Anybody wanna bounce and give their choice between fourth or fifth? 

I pick fourth, it's my favorite work of theirs. It capitalizes on the best aspects of third and doesn't let up its jazz credentials for a minute! 

Fifth was always a struggle for me; it feels conceptually disjointed (due to band dynamics during recording) while going into the avant-garde at times while trying to maintain the "blaring" sax sound of 4. Drop and All White are worth it alone. 

The band did not lose me completely until post-Softs despite me being less keen on their progression starting at Six and going forward.

	^^ Same. And now that I think more competently about it, I should have gone with Wind and Wuthering (I was going to and then second guessed myself). ^ I thought about doing the same KC combo. Love both, but going with Red --------------------- or Edited by Logan - October 11 2024 at 18:33

	^ Ege for me: much more fluid and consistent (some great melodic moments to boot)

	^ Might be asked to be moved to Just for Fun, but nice idea regardless. Close, but I go with Trick of the Tail (Blood on the Rooftops is my fave track of those, however). For mine: or

	Hi Everyone! Let's play a little game - the name is in the title. Here's how it works: someone picks two albums by the same artist that they either hold in high esteem, are generally rated about the same in quality, or that they dislike (2 stinkers so to speak). It's up to you. The first person to pop in (if they know the music) must give their choice of the two and then list their 2 picks for the next person, and so forth. Lets us use the ^ to signify who we are responding to and NO more than one at a time please! All sub-genres are fair game and please use images to illustrate. I will get the ball rolling... or ?
