11 delicious slices of Mom's proggiest apple pie, but which would you eat?

I'm going for Meatloaf's Paradise by the Dashboard Light. I saw it on The Old Grey Whistle Test when I was 17, and remember thinking it was one of the greatest things I'd ever seen. I saw it again recently on BBC4, and still think it's one of the greatest things I've ever seen. RIP.

Laurie Anderson. You haven't lived until you've heard Big Science, from whence O Superman comes. Compare to Kraftwerk but with a New York attitude.
The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty"

This one goes to Phideaux. "O Superman" is absolutely seminal, though.
I use they/them pronouns (feel free to ask me about this!)

Check out my music on my bandcamp!

Music Is Live

Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed.

Nothing on that list compares to Laurie Anderson's Big Science
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

Gotta go with Only Skin on this one. Ys in general is one of my favorite albums of all time, as well as one of the best modern folk records Thumbs Up
Take me down, to the underground
Won't you take me down, to the underground
Why oh why, there is no light
And if I can't sleep, can you hold my life
