Today my favourite albums of all time are (Subject to change)-

Love* - Forever Changes
VdGG - Godbluff
West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band - III (A Young Child's Guide to Good and Evil)

*Ironically,Forever Changes is my all time favourite album and isn't subject to change.

Do 'The Stanley' otherwise I'll thrash you with some rhubarb.

ah yes, the description pasted on the plastic said 'vaguely prog/psych' or 'prog/folk', can't remember which-- saw the vinyl reissue today, looked interesting and I knew you might you'd know them.. so, worth the $15 or too risky... ?Tongue  LOL

Buy it now!

There's some beautiful and fantastic guitar playing on there.

Sometimes the guitar sounds like a cross between Steve Hackett,Anthony Phillips,Johnny Echols (Love) and Andy Latimer.

The female vocals can be a bit 'earnest' in places.A cross between Julie Covington,Annie Haslam and Judy Dyble (Fairports and King Crimson)

His vocals remind me of Ian Matthews of Fairports and Matthews Southern Comfort and Colin Blunstone of The Zombies.

I am playing it now.It's gorgeous.

Yes it was.It was re-issued last year to 'celebrate' the 30th anniversary of it's release.

That would be brilliant if they (Shuttah)were on PAs but as you say,their anonymity could be a problem.

1. Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
2. Van der Graaf Generator - Still Life
3. Comus - First Utterance

These are all albums which have at some point left me absolutely speechless with admiration, but i have a hard time picking amongst my favourites. I am pretty sure aout place number one, however.

Cool, top 3 is all I'm sure about, then I get lost and have trouble prioritizing.

1. Genesis - Foxtrot
2. Mr. Bungle - Disco Volante
3. The Mars Volta - Amputechture

Not prog:
1. Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
2. Burzum - Filosofem
3. Rage Against The machine - Battle Of Los Angeles(not so sure about  a #3 really...  it'll probably keep changing...)
