On Eight we look at the years 1968, 1978 and 1988. One vote. I'm leaning towards Pink Floyd, Rush or Dark. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Omg lots to love here... I got a top three, but I'm not sure I can vote for one of them over the two others. How can I, when they create such different art? National Health- National Health Dead Can Dance-The Serpent's Egg Talk Talk-Spirit Of Eden -all amazing too: Pink Floyd-A Saucerful Of Secrets Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention-We're Only In It For The Money Miles Davis Quintet-Nefertiti The Moody Blues-In Search Of The Lost Chord |

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. ------------- 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. |

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 |

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 |

Woah! I love Cyclone, too, but it's up against The Spirit of Eden, National Health, Cardiacs (too lazy to type the title), Saucerful of Secrets, Anabelas, Serpent's Egg and more good stuff... I vote for Talk Talk but a lot of these are voteworthy. |

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 |
