I'll include Pleasure Dome because I think Jackson and Banton were probably planning to leave the band around this time anyway and the original bass player returned for this album and a violinist replaced the sax and keys while Hamill played keys himself. Anyway, here's my top 10 
When she comes
The sleepwalkers
Scorched earth
Childlike faith in childhoods end
Lizard play
Emperor in his war room
Killer
Lost The undercover man
The habit of the broken heart ------------- Jazz/Classical Rock(70's style prog/fusion). Lots of prog keys and melodies(all original ideas) http://www.myspace.com/vigilante2008" rel="nofollow - http://www.myspace.com/vigilante2008 |

Way too hard... but (in no real order)... A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers Man-Erg The Sleepwalkers Childlike Faith in Childhood's End Scorched Earth La Rossa Pilgrims Wondering Meurglys III (The Songwriter's Guild) Lost And that doesn't do justice to the rest of the songs by them that I love (which there are a lot). -------------

there are a lot of people who don't like it. it is not an easy album to get in for many people (though I loved it the first time I heard it), because after a beautiful and melodic passage there usually follows a dissonant and chaotic one. if you are not into that, the album simply is not for you. but I simply love this aspect of it -------------  A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.

Pffft. 10... this is going to be hard. 1. Pilgrims 2. Lost 3. Sleepwalkers 4. Pioneers Over c 5. Lemmings 6. A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers 7. Killer 8. House With No Door 9. Out Of My Book 10. Cat's Eye/Yellow Fever 11. Meurglys III (The Songwriter's Guild) so tentative it's completely unreliable, and given there are four comfortable five-star albums in there as well as a load of great songs choosing is virtually impossible for me. |
