Axe Victim is my favorite Be Bop Deluxe album. It seems to be considered by most to be their worst, just because Bill Nelson was trying to be David Bowie AND Mick Ronson at the same time. He actually pulled it off if you ask me!
I also bought it because of the cover.
Oh, different thread...

^ this
He wasn't just trying to be Bowie & Ronson, he became Bill Nelson

Okay I do not like Kansas at all and I will never listen to anything by ELP other than their debut. I don't like Rennasaince, heck I can't even spell it. Not into Folk bands except for the rare exceptions. I don't like Kind Of Blue or really anything that is traditional Jazz. I can't get into Rick Wakeman's solo stuff at all, or Peter Gabriel's either although I do like some of his songs.

Well... I love Final Cut but it's not really my favorite so maybe that doesn't count. Topographic Oceans being my favorite album of all time might cause some shock, but not on a prog site :D
"From Genesis to Revelation" is better than everything they recorded after Peter Gabriel left combined. My favorite King Crimson album is "Islands", only slightly above "Lizard" (I didn't know this was considered strange to be honest... apart from the obvious strangeness that comes with being a KC fan to begin with). I am a fan of symphonic prog but I'm bored by 99% of classical music (just to illustrate, my favorite classical music piece is Jon Lord's "Concerto for Group and Orchestra"). My favorite Rush song is "Fountain of Lamneth" (is that strange? I don't think so, just wrote it in case). I love Rick Wakeman's "King Arthur" album but I consider ELP to be way too show-offy (oh the irony, I know :)
That's all I can think of for the moment...

The list is too long. To summarize, all the things that I don't like sound to me like the Rocky soundtrack song "The eye of the tiger".

^ I can't stand the Annie Haslam lineups of Renaissance but really like their 1969 debut album with Jane Relf.

Count me in as well. Never been a fan of Haslam's vocals either. If we're going down that road, I'd much rather listen to Lisa Gerard.

Lisa Gerard is great. Not only an amazing vocalist but she creates her own language as well

I think most people know her voice - they'd just never imagine it coming from a white Aussie chick  I mean, how many here have heard the soundtrack to Black Hawk Down and thought it was some Arabian woman wailing during the woeful scenes? Ok maybe most round this board know of her, but each time I've seen that movie with people unaware of Lisa - they just couldn't believe it, when I told them. Just like I originally thought it was a huge black woman doing the singing on The Great Gig In The Sky |

The opening song on the "Toward the Within" video is certainly the best Chinese Dulcimer playing I've ever seen |

Yup. Labor of Love is another fine example. She hammers the sh*t out of that thing. :) lol

Tubular Bells is my 12th or so favourite Mike Oldfield album (some albums I rank well over it are TB II&III, Platinum, Five Miles Out and Guitars)
My favourite Jean Michel Jarre album is Oxygene 7-13, which I absolutely love.
Perelandra is one of my favourites from Glass Hammer.
|
I agree on Mike Oldfield although I think his run of albums from Tubular Bells to Discovery is fantastic and then after that there are still gems like Songs Of Distant Earth and Amarok. So putting TB at number 12 in a Mike Oldfield list is no disgrace 
JM Jarre - wouldn't be able to go with that although I do like that album
I'm a big GH fan but my collection only starts from Chronometree . I'm going to have to hunt down that album. BTW I rated Three Cheers For The Broken Hearted as a 5 star album (although GH have several imo)
|
Yeah, no disgrace to TB was intended  I just don't think it's such a full-blown masterpiece many people regard it as. Ommadawn, Amarok and TSoDE etc. are in a whole different level to it. And yeah, you need to get Perelandra, there are some great tracks there. Time Marches On is maybe my fav GH song.
|
yep I now have Time Marches On ...would you believe on 3 seperate CD's ,all acquired in the last week or so
Perelandra The Compilations Live and Revived
(the last two might be the same version)
agreed its an absolutely brilliant track.. killer hook,love it
