Modern Prog: Fifth Album

Some great albums here - it's Pendragon for me.

Apparently I voted in this poll without commenting, which is something I hardly ever do. I'm not sure if I voted for Swans' Children of God or Guapo's Black Oni at the time, both are masterpieces in my opinion, as is the Talk Talk. My other faves are the Present, Cardiacs, and Thinking Plague. Definitely my favourite for quite some time would be Children of God. That is to me an amazing album, with plenty of contrast.   As uploaded by Swans to youtube, here is the playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_m6Xu1PXQ8T-xG06qu5d2VlCItELtHIZpY

And here is a languorous and pretty little song off it sung by Jarboe:



It is one of my all-time favourite albums now. I adore it.

While it's the earliest Swans album that I would now recommend to those into more melodic and beautiful, after that over a few albums it gets more accessible from that music standpoint still, I think. Not recommending this to you Paul even if I think you would appreciate much of it due to your start to finish in the discography policy, but this is a live album from Swans (now out of print) from 1992 that covers some of the band's more accessible period. I think it's great. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHP7bAjOIkpDJcM5BQQzwuOTTuioW15-m

I'll vote for SB here, though there are many others that I also like very much.
