Once again I have collected the albums included in PA from the Rate Your Music top all-time and all-genres albums chart as they came up, so this is not my personal list. The numbers show the chart listing at RYM. Swans - Children of God (913) The Mothers of Invention - Freak Out (941) Santana - Santana (1121) Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band - Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller) (1125) Gorguts - Colored Sands (1132) King Crimson - Live in Chicago (1149) Harmonium - Les cinq saisons (1154) Coil - Black Antlers (1155) Triana - El patio (1156) Moonsorrow - V: Hävitetty (1159) Vektor - Terminal Redux (1166) Neurosis - A Sun That Never Sets (1173) maudlin of the Well - Leaving Your Body Map (1174) Brain Eno - Ambient 1: Music for Airports (1178) The Residents - Not Available (1181) T2 - It'll All Work Out in Boomland (1184) Steely Dan - Countdown to Ecstasy (1194) NEU! - NEU! (1199) Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet (1205) Rush - Different Stages / Live (1214) Kraftwerk - Minimum-Maximum (1223) Fairport Convention - Unhalfbrickling (1225) (in Prog Related but opted to include it) Sparks - Kimono My House (1230) Coil - ...And the Ambulance Died in His Arms (1248) Björk - Debut (1252) ---------------------------------------------- For this poll my top four are: Swans - Children of God The Residents - Not Available NEU! - NEU! and T2 – It'll All Work Out In Boomland. It pains me not to vote for that The Residents album, but Children of God is my most returned to album of what has been my most listened to band in PA this year. And while Swans is represented in the next poll (quite a popular band at RYM and at Reddit it seems), this is likely to be my last vote for Swans for the rest of this series. No, in the next poll, spoilers, Anna von Hausswolff's fantastic Dead Magic will get my vote (love that album, love Anna von H.). I also like the maudlin...'s Leaving..., The Mothers... Freak Out, Santana and Björk's debut very much. And The Fairport Convention I like, but is not a favourite -- a little too folk-rock-and-roll, mainstreamy folk and conventional to my ears. I prefer the psychedelic folk ones. I also have liked the Harmonium and Triana but have not heard those in many years. |

T2, The Residents and Harmonium stand out for me. Man such different sounding records but I'm going with the heavier one T2. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

This was an extremely tough call between Vektor, Steely Dan, and Porcupine Tree, but I had to go with Vektor. Terminal Redux, despite how recently it came out, has already become one of my favorite metal albums of all time, as well as one of my favorite modern prog records. The concept, the technicality, the cathartic climaxes, the incredible songcraft... amazing stuff ------------- Take me down, to the underground Won't you take me down, to the underground Why oh why, there is no light And if I can't sleep, can you hold my life https://www.youtube.com/@CocoonMasterBrendan-wh3sd |

PT ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson |
