My four favourite albums here rate from 2 to 5 stars in the OP. They are:

Quote
2 stars 1998: Boards of Canada - Music Has the Right to Children
3 stars 1982: Cocteau Twins - Garlands
5 stars 1969: Writing on the Wall - Power of the Picts
3 stars 1997: Mogwai - Young Team


I really like that Writing on the Wall album and have been very into Cocteau Twins in recent years, and I like Mogwai, but my choice was obvious (same as in my avatar). I really love Boards of Canada's Music Has the Right to Children. Interestingly to me, it's a rare album I have played in the car that my son has actually mentioned liking (and he tends to favour classical piano music). In fact, I think it's the only time he mentioned liking the music of something I played in the car (other than when he was really small and I would play Zelda music in the car).

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

^ I'd always assumed Boards of Canada were Canadian (naturally), until yesterday.

Coming up tomorrow:- Irish Prog, including Rory Gallagher, Gary Moore & Thin Lizzy, who aren't really prog, but they're just too good to leave out, although I did draw the line by not including U2.

I wouldn't really consider Byrne's Rei Momo prog, but it's hard to keep your feet still listening to it...cool album cover too...

Boards of Canada likely is my favourite project with country in the name where the members are not from. Certainly when it comes to the country I live in. :P I love that dynamic Scottish duo.

I'm not a big fan of U2 generally, have not explored it enough but have liked various music very much, and I am not suggesting that you should include it, but Boy is such an acclaimed album that it does seem sad not to have it.

I actually was listening to U2 some time back, exploring it a bit more, and really liking "Unknown Caller" off the lowly rated at RYM album No Line on the Horizon from 2009.



And while I'm mentioning a track from U2 (its 12th album), here's a track off Music has the Right to Children that I have shared at PA more times than I have brain cells left (Aquarius -- damn I dig its groove). That little faceless kid on the right of the album reminds me of myself as a youngster even though I happen to have a face. Otherwise it looks like me, we both have hair!, and I had a shirt like that. Reminds me of a trip I took when young.

^ Okay, you've talked me into including U2 too, although I didn't need much persuasion.

I ran out of room to include String Driven Thing, but I can add them to the next Scottish poll in place of Sunday, who only recorded one album, presumably because they had to go back to their day jobs on the Monday.

you could replace Cocteau (who haven't got much to do in this list) with them (SDT).
