I voted NO, but would not have a problem with her in prog-related

Album wise, Life On A String.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I never heard anything by her, but I did read a lot about her in books/articles about performance art in the 70s and 80s. What would you guys recommend?

She did 'O Superman' didn't she - I always thought that was weird enough to be here with her other material - crossover for me though.

Oh well, I do like the way she thinks. Wink

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.

Seems more avant prog to me.  And remember, if it's in my collection it is probably prog. Tongue
Come on man, she's had freaking Adrian Belew in her band, she plays freaking violin. LOL
I also have to recommend her for Bright Red, Strange Angels, Home Of The Brave, United States Live.  Mr Hearbreak did have some pop tendencies, but they weren't all that strong.  Come on William freaking Burroughs. LOL

I think she's worthy here somewhere.  Particularly for Life On A String.

Ha-ha, posted those topics in the same minute (I always seem to come in last when that happens).

I wanted Laurie Anderson in ( I did propose it to the Prog Related team long ago, but don't know how she's fit that categories parameters now as they changed).  I think she was considered for Crossover, but can't remember the developments.

We had a couple of lengthy discussions on her before (for reference purposes):

I agree she should be here, but this has been raised before with no resolution.  Perhaps the third time is the charm.  Certainly attitudes have changed over the past few years compared to some of the arguments against including her in previous threads:

I really think she should be added, perhaps filed under Crossover Prog, or at least Prog Related.
