Bruford's Bundle: 7th Album - Progressive Rock Music Forum

An all-inclusive series of polls with an asterisk marking albums NOT featuring Bill Bruford. Just three artists remaining now, but with three more polls still to go after this one. Yes, that's all the Drama I'll need. Wink

2002: Bill Bruford's Earthworks - Footloose and Fancy Free - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_TaS3ukydpIHpA9eeID9JkbVASKl9SLN

1974: King Crimson - Red - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXhfRoiJBIislZ9MHBBNYK0h3N30Gv7Ja

1974: Yes - Relayer* - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mB2Z4c14a1jFhhTFB2IlKyhfpizRSXkKI

for me, Yes would sneak it although I think Red is also stunning...

but I really can't bring myself to vote for an album Bruford didn't perform on... in a Bruford Poll?

so I'll leave it there.

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

Red

Anyway, I will happily vote for Red. It's a great album and of course it has Bruford. I like Relayer, but surely Red means much more to me.

I understand that.... I grew up with Relayer and have always loved tGoD to bits... but if I'm honest, Red is probably more likely to get a spin these days?

^ I'm thankful that I so rarely listen through one and two stars for my tastes releases. After this, I'm out of the series. King Crimson and Yes share something in common for me, well, more than one thing, it's the 1969 to 1974 period that matters the most to me (with King Crimson being more consistently strong and mature throughout the period).

^^ Unlike King Crimson, I grew up with Yes (well, at least as a teenager), but in my early 30s being recommended In the Court of the Crimson King at a sci-fi forum has been more important to my journey this millennium. And KC became the more significant to me band as I discovered that and its other albums as an adult. I will always have a very soft spot for Fragile, I do think that Relayer is an excellent album and Yes still remains significant and relevant to me. Red tro me is really awesome, though. About twenty years ago I played it to the friend who introduced me to Yes when we were kids, and he just said that it sounds like Yes. What's next, "Prince Rupert Awakes" sounds like Meshuggah? Just being silly there with the Meshuggah comment.

Voted RelayeRED

Yes, it's most likely the only poll where I've ever voted for Relayer, although it wasn't a hard choice, if I'm honest. Tongue

How did I miss voting for 'Red'?
