And this is the part that is hard to discuss in this bored! (can't use "board" anymore!)

 

There are too many admins that simply go out of their way to just stick to the idea of top ten, and their "numbers" and as such they are not capable, even worse WILLING to give different musics a good listen, because the only listen they can do is the perfunctory 7 minutes, and then back to playing their favorite piece of music, because they can't handle something different.

 

I have been a huge proponent, for example, of the early days work of Egberto Gismonti, on his guitars, as very progressive, hard to even consider them "jazz", but mentioning it here, is like a death knell for him and Brazilian music, because these people have no idea, and they think that Flora Purim, Airto, Milton Nascimento, Astrud Gilberto, Villa Lobos, and so many others, were nobodies that couldn't possibly know music, or play it, because only London and NY have music and the media for it!

 

Even now, it's almost impossible to get these folks to give a DECENT listen to different things. The immediate reaction is always negative!

 

Another example ... check out the Japanese thread ... for the number of posts in it, it should be the number one thread in the bored. Wanna check how many of these other folks actually heard anything? You got the idea!

 

Yeah right on Moshkito, it is really disappointing what you pointed out, but I think that even worse is when I see my country's (from our country if you are brasilian too) nowadays generation, I can count with the fingers of a hand the people who actually know and/or appreciate at least two of those great brasilian artists you pointed out here, and for them this is a much more painful indifference - in their own country towards artists who belong to the most essential part of the brasilian musical history. Anyway, as it is commonly said: "Nobody is prophet in his own land", but to be honest I consider that the brasilian historical memory in general should have more value for the brasilian people than it has nowadays.

These need some love.

I'm pretty sure it won't

 

Magnification has more chance from later Yes releases

 

At the time Drama was derided by many because of the Buggles connection but I reckon that has now achieved full blown 'classic' status but in my view there is nothing later by Yes that fits this description. Anderson, Wakeman, Bruford, Howe could have been a contender if it had been Yes

Animals is my favorite as well 

Ummagumma - Pink Floyd

Too Old To Rock 'N Roll, Too Young To Die - Jethro Tull

David Bowie (1967) - David Bowie

The Aerosol Grey Machine - Van Der Graaf Generator
