The first Random Album Clash for the week of 03.04-10.04.2021 will be devoted to 1996; I can say, looking at these 15 albums, what a good year! Which of these is your favorite? Vote and feel free to tell us. I will pick Pendragon just above Porcupine Tree, Spock's Beard & King Crimson.

THRaKaTTaK, without hesitation. It shows how an old band can still progress in their music! (where many of those modern prog bands make "regressive music", to quote Thijs van Leer). ------------- The razamataz is a pain in the bum |

I think this is the only poll of the three this week in which I was quite certain who the winner could be... Pendragon, of course! Let's see if this will stay like that after a week. |

I'm voting for Richard Wright's second album on the strength of how good his first album is.

It's certainly true that I've rated several albums recently without listening to them all the way through, especially if they happen to be 2-star albums.

Good heavens, Paul... This is ridiculous. What's the fun voting for an album you haven't heard? This is a good example of what we could call "trolling". And please, don't answer this, because every message in this thread so far has given a blow to your own credibility. I will stop participating in your polls, because I think this kind of behaviour should be banned. ------------- The razamataz is a pain in the bum |

I've actually listened to the THRAK album and gave it two stars, so I doubt if THRaKaTTaK is any better.

Paul, there is no issue with voting in polls where you only know a few of the albums, voting for something you've never heard makes you sound like a troll or acting the fool. Rating albums you've only listened to one or two tracks from is wilfully asinine. ------------- Ian Host of the Post-Avant Jazzcore Happy Hour on Progrock.com https://podcasts.progrock.com/post-avant-jazzcore-happy-hour/ |

I should mention that they weren't official PA ratings I gave to albums where I'd only listened to one or two tracks. They were the star ratings I gave to albums on my various prog blogs, which no one takes much notice of anyway.

LOL that's funny. I do admire your honesty though :) I rarely participate unless it's 60s-90s as I feel awkward if I see albums on the list that I don't know. That is particularly true for most Y2K onwards or a genre I don't like. Good to know that voting if you only know one or two of the albums is still OK, but not sure if I could bring myself to do that unless I have actually listened to the majority (50%+). Nick

It heartens me to see so many votes for Thrakattak, although personally, despite being into both KC and much experimental stuff, find it a bit directionless. I prefer Signify and Morningrise and will vote for Opeth - not a fan of death growl but musically this is such a strong album, and sitting at only one vote currently. |

The album of 1996 its Cardiacs - Sign To God, amazing and beautiful album. Followed by Landberk - "Indian Summer", Camel "Harbour of Tears", Anathema "Eternity" and Twin Age "Month Of The Year"
From the list - PT - Signify followed by Neurosis and Opeth |

Pendragon is followed closely by KC... Maybe it's time for the neo-proggers to win! |
