So this is, I think the tenth, and probably last, poll in a series where I have tried to never duplicate albums that I appreciate and have made playlists of a track I like from each album. Still lots of albums I'd like to cover (and some of my favourite acts have not been covered at all) so I might do one more.

I have done this in part as I was losing some interest in music, and making playlists revives some of that interest and gets me to return to music and to listen in a new context. Here's the playlist (one track per album) for this poll in case anyone else wants to check some music out.



https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4KTJmQvGf-1OaNec8Wo4rQP

I expect that a lot of this music won't be to most tastes here (or known), but hopefully most people will find something to appreciate here, and some with tastes that trend to align with mine when it comes to a variety of music will appreciate quite a lot here.

Please vote for up to six albums depending on how many you enjoy (if you go over, that's no big deal, it's a pretty arbitrary number, and it is better than not voting for any). :)

In no order of preference: The Pentangle, King Crimson, The Residents, Magma. I just introduced the Residents to one of my nieces, who will share it with her sister.

Titanic Rising is absolutely amazing. I hate to say it, but it's my favorite album out of these (at the moment).

I only have Piper at the Gates of Dawn and Basket of Light, and I hate the former now, so Pentangle gets my vote.

Weyes Blood is fantastic, and (doing a Paul) I have been lifted up by Titanic Rising. I often favour what I think of as more progressive and art pop than what I think of as Progressive Rock and Art Rock, especially post 70s (and a lot that would be crossover). And I find much of the pop (as a genre classification rather than meaning popular) more progressive than Prog in a way.

Today I am more into the modern stuff and less what one would associate with traditional notions of Prog, so...

Pan Daijing - Tissues
Weyes Blood - Titanic Rising
Bruno Pernadas - Those Who Throw Objects at the Crocodiles Will Be Asked to Retrieve Them
Sufjan Stevens - Carrie & Lowel
Swans - The Seer
David Bowie - Hunky Dory

EDIT: and since I said that one doesn't have to stick to a maximum of six albums to vote for, I had intended to give Art Zoyd's Faust a vote, which is one of my very favourite Art Zoyd albums and Art Zoyd is one of my very favourite acts in PA. .

Very glad to see so much that people do enjoy in the list. :) Thanks to all.

Titanic Rising has been the perfect album for me in the last year - and my most listened to. I must have spun it more than twenty times before I even thought of checking out the rest of her discography. When I finally did, I started with the equally wondrous Front Row Seat to Earth from 2016, and worked my way further backwards. Doing so I've discovered a progressive artist in the truest sense. From her dark ambient/experimental folk-beginnings through this sort of progressive folk / psychedelic folk-period (not necessarely progressive as in "prog") into her present grand, yet intimate baroque pop-era... I've been loving it all. Including the latest album And in the Darkness, Hearts Aglow*, which I've come to learn is the second part of a trilogy.

...I've tried to select six albums out of these, but it proved to difficult. I know Red, Duck Stab, H to He... and of course Titanic Rising would be "always" be among them. And probably Impropera... But I want five or six albums in the last spot. But these polls are mostly about shining a light on some of your favorite music and getting some replies, aren't they? I know it's mostly about that whenever I make a poll.

*before her solo project, in 2006, the eighteen year old Natalie Mering, aka Wise Blood (a little later Weyes Bluhd) played keyboards, bass, sang (and based on photos I've seen, often drenched in fake blood) etc... in noise-bands such as Jackie O-Motherf**ker and Satanized. She's come a long way since then:) Can't wait to see her live, later this year.
