   1-By the Way-Red Hot Chili Peppers (My first album, got it when I was 10)2-All That you Can't Leave Behind-U2 (One of the albums I grew up listening at home)
3-The Division Bell (One of the 2 albums that got me into Floyd, the other being The Wall)
4-Selling England by the Pound-Genesis (One of the first prog albums I got and one of my favorite, so...)
5-Trilogy-ELP/Fragile-Yes/A Night at the Opera-Queen. I guess it was probably one of those)

I guess it could also be one of The Beatles like White Album or Revolver as they were also one of the first bands I became a fan of. Seventh Sojourn by Moody Blues and ITCOTKC are others I have listened to a lot.

	Rick Wakeman - Journey to the Center of the Earth Joni Mitchell - Travelogue Monteverdi - 7th and 8th book of mandrigals Yes - Fragile / Tormato Genesis - Trespass Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath Chad and Jeremy - the Ark Peter Gabriel - So Simon and Garfunkel - Greatest Hits CSNY - Deja Vu Elvis Costello - Brutal Youth / Juliet Letters Rolling Stones - Goat Heads Soup This is what I could think of on the spot. I listen to music most of the time and it's sad because I often overplay music until it "gets old." But the good thing is that every time I return to whatever I overplay after staying away from it for a while, I still get the same kind of warm feeling and enjoyment out of it, so that's good.

	All from my teens, because nowadays I listen to a lot more variety, but back then listened to the same few albums over and over, and little else.... Men At Work - Cargo. My first cassette at age 12-13. Every day for months on my Walkman, because it was the only cassette I had and I Loved it. Yes - 90125 My first intro to Yes (age 14-15?), and me and friends thought it was the greatest thing ever. Rush - Moving Pictures/2112 My intro to Rush (age 14-15) both on the same cassette, about equal listening time. U2 - The Joshua Tree. (at least the addictive side 1--often skipped side 2). Paul Simon - Graceland. Still think this is a brilliant album After this, a tossup of other albums including Classic Yes; Sting, Dream of the Blue Turtles/Nothing Like The Sun; Rush, Power Windows/Grace Under Pressure/Permanent Waves; Mannheim Steamroller, Fresh Aire series (esp Fresh Aire III, my fave); and some classical tapes that I don't remember now (mostly Chopin, my fave classical composer).

	For me, I listened to The Eagles Hotel California a lot during the summer of 1994 at my first job as cashier at an amusement park gift shop. We had a tape deck under the counter and in an assortment of tapes this was the best! Other albums I wore out were Joe Satriani's The Extremist, Fleetwood Mac- Rumours, Pink Floyd The Wall and Ummagumma.

	Hi, In the early days, I listened to a lot of "Atom Heart Mother Suite" and then later, "Echoes". They still remain my favorite PF stuff. But right after that, as soon as we came across it, "Ege Bamyasi", and "Dance of the Lemmings" took hold, and by then, "Phaedra" was one of the top ones. Since then, there are many Klaus Schulze things I really like (Audentity, X, Mirage) and a lot of Peter Hammill on his own, of which "Over" is a very special album for me as is "The Silent Corner and Empty Stage". VdGG is still important "H to He", and "Godbluff" and "Still Life". Later Holger Czukay won the honors with his first two albums, both of which added to my imagination so much. Both "Movies" and "On The Way to the Peak of the Normal" are exceptional, specially in the long cuts. Amazing mixes of sounds and composition, even if it was somewhat improvised, but it still stands up today, as highly progressive, though some would think them weird. After 2000, the band that got me good, was Djam Karet, and it has remained there since. There are a few things here and there I enjoy, and Dream Theater with an Orchestra is totally insane and amazing, and not something that most people can enjoy or appreciate I would imagine. It's a very difficult mix, and makes Mike Oldfield come off like MOR sometimes. But the musicality of it is great, and the courage it takes to do something like that, and well, is amazing. I have not specially enjoyed, to the point of having to go get 4 or 5 albums, any of the so many new things listed here, for some reason or other. Sometimes, it is like it feels like a copy for me, and it does not hit your moods or gonads, like "Mysterious Semblance at the Strand of Nightmares" did, or "A Tab in the Ocean" did, or like "Tales from Topographic Oceans" did. I keep looking for music that will tear apart to shreds, anything that I have ever heard, so something that "sounds like" something else, is not usually a good thing for me. At 65, I think that finding new music for me, is likely to be over. Maybe it's the age that has a tendency to remember too much, and not allow some new things to shine, but for me, anything new for a long time, and including classical music, has a tendency to rip apart everything you and I know ... and this is not happening in the age of the DAW, and people using metronomes and sampled stuff, to recreate something that has already been done. I think that we have to let go the meters and the metronome, to allow the "visual" to flow even more, but that's me. Other than that, only KC's show with 3 drummers and RTF with Jean Luc Ponty, have stood out for me, as music that is so well rehearsed and played, that it is like seeing one of the masters in classical music ... played to perfection, and ripping your senses apart ... and like RF requests, if you close your eyes, the experience, will last the rest of your life. Both of these shows, stand out as two of the very best I have ever had the chance to see, and it might be really hard to remove KC from the top spot, over TD on their first tour in America at the Santa Monica Civic.

	My 5 most listened to... 1 - ELP - Trilogy 2 - Yes - Close to the Edge 3 - Genesis - Selling England by the Pound 4 - PFM - Cook 5 - ELP - Brain Salad Surgery Granted, this is mostly due to the fact that I play the livin' hell out of these in my youth when they first came out and continue to spin them more than occasionally these days.
	Thank you for supporting independently produced music
