Some of those album titles...Thick As A Brick, Free Hand, A Trick Of The Tail, One Size Fits All and especially If I Could Do It Again, I Would Do It All Over You...may not be the best choices for a date.

| I'd say Trick of the Tail. It's got some nice accessible tunes like Ripples, and the girls are more likely to recognize and like Phil Collins. Although as a young person, I don't think I'd risk playing prog to a likely partner. |

My ex used to really respond to the sadder Steven Wilson/Porcupine Tree stuff like `Buying New Soul', `Don't Hate Me', etc, but I remember listening to their instrumental improv P.Tree album `Metanoia' and her saying `You have to stop playing this, it's so boring....it's like...nothing music'
At this point I was like `You know, I don't think this is working anymore....' lol!
Only kidding! But seriously, this list is so strange, I couldn't imagine really ANY of these albums `impressing the ladies' much. God, one listen to Peter Hammill's screeching theatrical tormented rants and they'd run a mile!! |

A Trick of the Tail seems to have that melodic quallty that most of the ladies I have known go for. At least the missus prefers the more melodic stuff (she dislikes King Crimson and can't stand The Residents). For myself, though, there are some Vangelis albums that have worked really well date-wise, such as Antarctica and Themes. Loosing one's virginity to Thick as a Brick, though, is classic. ------------- After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. ~Aldous Huxley |

They don't exist. It was proven by ol' Nietzsche some time ago. I guess you missed it. He disproved gay men and discovered electricity right around the same time Richard Simmons was inventing Hinduism and the assembly line in 1642 - something something ocean blue. sh*t, that doesn't seem right. That's the last time I take my history lessons from books I bought in the Dollar Store. At least they were right about that fabricated moon landing fiasco stuff. To think, Neil Armstrong was actually a tralmafadorian transvestite carousel operator. The depravity that Washington will sink to! The de-evolution will not be traumatized.

1st place (both title sensuality/pervertedness and actual music): Caravan Perhaps ironically, their album In the Land of Grey and Pink would also win both for me compared with anything on this list. Last place (both title and music): Hammill....yikes. Also, I don't have any losing-virginity stories, but the first time I made out with my future wife, I put my playlist on random (starting with Journey for the lady, of course). She was still there through Jacob's Ladder, and the shuffle chose nicely by ending on June. ------------- Thank you, God of Rock, for this chance to kick ass |

I gotta say, this is a toughie. The albums that my girlfriend and I listened to the night we met were Starless and Bible Black and Red, then I gave her copies of Red and Inner Mounting Flame (the latter she's heard most often and really likes), she likes Yes, and my favorite album on this list is The Silent Corner, but she wasn't too keen on Hammill's voice when I gave her a copy of Godbluff, so I literally have no idea how to vote.
