You see I instantly feel bad for not including Il Balletto di Bronzo's Ys and Tangerine Dream's Alpha Centauri - which are every bit as amazing as the aforementioned albums....------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Yeah, I think it's a tie between Lizard and Sharks' Lungs in Plastic for me, but I listened to Lizard here the other day, and it blew my socks off! With Weather Report I much prefer their early abstract ferociousness to the smooth everyday fusion they started dishing out in the mid 70s. Jaco is great though. So cool to see you digging Ze Smiths. Love love love that band! Oh and btw, I see you included Jaga Jazzist in your list as well. Have you checked out their new Live with Britten Sinfonia? One of the best releases of 13 imho. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Yea WR were in their prime their first 6 albums or so, their debut and Mysterious Traveler ranks 2 and 3, not sure in which order though sometimes. KC is weird band for me, their with VdGG of the classic bands that i actually LOVE - but i have to be in a certain mood to listen to their albums besides the common playing of Ginjeet or Easy Money (my favorite song of theirs). And to The Smiths? Recently got into them and Morrisey (Lord and Savior), and i'm quite hooked. I listen to Hatful of Hollow at least 3 times a week in it's entirety. Morrisey wise, his album Beethoven Was Deaf is by far my favorite. Jack the Ripper was my introduction, and oh what an introduction that was. The guitar, the lyrics, vocals, mmmm ;D And yes i have, i watched the live footage on YouTube too. One Armed Bandit sounded hot! ------------- Crushed like a rose in the riverflow. |

Recently I find myself more and more attracted to Strangeways here we come - an album I didn't think much of back when I bought it in high school. Now I absolutely adore it. Morrisey solo is a bit hit and miss with me, but I do like the debut. Oh and Easy Money is da bee's knees comrade ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

^ Very good list though I like several from Glass Hammer better, also Anathema is well, just that to me. My list has been changing recently. Keeping it to one per artist: Selling England By the Pound - Genesis Lizard - King Crimson Mirage - Camel Still Life - Van der Graaf Generator Octopus - Gentle Giant The Sky Moves Sideways - Porcupine Tree Unfold the Future - The Flower Kings SMPT:e - Transatlantic Per Un Amico - Premiata Forneria Marconi U.K. - U.K. |

^ I am a Glass Hammer fan and I have to say that the 2 albums with Matt Mendians drumming are probably my favourites. Anathema completely blew me away (excuse the pun) with Weather Systems. That rarely happens. I did almost include that UK album in my list and then couldn't decide between that and Danger Money. In the end I included neither

What's the deal with the small text? Anyway, yes, it is very possible, especially since this is our own personal top 10 list, which obviously means our subjectivity and own tastes get in the way of things.
I certainly couldn't give a top 10 list objectively. That's just not in my nature.------------- “Music is enough for a lifetime but a lifetime is not enough for music.” - Sergei Rachmaninov |
