Topic: Highest Place In UK Chart Posted: January 29 2012 at 08:33
These are all the highest chart positions ever for these artists. The numbers are the highest position and number of weeks in chart
for example
VDGG - The Least We Can Do Is wave.... got to the postioin of 47 and stayed in the UK charts for 2 weeks. And this album was their highest position.

Short Stories. The album came out when I was just seriously getting into prog. I was a big fan of Vangelis due in no small part to some of his music being featured on the documentary Cosmos. I was already a fan of Jon due to Yes.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Interesting Poll.
1. Camel - Moonmadness
2. Jon and Vangelis - Short Stories
3. Renaissance - A Song for all Seasons
4. Weather Report - Heavy Weather
5. Tangerine Dream - Rubycon

I voted Short Stories . Great, original album, even if it would not get the prog tag.

In The Wake Of Poseidon was KC's highest charting album??
No wonder they were always unpopular!
I voted for Heavy Weather because it's the grooviest.
