I vote for the wonderful Joanna Newsom's Have One on Me as one might anticipate. And the title track is sublime. Love it.

While it's not one I have listened to much in many years, I am still sweet on Genesis's The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. . Often told this story, but hearing Genesis' The Lamb.. playing at the closing party of a play led to a search for music that led to me scouring the internet for music (specifically searching for "Hairless Heart") that one might blame for me eventually washing up on the shores of Prog Archives. I actually found it by going through many amazon samples of music as I recall.

I also have liked Major Parkinson's self-titled and Midnight Oil's 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 very much.

And while I did not vote for it, I have and adore the CD boxset of the von Karajan Beethoven Symphonies and that has had the most play of any of these, especially for the 9th and the 7th Symphonies. I was raised on classical music with my parents, we commonly would have classical music playing in the house, including members of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra who were friends with my parents playing at parties (my parents, unlike me, were big entertainers). My dad disapproved of rock music and pop commonly. My eldest brother rebelled by playing things like AC/DC very loud and placing hashpipes around the property like an Easter egg hunt for my dad to search, locate and destroy. Such a naughty boy, I was the obedient and boring kid in the family. LOL. I had a good dad, but very old-school, had been an officer and strict. I love soundtracks and I will say that it was because of films that the 9th and 7th became such favourites. I'm talking Clockwork Orange and ZardoZ.

EDIT: Shared this track various times, but I want to again...



I love it so very much. The whole album is wonderful; makes my heart sing.

Karajan is quite the box set. I typically go with the 9th and 3rd "Eroica" Symphonies when asked what are my favorites from Beethoven.

I'm giving a vote to Karajan's Beethoven, but hopefully it's his set from the early 60's when he was in his prime?
