| You are moving to antarctica for 1 year and can only bring 10 albums (disks) with you. Which 10 would you bring? Yes, this is a blatent attempt by a newbie to be exposed to other peoples personnal favorites. Remember these 10 will be the ONLY music you will hear for a year! Go for it and help expose me to some really great music. |

Sleepwalking _ Gerry Rafferty (an album of pure prog, in fact) 7. Unleashed - Wolfstone 8. Grave New World - Strawbs 9. Moontan - Golden Earring 10.

O.K. ! I'll make it even harder. I will choose only one album of any artist (although living Lizard & Larks tounge in aspic will break my heart), no compilations or live albums and first 5 will be albums I could not live without, the next 5 will be of those I fell in love recently and need to hear more.
1. King crimson - Red 2. Genesys - Foxtrot 3. Robert Wyatt - Rock bottom 4. ELP - Trilogy 5. Renaissance - Sheherezade & other stories 6. Van der Graaf generator - Still life 7. Aphrodita's child - 666 8. Matching mole - Little red record (Ivan read the words of "God song") 9. Henry cow - Western culture 10. Gentle giant - Aquiring the taste I had to leave so many out. That's it ! I'm not going !!! ------------- omri |
