Way to bring in the Knight name. Clever! (Have to admit: I was expecting something Moonlit, if you know what I mean...) P.S. (What about Brian Mc Knight?) ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

The first vote for ROXY MUSIC's best album (IMHO). Romantic Warrior and Argus may be actually better in my opinion too, but Avalon has been personally dearer to me since my early youth.

Hawkwind - Warrior On The Edge Of Time ------------- 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. |

I was going to choose Wishbone Ash's album from the Argos catalogue before I'd even looked at the poll options, but then I saw that Roxy Music's Avalon was in the poll too.

The Hawkwind cover looks great in its original gatefold vinyl form, and it connects to the music itself...unlike the stunning Return to Forever artwork. All worthy choices (even Gladys), but there has to be more albums on this site with a knight on the cover! ------------- "we can change the world without anyone noticing the difference" - Franco Falsini |

I've got more bad news Paul - Argos stopped producing their catalogue a couple of years ago.

Argus, but it's not a knight. It's a Greek warrior (a hoplite, I believe). But Argus is one of the most perfect albums ever recorded. There's not a bad second on it. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

I didn't know that, but what I do know is that Argos was founded by the same man who brought us Green Shield Stamps. I only discovered today that Argos was bought out by Sainsburys in 2016, which wasn't a good move as most Argos stores are due to close by 2024.

Do chess knights count?  Romantic Warrior is my actual favourite, but Warrior On The Edge Of Time has the prettiest cover...
