I got the inspiration for this poll from Mira (Mirakaze)'s recent Top Ten List ("Favorite Prog Albums from 1956"). Gotta love some wit and humor! Such a welcome generator of creative, "outside-the-box" ideas!

Feel free to add your own!

A lot of good music/artists in this list. If multiple votes were allowed, I'd vote for Wes Montgomery, Ravi Shankar, John Cage and Sun Ra.

Sun Ra and His Orchestra's Remembering the Future is an all time favorite:)

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Well met, John! Clap
LOVE, love, LOVE the Fletcher Henderson and Claud Debussy titles! And the Mort Garson piece hits a little too close to home: ain't it the truth how cartoon music influences children! (BTW: a brilliant idea for a discussion thread!)
