11: Albums from the RYM chart that are also in PA

This is the latest poll in the curated/ collected from the Rate Your Music all-time and all-genres chart that is included in PA series.

This has a considerable number of very strong entries, I think. This is Gentle Giant's first appearance, and that is a strong album, and then GG quickly started re-appearing in the chart (In the next poll is my fave GG). It features what has been my favourite Miles Davis album with Big Fun. Camel's A Live Record is I think fantastic. That Tim Buckley album makes me happy, and sad. There is the Moody Blues and another Mahavishnu Orchestra which I know is highly respected by many. Not many will know it, but I really like that Ground-Zero album. And John Zorn's Naked City has been a favourite of mine. And of course the re-appearance of Magma with what was a game-changing revival for the band (I prefer the next album, though). The Sigur Ros album became a classic. And what about my beloved Swans, I actually haven't heard that live album (wanted to, but it was very limited edition and it is not available in my region without a proxy). And another strong Mothers album. I like the La Máquina de Hacer Pájaros album. And then we have heavy-hitters at PA like Rush, Supertramp and Porcupine Tree. And the Mark Hollis album that not everybody is Talk Talking about, but some are. There's a very highly regard black midi album, which was one of my top albums of that year. And then there's Anna von Hausswolff....

For me ultimately it is between the Miles Davis and Anna von Hausswolff, and while the Davis is big fun, the Anna von H is dead magic, and I take the magic. That has the advantage of being a much newer obsession to me, and I do often favour that which is newer to me. I have been playing lot of von Hausswolff of late and I have come to adore that album.

Rush, Giant, Zappa, MO, all superb. But my vote will go to Todd, an album I overplayed in my youth. How each track segues into each other shows what a brilliant engineer/producer Todd was.

Manu good albums here. I voted for the Moody Blues.

GG

Many great albums but Miles Davis Big Fun - no contest really.
