I have three family members all born in years ending in five. So I decided to pick five from their birth years just for fun. This year is a huge year for birthdays as my oldest, she just turned 40, my youngest, he will turn 30 this July, and their mom will turn 60 this month. So five from 1965, 1985 and 1995. I tried to offer some variety, hopefully you have a favourite among these 15 albums. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

I really like the Art Zoyd, Present, and Herbie Hancock albums, and like some others, but it is especially between the Present and Art Zoyd for me. While both have been particular faves of mine over the past 20 years, that Art Zoyd is surely the one that means the most to me. Le mariage du ciel et de l'enfer is one of my very, very favourite albums. An absolute top tier album for me. ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me. |

Such a dark album that takes me places. And I agree an absolute top tier record for me as well. The last of their chamber styled albums before going more into electronics. Great pick! ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Yeah buddy! The organ is nasty on this one, great Italian vocals too. A 5 star record in my world. I got their new one and only the keyboardist is left, but I'm looking forward to it. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

I ended up voting Art Zoyd as well. It's a compelling record. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

I almost included Metal Fatigue for '85, I'm sure it would have got some votes. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

| IQ for me. I was very depressed and fed up in general with life and the horrid state of rock music at the time but then IQ come along with this raw almost punk like approach and kicked some life into the dead genre. The Wake still remains for me one of the greatest post 70's prog albums. IQ have a few actually but I will have to get over just how weak their latest effort is (although still better than 99% of what is out there, even on auto pilot they are still somehow great) |

It was between Present, Art Zoyd, Nuova Era and Porcupine Tree. I voted for the latter in the end. I’ve had a good long break from Porcupine Tree, so reintroducing myself to their psychedelic years has been wonderful. Love the phase from Up The Downstair to Signify - including stuff like Metanoia, Moonloop and Voyage 34. Regarding the Nuova Era; I vividly remember getting introduced to them, and this very album, by way of PAs Italian MP3 offerings. I absolutely loved the track and then used years - heck a decade trying to find the album n cd Btw love most of those 1965 releases as well but feel they’re somewhat out of the prog scope of this site. Herbie’s Maiden Voyage though is breathtakingly beautiful. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

The Beatles would've been the obvious choice but I'm going to be adventurous by voting for The Flower Kings instead.

A pretty heavy and abrasive record at times this one. It was the hardest one for me to get into of their 90's stuff. Killer album. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Yes, apparently a lot of people felt this way. I think I might take the top five from the two polls and give Misplaced Childhood some competition.  ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

The only album on the poll don't own is your pick! I need to check this one out. I've seen that album cover many times over the years. And I love your second and third picks. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

| ^ If you're at all into mid-sixties jazz, like Miles Second Great Quartet-stuff (which includes 3/5ths of who's playing here, only with Freddie Hubbard instead of Miles, and Coltrane's drummer instead of Tony Williams), it should really be a no-brainer. Most of Wayne Shorter's albums of the era, surpasses the ones he played on as a sideman in the mentioned quartet imo. And he composed most of the material for both. Speak No Evil is a sonic delight and probably on the gentler side of Post-Bop. Nothing too Avant-Garde or out there like All Seeing Eye in the other poll. Some of my favorite Herbie Hancock playing is on this. |
