the thing is that Winwood is hardly the only "star" in Go (great KB organ too), and they're all doing a fantastic job
Di Meola, Shrieve, Schulze, Holland and Thrall are all well-known.
I know, I didn't even mention Steve Winwood in my original post. The "wrong vocals" gets in the way of everything for me. There's no getting around it. Ever. I've always been like that.


Well I guess this album would fit the Albums-You'd-Want-To-Hear as "instrumental-only" thread. I'd give you half a point in that would-be thread

Maybe not exactly guesting, but "prog stars" have taken part of many mediocre and even worse "prog" albums in the post-1970s.

Bill Bruford plays on the second Pavlov's Dog album, At The Sound of the Bell, which most don't seem to hold in nearly the same high regard as their first (I like it though).

great effing album.

the live one is good, but the follow-up, nit so much
Well, if I meant the live one, I would have specified. Steve Winwood is an ill fit for this music, but I don't really like the music either.


I also meant the original studio album, and I think it was Winwood best vocal recorded performance after Traffic until his 2003 solo album, About Time - which is by far his best solo album.

I never actually heard this album so I can't say for sure but I'm guessing this one: https://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=20117
