Squintaloo - Über Bord
Unfortunately the band did not get added to PA until a year after this album came out so didn't get any AOTY love. But this is easily my favorite album of 2017.

^ My condolences as well, really sorry for your loss. Only two weeks ago my mother had to be taken to the hospital, now she is back home with an oxygen pack. Nobody is getting younger, unfortunately ...

Regarding the dystopia, well, it seems like the less we (publicly) talk about politics, the faster our dear leaders behind the scenes can advance their agendas. Not saying that this forum is the best place to discuss these topics, but there seem to be fewer and fewer places overall.

^ Thanks. Ooh that dark and musky scent of the Elon dystopia (even dressing like a blackshirt). I know we are asked not to talk politics (never a policy I wanted, just seemed needed), but well, wow, just wow.

^ Sounds like you've been going through quite a rough patch, Greg! So sorry! I fear that expanded realization of our new Muskian Darktopia will only accelerate the tough times for many of us. We'll always have music (just as the nations under Soviet rule in the Cold War had jazz and jazz-rock fusion), but it may come to feel a bit hollow as the "good times" we've been so spoiled with come to an end.

^ I appreciate that Mira. Thank you. Has been very hard on my wife but she seems to be coping well now. He was the brother of hers that she did not always get along well with but I enjoyed the company of the most as we shared such similar views on the world, politics, philosophy... Having been ill, but slowly improving (got hit with multiple COVIDs and Flus and my lungs and ability to think are paying the price) I did not attend much of the virtual service (could not travel to Asia for it), but it seemed a beautiful and very large gathering of people. We will travel there before too long, once my wife can get away from work and son is settled in university (he will be doing computer engineering, and has a passion for composing music which is awesome).

Hers is my favourite album in the poll but for some reason she has no votes... I must have overlooked her when voting somehow.

I also overlooked the part in your opening post where you talked about your personal loss, for which you have my sincerest condolences and sympathies

Wasn't that the year of Believe's Seven Widows? I'm giving them my vote!
I was not really a fan of Mike Oldfield's Return to Ommadawn. Maybe I need to listen to it again, but... It felt like an unnecessary piece, paling before the original.

Mike Oldfield
Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson
