Seriously, any of these could have got my vote, but being as I know I'll be the only one voting for the JE album, I went that way.... incidentally, I haven't considered the Jadis because it's a LIVE album? ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

Don't worry, you're not the only one who voted for Janison Edge, which makes a nice change from me voting for Mostly Autumn in every poll in which they appear.  I honestly think this is the best line-up of albums in this series of polls so far, although others may beg to differ.

Number of CD albums I currently own in the poll = 3 (Anathema; Dream Theater; The Moody Blues) Voted for..... Janison Edge |

Nah... Weather Systems is.. closely followed by WHBWH.  Judgement is probably the pick of their earlier albums, though..

My dog had a PTree, other dogs prefer PFire Hydrants. Sorry, a pretty p*ss-poor joke, I know, but I do like to reference the last post often when posting for more flow. Speaking of flow, this time the 'flowing' fluid being tears, I vote for The Enid - Tears of the Sun. ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before.

Going with the flow, we're on the same wavelength as one of my favourite albums in this poll is Tears of the Sun, although Janison Edge just had the edge for me.

Like quite a few Marillion albums, it’s ok - has some decent songs but others less memorable. See also This Strange Engine, Holidays In Eden, Sounds That Can’t Be Made, Anoraknophobia……….and Marbles…..although I would rate all of these ahead of .com |
