Won't be too difficult for me. There are albums that I will always listen to and some others that I haven't played for years. I know where my first three votes will go to  :clap

Without a doubt the first to go is Privateering. In the retrospect, I remember this album as "this album with too many songs filled with blues numbers". It should've been a regular classic MK album, but instead, feels like a random collection of songs to break the "first double album" gimmick. So I would eliminate it, not for songs, but for the whole "album" aspect of it...

First for me was DTRW - lovely album in some ways and with some very good songs but not one I play a lot and certainly not one i instantly go to for an MK fix!...I'm gonna struggle for the rest of the polls though.....

Possibly Privateering will get my 2nd vote....

Votes are not confidential then  ;D so my first vote goes to Privateering for several reasons.

Votes themselves are wholly confidential but its totally up to the individual if they want to tell the world what they voted my friend! ;)

Tracker is my least favorite with no doubts.

The songs are too long and usually are long because they have a repetitive music going on and on where nothing happens that make me feel tired of listening. I only rescue "Laaughs and jokes, Basil and Silver Eagle", the rest are plain boring to me.

KTGC for me although I agree about Privateering. Could have been a good single album with the blues stuff removed.

Also KTGC for me and I agree about Privateering 1000%.
