I could have picked Gallery as well.

Ooh, Tangerine Dream all the way for me, baby, very cool dancier track!

It's funny, I can't play Youtube clips on my work computer, so I was kind of trying to guess which track this was off the top of my head, I was thinking `I wonder if that's the one from `Exit' that kind of sounds like it could come from a `Beverley Hills Cop' movie - it wasn't, turns out that was `Choronzon'

^ Exit is very good !!
My vote goes to Eloy though. Colours is full of magic. And no, not because of the bare-bum butterfly girl

Good to see my favourite winning, I thought Hawkwind would be ahead.

I also searched for Chronozon when I was looking for this one, it's certainly a more memorable song and title :P

I remember exactly zero of these (haven't heard the Hawkwind though)
Lemme get back to you after I relish in these (hopefully) danceable tunes

I Love all three but Motorway City comes first, Eloy second and Tangerine dream a very close third :)

That Hawkwind is quite tasty.

I'm going with the majority here and voting Eloy. I really liked that track. Maybe I should spin the whole album. It's been a long time and I am after all completely smitten by its successor 'Planets'.

I chose Hawkwind. Some interesting drumming by Ginger Baker.

I remember composing a post for this poll comparing the three tracks, but I was not happy with the results which I thought too negative and so I didn't post it.

Tangerine Dream for me very easily. I actually dislike the other two, partially because of the vocals. That said, between the Eloy and Hawkwind, I would choose the Eloy. The Hawkwind lacks subtlety and polite refinement, is too cock rockish, hard rock, guitar hero-type driven type music (that said, I like Tim Blake and Ginger Baker a lot).
Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I observed before. It can be much like that with music for me; immersed in experiencing the moment.

Eloy

none of these songs make me think of disco music, but rather funk.
