It is not necessary to post as to why you voted the way you did, but it would be interesting to the rest of us.

[Music Head]

2 thru 5 were all contenders for me. Settled on Remain In Light.

[Tiggi]

Fear of Music or Remain in Light for me.

Remain in Light pips the vote, because it's probably their most musically adventurous release.

I love this album...

I guess live albums don't count but Stop making Sense would be the one I'd grab in the event of a fire, Supertramps' Paris (a masterpiece) would also meet this requirement.

I won't vote in this one

[static1812]

Tricky - fave songs at either end of the chronological selection Psyco Killer and Flowers

[recordist]

this may not count but stop making sense is my favorite listen from these guys..

[ConMan]

I read some concerns about a lack of participation in this poll. One of my favourite bands really. Very tough to pick just one album.
