Haven't seen anyone I can quote either.

A Farewell to Kings
Hemispheres
Permanent Waves

These and 2112 are the only ones I own, and my faves by a large margin.

2112 is a 4th place for me. The title track is great, but the other tracks bring the total disc down for me.

I actually thought the same after the first listen, but after listening to 5 others again, I really liked them. Passage and Lessons are my 2 other favourites alongside the mighty title track.

I'm actually surprised with the fact that Hemispheres is the second. But after all, it is pretty great one and The Trees is a top 5 song for me (from those 5 albums I've yet heard.

I will not vote, but my favourites now are 2112, A Farewell to Kings and Hemispheres.

  Part of me wanted to throw in Power Windows and Clockwork Angels.  Alas, that would have been impossible.  In two months, my list is bound to change.
