Only in this crowd would TMV ever seem "mainstream"

^ more importantly: The TMV album is not exactly safe or mainstream.

What did you expect, Dick? This isn't fusion archives, much as you may prefer it.

Which 3?


Van Der Graaf, Volta and Wobbler.

I also voted for Animal Lover by the Residents and Fantomas' Suspended Animation.


...oooh hang on. I voted for Guapo too, I seem to recall. Maybe I didn't vote for Wobbler after all.

Yup, Aerial was on my list - a cd-long concept piece. Perfectly conceived and executed. Defintely one of the standout albums of the year for me. Just unfortunate that not enough of the other collabs thought so too... Shame on them

TMV IN TOP 5.... YES.

Otherwise, couldn't say much for other albums.

Only one of my choices made the top 5 (VDGG). It's a good selection of contemporary progressive rock, although the absence of Guapo is a bit of a mystery (or am I biased?).

I still have to hear Wobbler and Van Der Graaf Generator, but the other three are surely in my top list.

I must say that I can't help but agree that Deadwing was the album of 2005

...some interesting choices...

I must admit, I wondered what you lot did in there....
