Wow, Dellinger and the OP.. you both should listen to some Wishbone Ash sometime, I promise you they're REALLY good. Have a lot of great albums besides Argus. New England, Front Page News, Wishbone Four.. to name just a few. For a long time they were my favorite band, they're that good.

Even I could have answered this question, and I haven't even heard music from Wishbone Ash.

The hard part was logging-in, posting, and then getting past Captcha to get an answer posted in three minutes. Wouldn't it be cool if Captcha used Prog album cover images. Click on the album images not Dark Side of the Moon. Now choose [insert album cover exclusively on bandcamp made on a Commodore64 in mum's basement that almost no one knows].

I expect that there are many who know much more than me. Aside from my flurry of collecting over a decade ago and time spent evaluating music here, at least I've spent enough time in the database to know quite a few, but I suspect that the Errors and Omissions Team would win the prize if we ever had a "Guess that album cover" contest (and some of our prolific reviewers, and other prolific additions people, would do well too). I don't know that much when it comes to modern Prog particularly.

Argus is an iconic album. I like the first two considerably too. I hold the second album, Pilgrimage, in higher regard than many -- got some really good music per my tastes on it. "Vas Dis" is great fun, and "The Pilgrim" is a very good track, I think.

Well done, Logan - although I'm sure you'd know tougher ones than that, given your undoubted knowledge!

Wishbone Ash's finest moment by some distance, Ggggggg! I remember making a 'Best of' C90 cassette tape as a teenager (as you did in those days before MP3 files and downloads!) and I think I included every track off Argus on it, as I couldn't leave any tracks out due to their quality. It's a lot easier to cherry-pick the other albums, as the standout tracks do tend to be fairly obvious amongst the fillers!

It’s a very good album, I think. Incidentally, I don’t think that I would have known the answer to the question before I started visiting this site, though I do vaguely remember it being in a friend’s older brother’s collection (it can help to be of the vinyl generation).

That album cover alone makes me want to buy this. Haven't explored Wishbone Ash before.

Other than the "I'm looking for an album with a white cover, and I think the bandname might have started with a The and then maybe the next word started with a B, The Babies, The Booties, The Bottles?", it might well be. Mind you, at other music forums, such as Master X's Home of Crunk, it might not be so easy.

I suspect that's probably the easiest question of that type ever posed on here!!

I thought the album title began with an a. Something like artemis but don't think that's it


Wishbone Ash - Argus.?
