I'm very picky when it comes to voices. I love some singers to pieces, but by and large I prefer instrumentals to bad or average singing, and consequently I have lots of instrumental music in my collection. Very hard decision. I'll pick something this time that isn't in all likelihood the best bet to win, but for me (having the dark musical side of an Art Zoyd fan) this album was a revelation when I heard it first, and it remains in my top albums until this day... and I'm very curious what you say about it (and be it that you don't get that stuff at all). By the way, some great, great nominations already there, it's going to be supertough this time (at least if I don't exclude what I already know, which I won't).

Micky is at work now, so all our suggestions will be added to the chart later today. In the meantime, here's mine - something quite beautiful I found on Bandcamp when I was searching for World Music. The artist's name is Marla Leigh, and the track title is "Rhythms of Tof Miriam". Edited by Raff - June 18 2020 at 04:35 |

You really want to do two of these things in parallel? For me one at a time is enough, two feels like overdoing it.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

As long as you don't mind a violin in place of a guitar I will suggest Taylor Davis' Nebulous. She does a fantastic job playing movie soundtracks and video game theme songs, but this here is one of her originals.
If you like this song and you're interested in checking her out, here is a link to her YouTube page with a number of similar instrumental songs. |

 of all the suggestions Scott... yours is the one I am most curious to listen to... I'm not familiar with her but over the years we've been kicking this forum together I thought I had got a fix on yours tastes, they mirror mine in a lot of ways. I'l be curious to see who this either confirms it. .. or better.. shatters it   Edited by micky - June 18 2020 at 12:43 |

but who wants to stop doing these to start doing those. Not me.. nor most I suspect. Nah man...I don't think it is.. again.. the results mean nothing.. so time is no issue. Nothing says one can not listen at one's leisure..

simply the best.. and you are evil Doc.. I already couldn't vote for my own.. now you choose my alltime favorite. .from my alltime favorite.. from a group that one f**king idiots retirement from being added here. Pure .. and debatably the best jazz fusion ever anyone ever did. Won't and can't vote it.. but if anyone hasn't heard it.. I'd pity them except for they are in for a better late than never treat.

you ain't kidding..
about 2/3 of the way through a prelisten.. and without a doubt it is going to be the hardest yet.. in all the other polls. a couple standouts.. then the drive to finish out the final 3 but here they all do stand out.. in their own ways. For the variety in this so far (started at bottom and working way up).. off the frikcking charts. From dope smoking saucepan bangin' heaven to paint the town blond bangin' fury.. this one has it all |

This one is going to be tough for sure. It's going to be how my mood synchs up to each song at the time I am listening. I can easily see myself liking one over another one day and then flipping on another day. Whether I am mellow at the time or not.

^ very true..I do tend to wear my moods and emotions quite openly and my how they can turn on a dime. Saucy spicy bad Micky which is my default mode might vote one way but pensive sensitive angel Micky who comes only when I don't him to would vote another way completely.

This is going to be the hardest yet for me. I already had heard half of these, and like the others. That Allman Brothers is one of my all-time favourites (a friend played that to me when I was a teenager and I was blown away). Such a classic. And Alice Copper's School's Out is one of the first albums in my brother's collection that I can remember loving (that, Gary Numan's Replicas and Alan Parsons Project's I Robot were three really important albums to me as a child).
I'd wanted to do an instrumental one too, but if I get the chance, maybe I'll do one that asks for soundtrack music. Yeah, I like that idea. EDIT: I see voting has already started for at least one person -- a bit premature I would have thought. Edited by Logan - June 18 2020 at 15:18 |

yeah.. I suppose someone just couldn't hang with a bevy of buxom bad ass beauties .. someone throw some blue pills at whoever did that. Then again this is a prog forum.. what did one expect...
I'll hold this open till the weekend.. it would probably take many of us that long to settle on 3 anyway.. and see if any fresh meat wants to join in and hit the collective bong.. try my famous mixed drink that was the toast of Ok St. alumni the world around when they visited the bar during football weekends... and just enjoy some good company and better music. we do need a group name for ourselves.. it has been FAR too long since we had a good clique here. The AR Horsemen were the baddest of badass on the wild west forum this once was... who laughed at those that wanted to join us especially if they had never shot a fellow poster down in cold blood before...but perhaps a more genteel group would represent the current site better.

Why not make a deadline and then create the actual poll after all songs/pieces have been submitted?

That would be cool. You could still do a straight up Part Deux and get another 15 diverse and stellar selections. I certainly had several other much different tracks in mind until YouTube said otherwise. |

nah... I learned an important life lesson long ago that translates well to the internet.. rules have a way of killing one's fun in life... so don't make rules yourself.. nor live by others rules. you know.. that here today and gone tomorrow philosophical sh*t that is probably the one thing prog lyricists didn't tackle as they wouldn't have known a line of coke or a smoking hot groupie if one bit them to understand the really important existential questions. anyhow.. really...it isn't the votes that matter.. but in case there are any lurkers out there just working up their courage to join us I don't want them thinking it is too late to join because someone couldn't control their loins man... |

First impressions.....As always, I rule out pretty much, those I am familiar
with from being in the top 3. Contenders
are all in bold, I refrain from considering my choice in the vote.
Anoushka Shankar and Patricia Kopatchinskaja - Raga Piloo ~ Of course I’m familiar with Anoushka, had not heard this before, though. Love the combination of sitar and violin. A contender. Alice Cooper - Grande Finale ~ Knew this one from Alice. Charles
Ives - Piano Sonata #2 ~ Fun following the notes. Loved the “excited” section where the
notation did get visibly kinda crazy.
Tried for the life of me to get the bonus, maybe it will yet come to
me? I know the melody, and know I did
not know it from this. A contender. Kazu Matsui - Legend of the Lake ~ Knew the name of the artist, but hadn’t ever heard anything. Beautiful and calming, gonna be hard to compete with the plethora of violins this time, though. A contender. Tokyo Groove Jyoshi - What is Hip? ~ Knew the song, of course, fun to see it played this way and they were very energetic about it. More of a novelty feeling for me, though, even though they were quite good. Ludovico
Einaudi - In un'altra vita (In Another Life) Almost chose another by him that I just love. This is also so perfectly him. A contender Kaleidoscope
– Taxim ~ My entry Janko
Nilovic - Underground Session ~ Enjoyed this one, very different from what I
usually listen to, but loved the horns. Era
- Tono ~ Also beautiful and moving. So hard to not love violin. So I’m not even gonna try. A contender Allman
Brothers Band - In Memory of Elizabeth Reed ~ Great tune, but of course I know it. George
Benson - 6 to 4 Also too familiar with
this one to vote on it. Peace
& Quiet - Looney Tunes ~ Some pretty good jamming there, but just not top 3
for me. Bryan Beller - Casual Lie Day ~ Obviously accomplished, but this one didn’t get me. Scorn - Forever Turning ~ This works better for me than the in-your-face Gudmundsen-Holmgreen piece, but still just doesn’t get my gut. Marla
Leigh - Rhythms of Tof Miriam ~ Even
though I also chose a Middle Eastern piece and am familiar with the genre,
found myself humming the tune all morning and then going and buying the
release. Unless something else comes
out, this is probably gonna be my #1 choice, although that may be predictable,
coming from me. Obviously a contender. Philip
Glass - Powaqqatsi - CAUGHT! ~ Another Philip Glass piece is something I’m
contemplating for another potential poll.
Very different from this, this was kinda busier and brassier than others
that I like from him. Taylor
Davis - Nebulous 0 ~
Wonderful, I love violin (all of the bowed instruments). A contender Pelle
Gudmundsen-Holmgreen - Plateaux pour deux
~ Didn’t work for me at all. I do
like some experimental stuff, but it was too ducky for me. Edited by Snicolette - June 18 2020 at 16:41 |
