Not too high on these groups, of course, I am a Queen fanatic, so I’m recommending, the black side of Queen11

2021-10-31 15:51:19 +0000 UTCI have no idea where I'm getting myself into, but I saw something the Whirlwind and could not to vote is.,. the live vesrion is awesome. Think about this - the backup player is freaking lead singer of pain of salvation...

2021-10-29 19:36:17 +0000 UTCI agree 100%. I heard the live version before I heard the studio version. On the first listen I was a bit disappointed that the studio version did not have the energy that the live one had. Still very good, but the live version gets my vote.

2021-10-27 15:39:31 +0000 UTCTough call between studio version or live video, but I'd lean video. Such electric performances. Especially Daniel.

2021-10-26 14:56:11 +0000 UTCTo be honest, the Whirlwind is the only real extended play on this list for me, as the rest of the songs are worthy of their own fridays :) I would also vote for the live version from London.
2021-10-26 13:54:59 +0000 UTCJust voted for The Whirlwind but I actually feel a bit guilty about doing so. 80 minutes of music mostly previously unheard. This is brain melting stuff.

2021-10-26 12:27:36 +0000 UTCThe Whirlwind has maybe replaced Tarkus as my all time favourite album. I have collected 1000+ prog albums and seen 1000+ concerts since 1969, I don't say this lightly!
Ken Slater
2021-10-26 09:28:56 +0000 UTCHe should have added All of the Above again at the bottom of the list.

2021-10-26 06:54:37 +0000 UTCAny of these will be a first listen for me, so I'll abstain and trust the community on this one.

2021-10-25 22:31:14 +0000 UTCI'm surprised everyone commenting is rooting for the studio version of The Whirlwind. It's good, don't get me wrong, but it's rather sterile compared to the live video, which is fizzing with energy. It was watching that performance that finally sold me on Transatlantic.

2021-10-25 22:01:50 +0000 UTCThose two songs are thematically linked as well, that would have been a no brainer pick for me!
Gary Thobaben
2021-10-25 20:57:53 +0000 UTCWas hoping for at least Duel with the Devil / Stranger in your Soul combo. Whirlwind it is!
Nathan Buege
2021-10-25 20:53:34 +0000 UTCWhy is The Whirlwind the only full album option?
2021-10-25 20:41:57 +0000 UTCI'd be happy to hear the studio version of "The Whirlwind".
Garance A Drosehn
2021-10-25 20:30:01 +0000 UTCYes, studio album is best.
Jeremy Taylor
2021-10-25 20:17:56 +0000 UTCSuper stoked for the Whirlwind! One of my all time favorites. I was probably going to pick it even if the whole Bridge Across Forever album was up for discussion but it would have been close, that one is amazing as well.
2021-10-25 20:16:50 +0000 UTCWell, it seems like All of the Above won't be picked. That's a bummer, since I feel like it's pretty close to a great album top to bottom, and I haven't like any of the subsequent albums quite as much. Hopefully Doug will get to SMPT:e at some point. Great stuff.
Ben Allen
2021-10-25 20:15:01 +0000 UTCHappy to be a Patreon supporter right now. I am torn between Stranger in Your Soul and The Whirlwind. Both are exceptional. For an extended play I am going with The Whirlwind and hoping we can get Stranger sometime in the future for a long boi Friday YT upload. As Eirik stated, I am also rooting for the studio version.
Peter Franken
2021-10-25 20:14:27 +0000 UTCIf The Whirlwind wins the poll, please do the studio version Doug. The live DVD is okay, but I don't think the sound on it do the album justice. I think the studio version is some of their finest work, both artistic and the production! 😊🙏
