I'm wise and now only listen to those six! Wink
Despite liking that Black Sabbath one quite a bit, it doesn't reach me as directly emotionally as the others. And then it becomes really really hard. They're all of this quality that I listen to them and am 100% in it... they don't give me reasons to vote against them really... so what do I do? Well, I suspect myself of some anti-American and pro-continental European bias... so I do the opposite and vote the Americans in this time. Hank Dogs, Kristin Hersh... and I can't get around that Ginger Baker thing, which has the great Jah Wobble on it! Sorry raff and Lorenzo, these are great suggestions and I just love them as much, but a line has to be drawn...

I've narrowed my second and third votes to the following six:
 
FC/Kahuna - "Hayling"
Stringtronics - "Dawn Mist"
Hank Dogs - "18 Dogs"
Ginger Baker - "Mektoub"
Orange Blossom - "Cheft el Khof"
Hidden Orchestra - "Flight"
 
 
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.

  Me too, but I've been preferring CDs.  I truly prefer LPs but for space I just have saved my about 250 rare ones and only play them sparingly (I also have CDs of the same now pretty much, so can save the vinyl).  That collaboration only offered LP or download, so I felt I liked and listened to it enough that I must in good conscience, buy it.  I try to be as supportive of artists as I can be, as I would have done in the past when there was no other option.

  Just for the record, Hank Dogs are English (but I am American)...but glad you enjoyed them.  This was terribly hard, I hard the largest amount of things to give a third listen to decide than ever before, and pretty much only took out the ones I'd heard before, of which there were some real gems, also.

Once again, I would like to thank Lorenzo for first coming up with this great idea, and everyone else who has been contributing regularly. If it wasn't for these polls, I'd have stopped visiting the site altogether. These days, it annoys me quite a bit. The stupidity of some threads is really overwhelming.

FC/Kahuna - "Hayling": Very interesting intro with several pling/plong sounds. A bit triphop-like overall. The voice sounds autotuned to me, but I am sure it is meant as an artistic twist, not because she can't hit the right pitch. Personally I have always found it hard to appreciate the type of track where there is one or two sentences that are repeated over and over again throughout the song. But I do like the track musically.

Ginger Baker - Mektoub: excellent world fusion with stellar musicianship. The whole album is very well worth a listen (and more);
Hidden Orchestra - Flight: authentically progressive music, impossible to label. I was already familiar with the band, but not with this song;
Hank Dogs - 18 Dogs: another lovely folk gem courtesy of Nickie. Right up my alley!

Honourable mentions:

FC/Kahuna - Hayling: oddly infectious and very easy on the ears in its unique way;
Them Crooked Vultures - Elephant: great hard rock with the added value of John Paul Jones (the real genius in Led Zep).

I was already familiar with Kristin Hersch's song (we have the album at home), so I didn't include it in my selections. On the whole, another outstanding edition of our Interactive Poll! Looking forward to the next one.
  So glad you enjoyed the Hank Dogs, Raff!  They were sorely underappreciated in their time.

Orange Blossom - "Cheft el Khof": If I am not mistaken, this is what they call drum'n bass. Acknowledging its qualities, it is not really my taste, sadly. I like the middle eastern sounds though.

The Jelly Jam - "Care": And enter the heavy rock area. With members of Dream Theatre apparently, it seems like some sort of supergroup. My main association is 90's rock music. Not what I listen to the most, but I like the song.

Just one Dream Theater member, bassist John Myung. He's got a nice friendship and collaboration with Ty Tabor and Rod Morgentern, they made 6 albums together (2 Platypus and 4 Jelly Jam).

Ok, here we are.

My podium

1) Confessioni di un malandrino. Well, I am surprised that this song got so much success, because it is quite simple from the harmonic point of view and above all the arrangement, and it would have been very good in the thread on the acoustic songs of the singers / authors, in fact it is based on the lyrics, beautiful, very refined, which finds inspiration, as Raff said, from a poem by Esenin. In any case it is a song that I know by heart, one of the best written by Branduardi despite its simplicity and monotony, proving that when there is inspiration and excellent melody, it takes little to excite.

2) Where did John Brown of the Masters of Reality go? I would have played this song, taken from an album that I know very well, but I see that it has been discarded, and so .... who is it?

Orange Blossom


3) Stringtonics


------ 

Honorable mentions:


4) Alice Cooper


5) Hank Dogs


6) Kogenkunst


7) Kristin Hersch


8) Black Sabbath


Great poll!
