   Thanks a ton for the votes and discussion, everyone. Looks like Rotter's Club has won by a pretty fair margin, so it should be on my shopping list in the near future. That's not to say the other two won't enter my collection eventually; it'll just take a little longer before I set the cash aside to make it happen.

	Hatfield and the North is one band I wish had released more albums. Their work is so stunning and intricate. Where the band got their ideas from is anybody's guess, but the lyrics are so amusing and a little Cheeky/naughty in places. I have always loved both of Hatfield's albums. Both are perfect desert Island discs. Quiet sun, another classic. Again a band I would love to have heard more from.

	I love all of these but lean slightly more towards Hatfield and Hillage. I voted for the latter this time. Aftaglid has one of the most confounding and unnatural guitar riffs ever to grace a rock track. It's like Hillage purposely sets out to play all the surrounding chords to the factually "right" ones, so as you get...erm suggested a melody or a groove but your brain has to sort out how to insert it in the music. Really strange feeling but it works wonders imo.
