A strange year, really. A couple of releases that I really love, but still just barely enough albums that I would call good enough to fit in a top 10 list like this. 1. Rascal Reporters - Happy Accidents 2. Geinoh Yamashirogumi - Symphonic Suite Akira 3. Cardiacs - A Little Man And A House And The Whole World Window 4. Fred Frith - The Technology Of Tears (And Other Music For Dance And Theatre) 5. Ruins - Ruins III 6. Frank Zappa - Guitar 7. Vangelis - Direct 8. Nels Cline - Angelica 9. Ozric Tentacles - Sliding Gliding Worlds 10. Mr. Bungle - Goddammit I Love America!

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

Hey this is pretty awesome! Looking at the line-up it's no wonder it reminded me of Arcana - Arc of the Testimony

Weak year for me... 2. Marillion - B'Sides Themselves 3. Deja-Vu - Baroque in the Future 4. It Bites - Once Around the World 5. Vangelis - Direct 6. Queensr˙che - Operation: Mindcrime 7. Hawkwind - The Xenon Codex Could make it to 9 if I included the Marillion and Pink Floyd live albums. I hesitate to put Eloy's Ra at 10.

I've literally given up digging for prog albums. For 1988, here are my favorite albums of any genre....
The Pogues - If I Should Fall From Grace With God The Waterboys - Fisherman's Blues Van Morrison & The Chieftains - Irish Hearthbeat Tracy Chapman - s/t Debut Leonard Cohen - I'm Your Man Robert Plant - Now and Zen The Pixies - Surfer Rosa Jethro Tull - 20 Years of Jethro Tull Michelle Shocked - Short, Sharp, Shocked Enya - Watermark Gipsy Kings - s/t Debut |

Vangelis - Direct Al Stewart - The Last Days Of The Century Enya - Watermark Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of A Seventh Son Stephen Caudel - Bow Of Burning Gold Tangerine Dream - Optical Race Jean Michel Jarre - Revolutions 3 - To The Power of Three Keith Emerson - The Christmas Album Eloy - Ra that was a struggle , I only like the first 5 albums , the rest if filler . Eloy - Ra might be one of the worst prog albums ever released!
