I must throw a bone to the underrated and oft-maligned Cyclone.

Cyclone is a fabulous album, I love it no matter how maligned it might be!

I have never understood why it is "maligned".

National Health's debut - how I waited for it to appear! (I was 15)

I'm jealous that you knew about this music at such a young age. Here in Canada I call our music this "hidden treasure" that very few people seem to have discovered. I prefer Of Queues And Cures but it's a toss up really.

I feel privileged - at the time, I had already acquired both Hatfield albums and would read about National Health gigs but I was too young and had to rely on parents for late night ferrying. This album was hotly anticipated but I had to wait until later that year to finally see them - the 'Of Queues and Cures' line up. A cherished musical memory!

I went with Dead Can Dance's Serpent Egg according to my whim of the moment, but there are many favourites of mine here that easily could have got my vote. A Saucerful of Secrets, Nefertiti, National Health, Anabelas and Cyclone, A Little Man and a House... and Spirit of Eden are some other favourites. i really like that moody Blues album, the Wihite Album and Rush's Hemispheres has been the important Rush album to me (but I have not listened to Rush much in decades). Suffice to say, a great list for my tastes. Incidentally, you have what I have listed as my top three albums for 1988 in this poll, and various other of my most particular faves of their respective years.

1988 is an interesting year, not deep at all but there are some fine releases to pick from. I also like The Last LP by Faust. Death In A Blue Lake by When, as well as Nuova Era's l'Ultime Viaggio.
I went with Dark, it's one I gave 5 stars to and they were a multi national band based in Germany. David Torn guests on guitar and looping, as well as L Shankar on double violin. A challenging album.

"The wind is slowly tearing her apart"

"Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN

Maiden (they were a proper blokes band although why I liked them then is unclear lol)

Rush.

I've just listened (tripped effectively) to a cover of Set The Control for the Heart of the Sun. Saucerful of Secrets is my choice without even reading the other titles.

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Hemispheres > TD > Moodies > PF > Genesis

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson
