In this poll are 25 artists I've been listening to and am feeling the most of the H's I know right at this moment. Some others I would have liked to include (I expect Jimi Hendrix would get attention, and wanted to go with names I more recently discovered. Heresy not to include Hendrix in the poll, perhaps): H.P. Lovecraft Bruce Haak Hamster Theatre Hansson & Karlsson Hardy, Françoise Jason Havelock Jimi Hendrix Herbe Rouge Herhums Hirasawa, Susumu Hisaishi, Joe His Name Is Alive Hoelderlin Honeydip Honeyelk Hopper, Hugh Horrific Child Dick Hyman & Mary Mayo (sounds like a joke, but it's not) Hypnos 69 I have stretched some of these past 25 but I would rather try to keep at 25. Some others various of you might like to mention for your own favourites: Steve Hackett Halcyon Half Past Four Halloween Hamadryad Jan Hammer Happy the Man Harmonium Harvey Milk Hecenia Herd of Instinct Hidria Spacefolk Steve Hillage Tim Hodgkinson Roger Hodgson Steve Hogarth Joanne Hogg Allan Holdsworth Horslips Steve Howe --------------------- Please vote for three, or more, or less from the poll options (multiple votes enabled). If you like any from the poll, please list one or some, and I am happy for people to mention their favourites that are not in the poll.  I don't think of these as contests, I read and consider all of the posts, and while I do find recognition to be important, to me it is not that important if an option is added to such a poll or instead in posts.Here are the past polls: https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=133382" rel="nofollow - 29 "G" List Acts & https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=133376" rel="nofollow - 26 "F" List Acts & https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=133371" rel="nofollow - 25 "E" List Acts & https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=133361" rel="nofollow - 26 "D" List Acts & https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=133352" rel="nofollow - 25 "C" List Acts & https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=133348" rel="nofollow - 25 "B" List Acts & https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=133346" rel="nofollow - 25 "A" List Acts ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

Now this wasn't easy: Herbie Hancock Peter Hammill Bobby Hutcherson - Henry Cow Eddie Henderson Hatfield and the North Bo Hansson Roy Harper Haikara Heldon Hawkwind Hellebore + Françoise Hardy would have been in the top five.

I started on the letters I, J, and K and I might do those at some time. Of course this being my favourites, I know that I will leave out various of the most popular choices, like IQ with I. And leaving out the most popular choices can lead to confusion. K is very special; guess that's why they call it Special K.

I have now a kind of mixed reaction to the group Hard Stuff; I have grown tired of the debut "Bulletproof", but still really love their second album "Bolex Dementia".....

In classical music conductors, K is also very special....Karajan, Keilberth, Klemperer, Konwitschny, Koussevitzky, Kempe... all world class examples.....

This is the first of your alphabet letters that I've had trouble paring down my selection to three! Homunculus Res and Nina Hagen Band have multiple albums on my list of All-Time Favorites, then it's between Hatfield and Herbie and Henry and Julia and Eddie and Höyry-Kone.

A lot to love here; as Hammill, HW, H&tN, Henry Cow and Herbie Hancock are getting a lot of attention my vote is going for Roy Harper. ------------- |

Voted for Homonculus Res on the basis of the album they released last year which was delightful. Another Headspace fan here noting some of the posts of page 1. I struggle a bit withn the 'H's. I do love Steve Hackett of course but generally not a fan of Hawkwind. Steve Hillage is okay. Haken would be another I like but probably don't 'love'. |

^I struggled with H because I would have wanted to vote for so many of the options. And btw: I thought I had a recollection of you discovering Bo Hansson during some discussion here at PA? Maybe it wasn't you, or maybe the liking hasn't lasted.

A Neo-prog act hailing from Québec taking inspiration from Dutch sources. "Huis" is Dutch for "house". -------------

^ Thanks for sharing in lieu of Cambus. I see it has very positive ratings and reviews at PA. It is accomplished. Music I commonly gravitate towards has been called atmospheric, and that is atmospheric, but like with Neo-Prog commonly, it does not jibe with my personality or interests. There's a lack of personal connection and empathy with the musical expression from me, and it sounds too polished to me in its way, overproduced, and does have qualities that I negatively associate with AOR. The vocals and musicianship are rather off-putting to me. To each their own tastes, of course, but not representative of my interests, and so I would not have included that band in a poll of my favourites (as this topic is). Still, as I said, very happy and pleased to hear about others favourites, and I do appreciate being exposed to music, the kinds of which I would not normally listen. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

H is for Hawkwind, Henry Cow, and PJ Harvey. Mention to Jonas Hellborg who I have brought up multiple times in the Interactive Poll series. ⁰ |

I agree with your comments on Huis. I like Neo Prog a lot and came to to it via IQ The Wake which is absolutely not representative of what you describe. In fact it still remains an album that is most 'personal' to me of anything I've ever come across. Admittedly they have veered towards a more polished sheen approach but Nicholls vocals keep them from being bland in any way. I would say that's now also true of Arena with Damien Wilson on board. Vocals are very important to neo prog.

| Hawklords, Steve Hillage and Huiscare very conspicuouslby their absence |
Posted By: Logan
Date Posted: September 26 2024 at 10:46
I guess someone was going to give me L* for the Hillage omission -- LOL. I mentioned Steve Hillage is the OP. He actually could have been in here as I do like Green, and I might well like Fish Rising more than I used to were I try it again. It has been many years since I last listened to it or any Hillage album. I was actually very disappointed with Fish Rising when I got the album (in 2005, a very fertile year for my ears). I like so much he was involved with, Arzachel is awesome. I adored Khan's Space Shanty and Gong's You and had heard that Fish Rising was both amazing and very much like both of those albums, but Fish Rising just did not meet my expectations. A thing too with my choices is that not only are they based on my favourites -- and I ask people to choose and mention three in the poll if they can and mention their own favourites -- but also it is based on what I am currently more into. If I loved an act five, ten, twenty, or thirty years ago but have not listened since then, then I would be much less likely to want to include it as I would newer discoveries that I am very into currently. I do tend to favour the fresher to my ears. As for Hawklords, I've got Hawkwind, and I would think most who like Hawklords would want to give Hawkwind a shout. I am into Hawkwind for 1971 to 1975 albums. By the way, while between the opening post and the statement I wrote in the Poll Question line I think that I made myself clear, and I would think (or hope) by now you would fairly aware of my tastes, as I am with yours from reading you over the years, I should have made it clearer in the title of the topic that the list was based on what I like and that I wish to encourage people to share what they like. I generally don't want to do polls with the expectation that I include certain things (although I do miss mentioning faves of mine and sometimes people do call me out on that, and I am like a Homerific "Doh!" Here is a track the I have shared as one of my very faves: "Spiral Galaxy 24968" (from Warrior on the Edge of Time). As for Huiscare, I don't even recall the name so I'm surprised that you would think that conspicuous in its absence. Oh, I believe that's a typo and you meant "Huis are". While I do know the name, that's not a big name either, is it?, and I am not a fan of Neo-Prog (that doesn't mean there isn't Neo-Prog that I like or that I wouldn't like). Is it very well known, and one you think would fit my tastes? Please share a track and I will comment on it. Or you just mean conspicuous to you because those are some of your favourites, and that does not mean that you would think I should have added any of those, but i was wondering you asked about not including Galahad in G, so I assume you have not read the opening post. Steve Hillage I knew would be conspicuous in its absence to some. There is a lot I love in the H (not Hogarth) camp, and 25 options for polls are not nearly enough even when it comes to just my favourites. * L is Hillage's second album for any that may not know. And of course I was relating L to hell, as in "Give' em 'ell" EDIT: Now comes the Homer "Doh!". God I am stupid and forgetful these days or years.. I had forgotten that you had responded to this poll last month and I had even responded to your post.
So that's how I know who Huis is. And there you mentioned Hawkwind.  Be great to get some tracks so I can familiarise myself with ones people think missing or that they think I would like. I like that kind of interactivity. I would love to see other people's takes on this with their own lists and polls based on what you like.------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |
