"Fish Rising" is incredible and my favourite.I only have "Motivation Radio" and "Green" besides my pick though.

I actually enjoy his second album "L" with Hurdy Gurdy Glissando in particular . The Utopia crew did well .

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Fish Rising is my personal fave, but he has made a lot of great records. Haven´t heard the one from 83, but he is consistently enjoyable throughout his carrier- including the Rainbow Dome thing which sees Steve mixing new age with electronic hippie love. What´s not to like

I like his live alum a lot. of his studio albums perhaps "Green" slightly in front of "Fish Rising" and "L"; "Motivation Radio" has its moments, but on the whole can not compete. Open sadly has only two good songs (the last two, which feature Dave Stewart).

Fish Rising and "L" are very close for me, but it's the atmosphere of the former that puts it slightly ahead.

Fish Rising and Green with Live Herald are all quality. Rainnbow Dome and Motivation Radio are good albums. Open is ok. I really can't listen to L mind, I think its the Utopian connection that ruins it.
Green gets the vote at this moment in time.

green and fish rising are my very favorite ones motivation radio is very close, i must admit i was hoping for more about L because of rundgren and utopia ( RA is a great album isn't it? ) but it doesn't realy work even if it countains good stuff
