Albums choices from 1966 to 1990

Logan wrote: So I planned to focus on lesser-known albums, but I did end up including some big ones (sorry haters of Cardiacs, but I love that album). Multiple choice enabled in case you want to vote for more than one. If anyone claims that this is the wussy way to go about it or that having multiple votes might skew the results of the poll, I don't treat polls as contests and am much more interested in what people write and any discussion than looking at the poll results. If you want to mention an "other", feel free as long as you do vote for and mention something in the poll (it seems rather rude to me commonly when people don't do so). I could have just as easily gone for other choices. {Edited to add the extra decade of music to the title}

^^ No worries, James. As it's not a contest, feel free to vote even if you only know and like one of them. I wouldn't expect many here to know the majority of these. If you don't know it, since you're a cinephile, and into some surrealism, I might suggest watching La Planète Sauvage (aka Fantastic Planet), and hear the music in that context. Directed by René Laloux (it's one of my favourite animated films, and I love all the Studio Ghibli stuff which has been better for watching with my kids. Some other animated faves include When the Wind Blows, Watership Down and The Plague Dogs films.



And while I expect you're somewhat familiar with horror legend Lucio Fulci, I don't know that you'd be into the film E tu vivrai nel terrore! L'aldilà. Especially or those into Goblin, Frzzi is worth checking out. ^^ And Gerinski, L'aldila does have symphonic prog qualities, but I guess it's not really 'good old symphonic prog" (more like an RPI approach).

Love the whole album, and I really love this:





L'enfant assassins des mouches is one that I would recommend to many.



^ That is really indicative of a style that I have been so into.

By the way, I started on second poll, but they are time consuming to make even though I don't do options not from my collection, and I realized I just want to focus on my very many Ennio Morricone albums at the moment (my main man).

^ I also like the second one more. I think it's the best known album on the list, not just generally, but in this community as well.

True, we three mean that we three mean that we like the third one more than the second one in Love's discography.

  Fabulous recording.  Mentions snot way before Ian Anderson.   But seriously, a masterpiece.

Cardiacs followed by Love, Cos and Art Zoyd in that order
