OLIAS OF SUNHILLOW

When i first listened to this album, I was like 6 years old! My dad had put this in the cassete player and at the time i didn't fully appreciate it. However, after relistening to this fine album it brought back great memories to me. Jon Anderson does a superb job at laying down landscapes of music and tells a fantastic story at the same time! This is definitely one of my favorite albums and it makes me sad that this is only Prog related! This album is definitely an essential album for me so I will rate it 5 stars, but in the grand scheme of prog, maybe not quite essential, probably only excellent.
