An odd choice for me, being mostly a pop album, but I went with Hodgson's Hai Hai. It's an album that makes me want to dive into a can of Pringles and turn myself into a moon.

Don't dive into the Pringles can, it's such an unhealthy snack, you might get hurt...

I have not heard (at least in full) the vast majority of albums here, however there are two albums that are to me stone-cold classics listed sequentially. One is what would be the underdog and much lesser-known, Paul Roland's A Cabinet of Curiosities. The other is the Überbee, David Sylvian's Secrets of the Beehive. I will give it Sylvian's uberclassic because it really is the bee's knees.

Two albums I've enjoyed since 1987: Pete Bardens' Seen One Earth and Geoff Downes' The Light Program.

Initially, TLP got many more plays. But now I'll cast a vote for SOE, because the gorgeous title track has aged better than any part of TLP.

Only know the Geoff Downes, Mike Oldfield and Roger Waters albums on the list. Voted for Waters.
