[QUOTE=Logan] This is the third poll that I have done covering albums included in the discographies of Prog Archives band/artist listings where I list one release per five year period (one for 1960 to 1965, one for 1965 to 1970 etc.) I also have now done four polls with the same concept for releases not included in Prog Archives database.

Multiple votes allowed, please vote for up to three (or more if such limitations are too restrictive for you). And please vote no more than once per album. Additionally, feel free to vote even if you have very limited knowledge. Comments on the selections are appreciated even if not on the positive side, and feel free to mention your own favourites off any of the albums, and I hope some will come up with their own lists and polls. I don;t only like to share that which I like, I like to check out what others like.

While one may vote with very limited knowledge, for those that may wish to acquaint themselves with the tracks they don't know (or remember, or know well), here is a youtube playlist with the choices.

I'll go with the crowd for the first two (Miles Davis and Frank Zappa) and my third vote goes to Ciśnienie.

Side note. I placed the tracks from this poll and Part 2 that were available, which was most all but 3, into an Amazon playlist. I have the autoplay feature on so Amazon plays tracks based on the playlist. and the tracks that followed seemed to reflect the playlist well. Here are the first 5 autoplays.

Can - Pinch
Beak> - We Can Go
Laurie Anderson - O Superman (For Massenet)
This Mortal Coil - Sixteen Days / Gathering Dust
Kate Bush - The Sensual World

^ Interesting, and by the the way, your three choices could easily have been mine from the greater list of my choices.

Can's Pinch is great and from my favourite Can album, Ege Bamyası. Laurie Anderson's "O Superman" has been one of my favourite songs since I was maybe 12 and saw the music video. When I went to Australia when I was 19, my brother played Luurie Anderson's Big Science (from which O Superman is off) and it remains one of my favourite albums. I also first fell for Kate Bush due to seeing music videos as a tween, and my brother in Australia was very big on here and that's when I really got into her. I had already bought several of her CDs and found The Sensual World in the bargain cassette bin, which I bought. I especially love "The Fog" and "Rocket's Tail" off it, but really like the title track too. Listening to that This Mortal Coil track now, and yeah, that is so the kind of music I have been very, very into. And I just listened and really like that Beak> track.

I'll have to try that with Amazon.

1. Shibusashirazu - a new acquaintance to me and absolutely superb. Was I really the first to vote for them?

2. Zappa - classic

3. Kosmischer Läufer - I was prepared to hate this but it turned out quite the opposite.

Zappa
Talk Talk

Big Ship and After the Flood belong to the very rare class of favourite songs of all time. If I remember correctly, years ago we were asked to list the best prog tracks, and these two ended up on ranks 3 and 5 of my list; I wouldn't rate them lower now. There is no shortage of candidates for the third vote here either. I go for Cisnienie, love that album.
