The Tàin by Horslips to be voted the greatest of all prog albums.

It should be; and I do not care what others state!

For prog to be appreciated for what it is, not as a commercial, money making trend that pop music has become.

I believe that Horslips are not given the recognition that they deserve. This site is dominated by the Yes/Genesis/KC/PF/JT appreciators and acts like Horslips seem to get dismissed and never discussed at length.

As the years roll on, the significance of The Tain to me has grown even greater than when I first heard it back in the 70s. It has an indescribable feel; a special something that I, as a listener, can appreciate.

It has a mystic story, great musicianship, melodies, impeccable vocal harmonies plus 3 lead singers, who all have great voices.....sort of what The Beatles would be doing in the 70s if they were Irish!

The Tain has left an everlasting impression on me.

Yes, I have Thick As A Brick as the #1 prog album but I would love The Tain to be known by everyone.

For Triumvirat's Helmut Koellen to get the recognition he truly deserves, for his solo album to be released on CD, and for his song "Mainstreet" to become a big hit!

For stupid procrastination I regularly read user comments on Brexit on the BBC webpage, and to me the probability seems low that if all the current politicians are gone we'll get better ones. (There may be good people with a talent for decision making around, but neither democracy nor dictatorship and probably not even anarchy will bring them in the positions where they should be.)   

All human beings to go away would be good for the rest of the planet though.

We should have cleaned up the planet years ago, as now the damage we have wrought is so entrenched that it is irreversible. I hate to say that, but....

Maybe you have a point, there, but only if we were all given the boot...right away, and permanently!

Anybody wanting to be a politician, should be disqualified immediately. However, homo sapiens is as driven by natural selection as any other species and the eventual extinction of the naked ape is possibly only going to.be avoided by space colonization...

I want humanity to survive, but I would like to see humanities birth rates go down around the world/ to see negative population growth. I would like to see more population control, but done humanely and fairly. It seems to me that members of the elite want more and more consumers and workers, but it's not sustainable. It's a very tricky issue.

I want to see nature survive (including humanity), and I want a shift in thinking for some who think that we are above nature (have dominion), and that we can exploit the world's resources as we see fit.

I want to see an increase in rational scepticism, and for more children around the world to be encouraged to think critically. I'd also like to see more altruism in the world.

It may surprise you to find out that calories and fat are complete red herrings. Sugars and carbs including bread are the real problem, meat, eggs and dairy are just fine.

My ultimate dream would be for Helmut Koellen to have played with Horslips on the Tain album. That way, two different people would actually agree that neither got the recognition they deserved.
