On this official first day of Summer I thought I'd start a new series of polls based on sub-genres. Nothing new of course, and the SUB in the title stands for Sub-Genre. The number beside it, in this case 60, stands for the position that all of these albums finished in within their own respective sub-genres. Which provides a link or connection at least(weak as that is) between these 15 albums. I'm sure all of these albums are complaining to each other about the lack of respect(lol). I did a modified search in the "top rated albums section" here to come up with the order for all 15 sub-genres. This will be a long series that will be a slow post rock build as it were. I might only do a couple of these a week, so Paul and others can have their space for their excellent polls. I don't want to hog the poll section. This might take us to the end of 2025. I'm not including Prog Related, Proto Prog, Experimental/Post Metal, Post Rock/Math Rock, Tech/Extreme Metal or Indo/Raga Rock. If someone wants to do those be my guest. And lastly I want to dedicate these polls to Logan(Greg) who has been an amazing Moderator on the site here but is stepping back to spend more time with his family. I've said this before but I have bought so many albums over the years just based on the polls Greg has done. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Nice idea for a looong series... I have heard three of these, of which Peter Hammill's is the best, followed by Göttsching. ------------- I make typos so you see I'm not a machine, but I may be a machine pretending to not be a machine. |

I like that the work for what albums are in each poll has been done for me. There is no stress this time in deciding what albums to include or not include. The result is that there will be many albums I've never even heard in these polls. I think there's six in this one I don't know at all. I do have a clear top two in this one, as both of these are in my "best of" sub genre lists. I just need to take the time to play them before I decide who gets the vote. Gateway's debut featuring John Abercrombie, Jack DeJohnette and Dave Holland is one of those along with that Homunculus Res album. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Thanks Lewian, I really need to re-visit that Hammill record, it's been too long. I like that the whole VDGG band is on that one. Gottsching seems to straddle the line between electronics and krautrock. What a guitarist though. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

An awesome followup to The Weirding. I have it as my third favourite on here followed by Grovjobb's folky album that I just seem to connect with. Two mentions of Gottsching's record already. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |
