillion, lol. If neither of them wins then I will learn about a new band.

Ralph Darvill

VDGG will be the most interesting/challenging

Curious how on the main page, the poll shows a certain set of preliminary results, but if you open the page for the post itself, a different set of results is seen.

Matthew Hackbert

Muse, because I only know a couple hits, plus what Doug has reacted to.

Philly Paul

Listened to all for the first time. Absolution resonated with me the most. Several good choices.

Ken Robinson

Rooting for Flower Kings! Though all of these are good choices. (BE would probably be the most interesting reaction)

Estefanía Sucre

Voting for Absolution. Yes, I am a progger, but I am also a huge Muse fan, and they deserve their first EPL! It's about time! I hope you get into the other ones as well soon, dear Doug :)

Einaras Sipavičius

Oh god, Be and H to He on the same poll. That tears me apart. Well I'm going for my fav band VdGG this time, but I really hope for Be some day, it's been too long in the master list (essentially since this list was born). P.S. surprised Brave isn't doing that well in this poll, I would have imagined this to be a real favourite in here.

Ray Sincere

I love how well H to He is doing!

Tom (the soggy one)

Has to be VdGG. We're going to get "House With No Door", one way or another. The most strikingly beautiful, bring-you-to-your-knees accurate take on manic depression I've ever heard. Although this should be no surprise from the genius mind of ph.

Jack R.

Hidrogen to Helium for the win!

Christian

I'm so glad Pain Of Salvation's BE is again on the poll. This is definitely their album to listen totally fresh :)

Ruth James

Muse for me. Great album and one of my favourite favourite bands🙂

Karl Stubsjoen

I’m no Muse fan so it’s Marillion for me

Les Mable

I'm torn between Muse and VDGG. But Muse gets my vote if only because I feel they deserve more exposure on this channel.

Tim van der Leeuw

That is my absolute favourite VDGG album so there's no doubt in my mind which one gets my vote!

Uwe Schiller

The problem is that PoS is not so well known, and therefore has always no chance. And that is loss for all of us. But the hope dies as last. So BE it.

Digibirder

Brave by Marillion is one of the best prog albums of the 90s. It’s best listened to in one go, loud, with the lights off. There’s great individual tracks, but the whole thing is the way to go! If Doug has an LP I wonder if he has one with the random ending?

Truly one of the greatest albums created! Still remains as my #2 all time. Everytime I see it come on a poll I get excited!! One day Doug will BE a fan too.

Maybe one day Doug will create a "losers" round of votes? But don't worry, Pain of Salvation will surely be on the playlist sooner or later.

Christopher Arters (relative timeworx - Mr.A)

Considering the degree to which Marillion has impacted Doug, it seems almost negligent that Brave has not been featured yet. It is not the easiest listen, the subject matter is emotional and dark to be sure, but there are simply no comparable works that were released in the 90s and I'm very comfortable placing Brave in the pantheon of the great concept albums of all time. "The Great Escape medley" is a powerful piece standing alone, in context it is gut-wrenching and impossible to absorb without a fountain of tears. As to the others on the list, Muse is Muse, solid band with solid work in the sophisticated pop/rock world; Stardust We Are is certainly, for me, the pinnacle of The Flower Kings; the other entries are simply not my cuppa. Brave is chapter one in the great Marillion Trilogy that includes "Afraid of Sunlight" and "This Strange Engine" - a trio that stands tall among all of the best three album runs ever.

Mr D Jones

brave every day, awesome album

Jean-Michel LaFontaine

All 5 albums are very good to great, but I have to with one of my favorite and most orginal bands of all, Van der Graaf Generator.

WicketGinger

BE would be right up your alley. One of the great prog metal albums ever!

Frits van Voorst

So, Muse and VDGG got the same percentage. My initial choice was The Flower Kings, but seeing them hovering last, I switched to VDGG. I’m curious who won!

doughelvering

AND THE WINNER IS... Van Der Graaf Generator...by two votes!

Oh, if only one person had voted the other way and we could have had a dead heat! Has there ever been one yet?
