This came form longer list of male and female music artists. These are 25 male artists with one album as chosen by the album ratings at Rate Your Music. Most are in PA, but I added some faves of mine not in PA that I consider to be at least prog related. I plan on doing the part two at some time (if this had just been about my favourites then I would have gone with quite a few different artists and various different albums). Feel free to vote for up to five albums from the list that you appreciate/like. Kevin Ayers: Joy of a Toy Ayreon: Into the Electric Castle: A Space Opera Syd Barrett: The Madcap Laughs David Bowie: The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars Glenn Branca: The Ascension Leonard Cohen: Songs of Leonard Cohen Miles Davis: In a Silent Way Nick Drake: Pink Moon Edgar Froese: Epsilon in Malaysian Pale Peter Gabriel: Peter Gabriel 3 (Melt) Serge Gainsbourg: Histoire de Melody Nelson Steve Hackett: Voyage of the Acolyte Peter Hammill: The Silent Corner and the Empty Stage Herbie Hancock: Head Hunters Allan Holdsworth: i.o.u. Al Di Meola: Elegant Gypsy Neal Morse: Sola Scriptura Mike Oldfield: Ommadawn Jean-Luc Ponty: Cosmic Messenger Klaus Schulze: "X" Sufjan Stevens: Illinois Vangelis: Blade Runner Scott Walker: Scott 4 Steven Wilson: The Raven That Refused to Sing (And Other Stories) Robert Wyatt: Rock Bottom ------------- 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. |

| Steven Wilson. Raven is my favorite Prog album post late 70s. A Top 10 album for me in the Prog World. No album since the release of Rush's Moving Pictures has been played more. |

You know it's a pretty good selection of albums when Pink Moon and Ziggy Stardust (and a dozen more) isn't among your five picks. Robert Wyatt: Rock Bottom Miles Davis: In a Silent Way Peter Hammill: The Silent Corner and the Empty Stage Mike Oldfield: Ommadawn Leonard Cohen: Songs of Leonard Cohen |

Thanks y'all for the comments, and I hope this is a reasonably catholic list so people don't feel left out by my perhaps not diverse enough selections. Some have lamented some names not getting as much attention as they would like, and I have received criticism when doing just my faves (which too often have been repeated) that I missed all the good and even obvious choices (obvious even when not to my tastes) I tried to go outside of my interests, but still all these artist names were ones of many more that came to mind, and then I checked RYM to see which releases rate highly there. I left off various of my particular favourite artist names for more diversity. It's actually going to be at least three polls of names as I am over 75. As I am just pulling these names out of my head rather than researching (hopefully a good exercise for my memory), I will be bound to miss some that I feel I should have added. ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I observed before.
