The final year for these polls, so a part II poll after this. Looking here at 1973, 1983 and 1993. I've left out some huge albums for 1973 like Selling England By The Pound and Dark Side Of The Moon. I also wanted to include Zao-Z=7L, Henry Cow-Legend, Le Orme-Felona E Sorono, Embryo-Stieg Aus and Tangerine Dream-Atem but so many more. I think i stumped myself here, but this is a good excuse to play some of these. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Wonderful choices... There is more that I like here, but Herbie Hancock's Sextant, Hatfield and The North's self-titled, Eskaton's Fiction and Art Zoyd's Les Espaces Inquiets have been the most significant to me. My first thought was to navigate to Sextant, but I quickly migrated to Les Espaces Inquiets.  ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me. |

No obvious favorite this time. Although many great albums. I think this is my top five: Hatfield And The North- s/t Art Zoyd-Les Espaces Inquiets Camel-s/t Eskaton-Fiction Anekdoten-Vemod -this one underneath seem to be the most popular among them, but it's always been my least favorite Mwandishi-album: Herbie Hancock-Sextant |

MO > Camel ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson |

Went with Marillion. RRUUSSHH and Genesis are decent listens, but these albums don't spend a lot of time on the turntable. ------------- Welcome to the middle of the film. |

Camel's debut deserves a vote.

Birds Of Fire also fond/very fond of Alphataurus, The Script and Vemod ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

Many great ones here. I vote for Anekdoten as they don't have a vote yet, but could well have voted for Art Zoyd, Camel, and the Ozrics. ------------- I make typos so you see I'm not a machine, but I may be a machine pretending to not be a machine. |

It's one of three Art Zoyd albums that I've given 5 stars to, so yeah big fan here. I'm glad you migrated over to the dark side. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

You may have stumped yourself John but you’re not alone  Then again seeing Sextant without any votes makes me sad, so that’s where mine went. These days I rank those three Mwandishi albums just about equally depending on my tastebuds dujour. There is a strong ‘beehive quality’ to the proceedings that I really dig, Hornets naturally included. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

I'm with you David! I ended up voting Alphataurus simply because they had no votes. Only Eskaton is without a vote which is not too surprising I suppose. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

I sure guessed wrong here, I thought this album might run away with it. Not Marillion and Hatfield And The North. I'm a huge fan of Camel's debut, Mirage and Moonmadness. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |
