1976-1979 Albums Poll - the Sequel

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

20 more albums I could think of, again I excluded Animals and Wind & Wuthering, otherwise all votes would go to them.

I wanted to add some Tangerine Dream but I could not make up my mind of the 3 albums I know of (Stratosfear, Cyclone and Force Majeure).

Also could not decide betwwen Alan Parsons Project first two albums, which are both excellent. 
Also Brand X was hard to choose as well, I thought of them.

 I wonder if the lesser known albums, little gems will get any votes/appreciation.

if I forgot an album you find essential, it can only mean 2 things: first that i am forgetful , and second is that I do not know it (and I'm sure I might not know a few). Kindly mention it, after all, I live and learn.

	Apparently you saved the best for the last. I give the edge to Still Life just above Hemispheres - and I would do so even if Animals and Wind and Wuthering were included. Eloy and Kansas are also good. Edited by someone_else - February 12 2015 at 03:02

	I'll go with Novella here. Probably would go for Tangerine Dream is Stratosfear was included. And I hate to say but yes, had Genesis been included here I would have voted for them :D Edited by fudgenuts64 - February 12 2015 at 04:31

	Fluid Druid. I met the band many times and loved their music. They were so much more than the Yes clones some describe them as.
	A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life.

	Grobschnitt gets my vote, although I can't believe that Hemispheres is so far behind.
