PAT METHENY GROUP: IMAGINARY DAY

Congratulations for including Pat Metheny in your site! This is one of his best albums. The reason is the creativity of the compositions, the quality musicianship and the soaring lyricism - the music is so visual, you can almost see a movie in your mind's eye as you listen. There are progressive elements that could be picked out here and there (I always thought that Pat is an in-the-closet prog-head - he finally "came out" on the The Way Up album). The albums just kept on getting better and better, until his ultimate masterpiece, The Way Up was released a year or so back. It's going to be tough to top that one, but Imaginary Day is pretty close.
