More than 2/3's of them are excellent tunes. A little unfair given that some are only short songs and others are more in line with our love of extended play. None are the best representations of these bands output in the stated year IMHO. But I have to fall back on fandom and go with... 1 - ELP - Bitches Crystal 2 - Yes - Perpetual Change 3 - Jethro Tull Hymn 43 4 - Pink Floyd - Fearless The rest don't matter all that much to me. ------------- Thank you for supporting independently produced music |

1. Fountain. 2. Perpetual. 3. Hymn. 4. Fearless. 5. Sailor. The fountain, always in perpetual change, sang its crystal hymn to the fearless sailor. The man, erg, told me his tale as we walked down the street, to his house, and then into his room. It was a good year. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

From the list, The Fountain of Salamacis wins hands down. But my favourite 1971 track is The Hangman and the Papist from Strawbs' brilliant album From the Witchwood. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

Man-Erg, but some stiff competition. 'Hymn 43' is killer song - though FWIW I think that 'chucka-chucka-chucka' guitar thing Barre does here and much more so in 'Locomotive Breath' is inspired by 'Sorry' by The Easybeats. ------------- Believe me Pope Paul, my toes are clean |

Man-Erg - VDGG Although it might seem like the obvious choice for me, I was toying with B!tches Crystal - ELP and might actually have voted for Infinite Space (Conclusion) if it was there instead. However, Lemmings (including Cog) would've been an immediate vote. ------------- 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. |
