I got the inspiration for this poll from Mira (Mirakaze)'s recent Top Ten List ("Favorite Prog Albums from 1956"). Gotta love some wit and humor! Such a welcome generator of creative, "outside-the-box" ideas!

Feel free to add your own!

A lot of good music/artists in this list. If multiple votes were allowed, I'd vote for Wes Montgomery, Ravi Shankar, John Cage and Sun Ra.

Little Ricky Wakeman - This One Goes to Eleven
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Well met, John! Clap
LOVE, love, LOVE the Fletcher Henderson and Claud Debussy titles! And the Mort Garson piece hits a little too close to home: ain't it the truth how cartoon music influences children! (BTW: a brilliant idea for a discussion thread!)
