On this poll we're looking at the years 1996, 2006 and 2016. One vote.
I'll be the first to vote for Bowie, it's a clear favourite for me among these.

You have two of my absolute favourite albums here with David Bowie's Blackstar and Swans' Soundtracks for the Blind. Choosing one of those two is like choosing between my two children. I am going with Swans only because you gave Blackstar a vote already and I expect it to get lots of love, very well-deserved love and respect for that album. It is an amazing accomplishment, such a great swansong, and a remarkable culmination of not just a career, but a life (as I have said before about this album).    But then there is this Swanssong reaction, and I love the BTS ("Bring The Sun") message on the shirt. ;) :p



Those are two of my most listened to albums over the past years. And if I do a 2016 one, Swans' Glowing Man will be there. :)

I also love Nonagon Infinity, Corima is great, and that David Sylvan album is very good. I should listen to more Russian Circles. Great poll, imo!
Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I observed before. It can be much like that with music for me; immersed in experiencing the moment.

I thought you might like this one Greg
That "still" for the video you posted is priceless. Two emotional teenage girls. I was going to include Moon Shaped Pool as well but I thought that would be too much.

^ Yeah, it's hilarious to me. Those girls did become a meme. Funnily, I kind of reacted the same way when I first heard that part of Helpless Child (but on the inside because I do have some restraint, unlike those helpless children I might say).

By the way, I forgot to mention Bondage Fruit in my post above, that is another of my favourites.

I could vote or half of these albums. I'll choose someone with n votes in the end.

Blackstar gets the nod.

A top three was easy to spot, but not necessarily as easy to make the top three. I get a lot of joy listening to the third option, and less joy listening to the top two - but I get other things, that's also of importance:)

I'm glad to see your vote. I wasn't sure about some of the ones I included but this third record from Tillison and the band is a good one. Their first record without Roine Stolt. Get uses to it.

A monster of an album that was made in Japan. The zeuhl element is awesome with those vocals etc.

Another one I'm glad I included as it has some votes. It and Corima were the last two to be added to this poll. This might be SB's most underrated album. Released the same year that Kevin Gilbert passed, they dedicated this record to him.
