Now that I'm refreshed and back from vacation, I want to dive into one of the epic Double-Albums that are on our radar...but which one to do first?

Vote for your preferred album for the next Extended Play Lounge!

The poll will be active through Tuesday the 15th.

Depending on my mindset when I happen to be listening to The Wall, some part(s) of it never fail to make me cry, or sing along, or pump my fist (or all three at once). Amazing album, great work Doug as always!

Richard Plante

This isn’t fair, it’s like choosing your favorite child.

Olivier Ouellet

The wall has some great songs, but the best of it comes out when you listen to the whole piece as one. Almost like a play. I can't wait for the next one, thanks Doug

heavy weight fight.....round 'ONE'

As much as I love The Wall, I just need to see what he thinks of The Astonishing! I enjoy it but only for so long. Come on folks, it's gotta happen!

Prog Rock Piano Bar

The Wall is my favorite of all time, but it just isn't that harmonically interesting enough to deserve a breakdown, in my opinion.

Prog Rock Piano Bar

Also, I was the one who put quardrophenia on the list, so I have to vote for it. I won't be disappointed with the Wall, but Quardrophenia is just 'meatier" to me.

BRIAN MILLER

The Wall is one of my old favorites that I first heard in the late 1980s as a teenager. A classic.

Skyler

I voted for The Wall but I would be happy with either Quadrophenia or The Astonishing. I like Quadrophenia as it's a rock solid album but The Astonishing is a bit bloated if you know what I mean. It would have worked better as a single album. I saw online a reworking of the songs that would have made a better (single) album & I took my MP3's & sorted them that way & I tend to agree that version just works better as a really good single album.

Put In Absentia or Deadwing on the Prog Poll

Dark horse: Echolyn's "Cowboy Poems Free"

Darker horse: Amplifier's "The Octopus"

The Astonishing. It was written as a musical, and as such has themes and motifs and vocal cast parts. All the things that would make it fun to examine. The great adventure is probably my favorite on the list but the astonishing should be first.

Jim Xavier

I hope even if it doesn't win The Astonishing stays in consideration! Can't wait to see that review.

Newt

War of the Worlds is brilliant, but seeing it has absolutely little chance, I choose the absolutely brilliant 'The Wall'

Geoff Budd

Would like to see the reaction to War of the Worlds but it has to be The Wall for me first!

Great Scott

going for The Wall this time, although Quadrophenia would be a close second. However, if the genre becomes "Rock Operas" -- the choice would have to be between Jesus Christ Superstar and Tommy.

André Simonsen

The mother of all double albums - The Wall. Have to start with that. For me The Wall is the double album benchmark.

Richard Stoney

This is exactly why I joined Doug’s Patreon. The Wall is a classic - epic, disturbing, controversial - but remains the ultimate prog concept album.

JON R KAREL

Pudding? Better eat your meat!! You little &$/:(@‘s

Harri Hietajärvi

The Wall was the second album, which introduced me to prog. The first was Animals. I fell in love over 40 years ago and still am. The other albums have no chance in this poll.

Mark J Moerman

Clearly The Wall is going to win (and that's fine), but I'm voting for Quadrophenia in hopes that, as with the Moody Blues, you'll squeeze it in!

Don Mal 1

heavy weight fight round 'two'...The Who vs. The Wall?!

Eusebio R-Z

Yes, many times we'd like to choose more than one, but The Wall is so overdue that I feel no shame in not making a statement and voting for a choice that is already close to having more votes than all the rest combined!

Lynne Bennett

The fascinating thing about The Wall is that even as decades go by, a fresh take on it always comes along. I like and appreciate that.

Anderson Davies

The Wall - stunning album still. Timeless. And with a special memory for me: Nov 30th 79, Berlin. One day before that a radio special had been playing about 20 minutes of that Album. This feature made me wait outside the next day at the record shop not far from school. When they opened at 10, I snapped the first from the stack, flew on my bike to school, which also had started at 10... When the teacher asked me why I was late, I simply opened my plastic back of the record shop. He looked in, nodded, smiled, and pointed wordlessly to my seat :) No need to say: after school I had a run through twice without break...and no idea what it was all about, haha.

Chris Moorcroft

I have owned all five albums. The Astonishing was a more interesting idea than it turned out. The Great Adventure is good but will always be in the shadow of Similitude... I love TWOTW but it is not that varied musically. I still need to spend some quality time with Quadrophenia. Which leaves my choice as The Wall.

Justin Humberger

"But in the town it was well known when they get home at night their fat psychopathic wives would thrash them within inches of their lives..."

Michael Strawn

I voted The Wall. I don't think it has held up that well (compared to Wish You Were Here and Animals, which have both held up very well). But it's still an iconic album. A sprawling conceptual double album that became a pop music hit and topped charts. It was a cultural phenomena.

Dave Cohen

Voted for Quadrophenia, which is epic, and of particular interest due to the way in which Townsend blends the four themes together.

Shayne Buckley

I'm surprised The Wall isn't over 50%. It's almost unfair to put anyone up against Pink Floyd in just about any poll.

Einaras Sipavičius

I voted for Quadrophenia. The Who was my favorite band in my early adolescence, and Quadrophenia was one of the reasons I really worshipped the band. I've given my opinion on The Wall several times on Discord. It's a great album, but overrated. For me Pink Floyd at this stage is already in decline. Of course it's worth reacting to, but sometimes I'm disappointed by popularity of that album. Also, Pink Floyd is everywhere in this channel, so I'm not voting for Pink Floyd ever again, even if it's one of my favourite bands. Unless Obscured By Clouds will be suggested, that's really underrated album by them. And I won't talk about The Astonishing, I might be banned from the community for harsh opinions and / or vocabulary.

Maxwell Talley

The Wall is their best. Yes including Dark Side.

Ryan Mellino

Happy to see a reaction to The Wall but I think Quadrophenia is a must-react for Doug, for me its the most musically cohesive of the classic rock operas, and has an incredible amount of orchestral backing throughout. "Quadrophenia" (the song) and "The Rock" are incredible instrumentals setting up and then recapping the themes and musical motifs of the record.
