Random Album Clash - 1985

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   The second 'act' of Misplaced Childhood is brilliant but I think Kate Bush nailed the pop and prog mix perfectly so I voted for that. Seems strange for me not to vote for IQ - The Wake which is very important to me but not aged so well as a recording. The Wake Live is much better imo.

	If the Marillion wasn't there I would easily vote for the Kate Bush.

	Some interesting lp's there...but I am a big fan of all the earlier Dead Can Dance albums so Spleen it is.
	One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin

	Wake or Misplaced ? Very hard to decide. I'll go with Marillion

	It's nice to see a poll - other than my own - where I know at least half of the albums in the poll, and as for my vote, It's in the trees, It's coming.....

	A very easy choice for me, Kate Bush’s Hounds of Love. I love that bushy hound.

	Misplaced Childhood. No contest whatsoever.
	I use they/them pronouns (feel free to ask me about this!) Check out my music on my bandcamp!

	Rush. Power Windows is one of my all-time faves. The Jewel and The Wake are awesome, too. Many fine choices in this poll.

	I don't vote for Marillion very often, but this time they deserve it.
	I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution
