The Wyatt slightly edges out the Hammill.

that Wyatt album is imo one very important album for Post rock. It to me feel like a post rock ethos with its free developed and sweet melodies. Kinda think Talk Talk is inspired by the quirky nature of yet Robert is more playfull but the jazzy and pop referances are in a cool twist.

None of those 3 albums do that much for me musically but if forced to pick I would go with Comus....it has some really interesting folk going on.....Hammill never rang my bell and while the Wyatt lp is nice in places it doesn't really grab me either.

It's a toss up between Comus and Robert Wyatt. I am currently listening to the Rock Bottom, but it'll go to Comus for now. Despite that fact, it changes from year to year for me.

Much as I love the Hammill, to me it's also a toss-up between Comus and Robert Wyatt. Those are both desert island albums for me. Right now I'm feeling the "Bottom" a bit more.

It might be fun to do a poll pitting Genesis' "Wind & Wuthering" against Wyatt's "Rock Bottom". I might entitle the topic "Windy Bottom", butt I won't do it.

Thanks for the fourth option - otherwise I would have just come back later to vote for the one with the least votes.

Good observation! I never had that thought, but I love Rock Bottom to pieces, as well as Talk Talk.

I know Mark Hollis had a dislike for "jazzrock" and I've mainly noticed him namechecking quite a few jazzartists such as John and Alice Coltrane (& Elvin Jones), Miles Davis and impressionist composers such as Debussy and Satie + they the whole band loved Can of course. Doesn't mean they couldn't have been inspired by Rock Bottom, but I'm guessing similarities are coincidental and more because Wyatt was huge fan of jazz creating music within the realms of rock too. Lovely Interview about my favorite Talk Talk-album here (also mentioning Dylan, Love...).

Comus First Utterance - weird, beautiful, and terrifying all at the same time, but totally unique.
