There's only one 5-star album for me in this poll and it's by Kate Bush. Who Else!  Admittedly though, I've only heard half the albums in the poll.

Three good albums from my standard candidates for voting, that is Kate Bush, Robert Wyatt, and Mike Oldfield. Vote for Mike Oldfield, just about. |

Diamond Dogs > Crises These polls keep reminding me that one of my projects this year is to acquaint myself with Roy Harper.

| Harper. Saw him live several times around this time including a hometown gig at Blackpool FC’s ground in 77. Met him in the pub in Blackpool several times over the years - nice bloke, no airs and graces at all |

the album by Hackett musically isn't that bad--but his singing his really bad--he would sing in a high register that sounded awful---on a lot of the albums from this period if he had gotten a good singer these albums would be remembered better.
