Artists on PA that you love, with no 4* ratings

That's weird; I saw the post's Topic and I thought immediately "that's one I can participate in; I will say It Bites"
And I had listened to Thankyou (sic.) and Good night this morning.

That is odd. INITIATION is a 4 star album in my opinion. His debut album as well.

I love 10cc… I’m going to go rate a few albums.

Knifeworld & Alamaailman Vasarat seem to be the only ones of mine that would qualify.

Uz Jsme Doma would make the list if their last 3 albums didn't all have 5.0 star ratings with a grand total of 4 votes across all 3 albums!!

Hi,

I think the albums have too much funny stuff for PA folks to enjoy. But the humor is not the American TV style of needing the laugh track because it isn't funny at all! It's too fake. Or maybe we don't want any Mandy stories that are depressing. Or worse ... too many folks here probably don't like I'm not in love! A love song can not be progressive!

Can you imagine a PA Admin dancing to the Wall Street Shuffle? I think we would laugh so hard and then cry! Too many Baron Samedi's here.

Carmen is an oddity. A band from LA that does Spanish music better than some of their own bands, and mix rock into it beautifully. Sadly, for the PA standards, this is a very tough listen, because it has some serious Spanish touches in it, that drive the music ... and all you have to hear is Bullerias, and admit that is pretty hot stuff ... except for Progressive folks ... progressive folks scream with guitars, not feet and castanets!!!!!

there's a few for me...

BJH up to XII for sure
Beggar's Opera's first 3 should have at least a 4 star for me.
Curved Air... Phantasmagoria, maybe?
ELO's first four... none are 4 star?
Greenslade
Grobschnitt
Triumvirat

just a few I can think of?

It Bites
Agents of Mercy
Nick Magnus

Yeah, all good suggestions! My ears dig it.

Nightwish 🙂

There's a couple. Jonesy for example.

and Bo Hansson as well ... what's not to like?
