Good though The Tall Ships and Blomljud are (and they are very good indeed), Martin Orford's brilliant The Old Road gets my vote. A wonderful swansong for one of the greatest talents in prog.
There are several other very good albums on the list: Mostly Autumn, Marillion, The Tangent and Strawbs.

My guess is that you don't know that North Sea Radio Orchestra album, and that you'll like it.

completely missed that when I scanned the list , but yes I echo those sentiments. It's also noteworthy that it features vocal by the late Dave Longdon on a couple of tracks shortly before he joined Big Big Train. (Nick D'Virgillio also plays on most of the album , actually its quite a line up with Andy Edwards , Steve Thorne, Gary Chandler, John Mitchell and Mike Holmes also contributing)

Pendragon - Pure wins for me. Great album with some epic songs and surprising changes.

That and the Birds and Buildings album are excellent (in very different ways).

Blomljud, narrowly ahead of Bantam to Behemoth.

Also, I believe the Willowglass album is "Book of Hours", not Days.
I use they/them pronouns (feel free to ask me about this!)

Check out my music on my bandcamp!

Thanks. I must have been confusing it with Enya's song. Embarrassed
