Sharing personal regional lists of favorites (and looking at what others post) for me is just an effective way of exchanging listening reccomendations. At least it is for me. I've never given a flying f**k about lists or charts or popularity or any of that. But this isn’t just the same 5 or ten folks over and over again.

Hi, The hard part is explaining to many of these folks that "top" this or that, or "favorite" this or that, never has factored in my tastes for music, which are spread out all over the world, thus, my ability to state a favorite of any band is really hard and not worth the hassle. When you have listened to music diligently for 60 years, and appreciated all different kinds of them, from classical, to folk, to jazz, to rock, to musicals, to this, to that ... you name it, as a person that loves music and appreciates it to no end, the idea of "favorite" is ridiculous and crazy! I have some things I love to listen to now and then, but they are all already in my heart and I don't have to play it again to remind me of what I missed. This would be the case for AD2, Ange, Banco, Can and many others ... I guess they could be considered "favorites" but I have never looked at them as a nationality other than that of music!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I am absolutely with you here, Pedro! To me, attempting to work out my favourite or top artists or albums is ridiculous and crazy. There’s just too much I love, spread across time and place. |

Considered entirely in general, I feel pretty much the same.

How about Danish Prog? Since you are located in Copenhagen, I would be curious to learn your Top 10/12 Danish Prog albums. My fave French Prog albums are (1 album per band as requested, in alphabetic order): Abus Dangereux - Le Quatrieme Mouvement (1980) Ange - Au-Dela Du Delire (1974) Arachnoid - Arachnoid (1979) Atoll - L'Araignee Mal (1975) Carpe Diem - En Regardant Passer Le Temps (1976) Dün - Eros (1981) Eskaton - 4 Visions (1980) Etron Fou Leloublan - Les Poumons Gonfles (1982) Magma - Kohntarkosz (1974) Moving Gelatine Plates - The World of Genius Hans (1972) Pentacle - La Clef des Songes (1975) Wurtemberg - Rock Fantasia Opus 9 (1980) Gong - "You" would make my list, but I don't consider them as French band (Various, not French)

Welcome very much to your contribution here, as well, Enigmatic.
"Danish Prog"? Well, such a thing it's not so much worth for consideration, if you ask me, maybe except from Prog Metal - even I surely could recommend for instance Secret Oyster's Sea Sun, which I find allmost as good as the best of American Jazz-Rock. So, I'm afraid, I won't be the one who makes a thread about it, but I can tell you that Mirakaze have plans for Swedish and Norwegian threads, which are something entirely else by my opinion, as well.

There are at least 3 Danish Prog albums that are pretty high in my book: Burnin' Red Ivanhoe - M144, not extremely progressive, maybe that's why low ratings on PA? I would put this album in jazzy psych/proto-prog category. Coma - Financial Tycoon - jazz-rock/fusion with Zappa influence. Less known album because for many years not available on CD format. Culpeper's Orchard - S/T - this is more of a conventional rock album with some prog-y and folk-y elements They are not essential but definitely excellent addition to any prog rock fan collection. Ache - De Homine Urbano would be next on my list. Thanks David_D for you Top 6 of Danish Prog. I see it now.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

I would like to mention an artist that as far as I saw has not been mentioned before: the French guitar player Christian Boulé. I highly recommend his two solo albums "Photo Musik" (yes, with a "k") and "Non-Fiction". here example tracks from both albums: Edited by BaldJean - February 11 2022 at 02:41 |
