Despite my love for much modern music, these are all "classics". These are all from the Eclectic Prog category at PA. I used to be on the Eclectic team, and choosing just five is rather like choosing the fingers on just one of my hands to keep (okay, I'm right handed, so I go with those four fingers and thumb). It does make it a challenge when you keep the numbers so low. These are 14 of my favourites, and then I will pair down to five. Bubu - El viaje de Anabelas Gentle Giant - The Moon Is Down Gnidrolog - Long Live Man Dead Haikara - Manala Peter Hammill - A Louse Is Not a Home Island - Pictures King Crimson - Lizard Kultivator - Barndomens Stigar Bjorn J:Son Lindh - Musik från en storstad The Penguin Cafe Orchestra - Numbers 1-4 Plat du Jour - Zilbra Jean-Paul Prat - Masal Van der Graaf Generator - A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers Jean-Claude Vannier - Les gardes volent au secours du roi Tough, I'll go with these five today... Bubu - El viaje de Anabelas Peter Hammill - A Louse Is Not a Home Bjorn J:Son Lindh - Musik från en storstad The Penguin Cafe Orchestra - Numbers 1-4 Jean-Claude Vannier - Les gardes volent au secours du roi Really VdGG should be in there, but I'm using A Louse as the Hammill representative. ^ EDIT: Wow, I only know Marsupilami (great stuff) from Paul's list. Guess my knowledge of Eclectic Prog needs some work. |

I managed to listen to a whole Cardiacs album the other day (very proud of myself lol) so with that in mind Cardiacs - Fiery Gun Hand ** Also listening to King Crimson as a result of Scot's recent top ten KC songs video on his yt channel 'The Prog Corner'. I would go with Easy Money perhaps or Cirkus. A toss up between those. After that some Gentle Giant . Hearing Pantagruels Nativity a lot recently. Love that even if GG are a problematic band for me. How about some Peter Gabriel- Here Comes the Flood. Achingly beautiful and seems to have greater resonance nowadays with climate change. Maybe finish with Steve Hackett - Star Of Sirius. ** yep I know they are in Rio/Avant but I believe they are a perfect Eclectic band so I'm going with my definition! |

VDGG: Killer KC: Lizard GG: The Advent of P (for today) Curved Air: Metamorphosis Gnidrolog: Long Live Man Dead ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson |

I also once served on the Eclectic Team back in the day. Something I find fascinating is that in all my time here, I only ever rated one album from this category five stars. It truly was a mixed bag for me. Top five? I'll go with these: King Crimson - "The Court of the Crimson King" Van der Graaf Generator - "Refugees" The Tangent - "In Earnest" Gentle Giant - "Playing the Game" Van der Graaf Generator - "House With No Door" ------------- https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays" rel="nofollow - https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays |
