Again, coming in close on the heels of John's (Mellotron Storm) https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=135056" rel="nofollow - 3 poll - CLICK which covers 1973, 1983, here is my accessory poll covering 25 albums not in his poll. His poll had various albums that would have made my list, most notably Art Zoyd's Les Espaces Inquiets, Herbie Hancock's Sextant, Hatfield and The North's self-titled and Eskaton's Fiction. 1973 has the most selections, and I would have done more for 1973 to be honest except I wanted to give 1983 and 1993 some attention (John's poll has some choice for me 1983 stuff). This list is largely based on what I am most interested in these days, but I did leave off many favourites due to space and sometimes because I felt they might be too obscure. Please excuse what to you might seem obvious omissions from my list that are not in John's recent 3's poll. My Awesome Prog lists are much longer and those are very incomplete based on what I know and like. This is a multiple votes enabled poll. Vote for up to five (or more) albums in the poll and please mention what you voted for in a post. Thanks. 1973: Spirogyra - Bells, Boots and Shambles Message - From Books and Dreams Franco Battiato - Sulle corde di Aries Magma - Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh Gong - Radio Gnome Invisible Vol. 2 - Angel's Egg Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy Ralf Nowy - Lucifer's Dream Alain Goraguer - La planète sauvage Eddie Henderson - Realization Sergius Golowin - Lord Krishna Von Goloka Henry Cow - Legend Faust - IV Dedalus - Dedalus Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon These Trails - These Trails Mandingo - The Primeval Rhythm of Life King Crimson - Larks' Tongues in Aspic 1983: Cocteau Twins - Head Over Heels (not in PA) Codona - Codona 3 Bauhaus - Burning From the Inside (not in PA) 1993: Dead Can Dance - Into the Labyrinth Komeda - Pop på Svenska (not in PA) Björk - Debut Pram - The Stars Are So Big, The Earth Is So Small...

Thanks for the responses.
Actually not. I've been using my Awesome Prog lists of favourites while not using what is already in John's list and your list contains not only none of my favourites of mine but I know none of those (okay, I think i have heard Amenophosis but my memory is getting worse and I just woke up and I have liked Mark Isham stuff). That said, I would appreciate a choice track or tracks from any of those albums that you think would fit my tastes well (just to wet my wil.., um, appetite). It's not that I don't like enough from 1983 and 1993 to list more, it's that I love 1973 and wanted to list all of those as favourites of mine. I did leave off some that I thought may be too obscure or not get any votes like Konomi Sasaki's Ninjin (which also is not in PA or "Prog"). Be lovely to see some companion polls by you, by the way, covering albums that neither John nor I have covered (you did something similar in response to Paul's polls as I recall). I feel like someone like essexboyinwales would bring a lot more variety too becuase he is into some music avenues I have not much furrowed (more melodic rock/metal).

I have to vote for the fantastic Sulle corde di Aries, without vote up to now. Behind that there are many candidates. Pink Floyd and KC don't need my vote, so I go for Bjork, Dead Can Dance, Faust IV, Magma, and Henry Cow. Ouch that's six, so I won't vote for one of these.  ------------- I make typos so you see I'm not a machine, but I may be a machine pretending to not be a machine. |

Interesting! :-D I am not allowed to vote here, but commenting is tolerated so it seems. Obvious omissions here would be Agitation Free's 2nd and Inside by Eloy. I'm guessing Brain Salad Surgery was "too obvious" perhaps. Larks' Tongues is the clear winner here though. |

^ You just need some more posts to vote. That was disabled due to abuse years back. I love Agitation Free and I like that Eloy album, but I'm not into that ELP (or much into ELP, I like debut best) and so it would not have made a list of my favourites.

Yep, ultimately all these things come down to personal taste. That Dedalus LP is a cracker by the way. I was looking for the Van Der Graaf album from '73 and then realised that they were taking a break then :-D |

Taste indeed, and in matters of taste there can be no dispute as the saying goes. I actually used to like ELP more but also have come to appreciate the band more quite recently than I have over the past 20 years. It has been over 20 years since I even attempted listening to Brain Salad Surgery. It's an interesting band in how divisive it can be (out of fashion as some have put it). We would often get people who were surprised, shocked, and even offended, angry and/or upset not to see it doing well in the charts or getting more recognition and acclaim. Now ELP's debut is in the PA top 100 and I think that does seem to appeal to a wider audience than other ELP albums. I love VdGG through the 70s. Somehow I sometimes forget that an album like Pawn Hearts did not come out in, say, 1973. I love the early 70s, but it just feels mature for 1971. It;s kind of timeless in a way, but also of its time, and VdGG can kind of feel ahead of its time to me. Hard to explain well. VdGG is favourite of mine and would have been high up my list, and in the poll if Mellotron Storm had not listed it already in his 3s poll (as my polls follow his without repeating the same choices). I do especially love the 1970 to 1971 period of VdGG (The Least We Can Do, H to He and Pawn Hearts rank amongst my very favourite albums). I really like that Dedalus album -- excellent. :) ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before.
