BebieM, You're right, once again I flub something up. "Moon in June" does indeed contain singing by Rob Wyatt. Well, i guess exclude THIRD then. TUBULAR BELLS does contain choral work and such, but that's suitable. Thanks |

My vote goes for Tubular Bells, but deep in my heart, my favourite instrumental album is still LTE 1 ------------- Sun Tsu said: To fight and conquer in your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting. Sun Tsu: The art of War |

Agreed ... wait a minute ------------- "Death to Utopia! Death to faith! Death to love! Death to hope?" thunders the 20th century. "Surrender, you pathetic dreamer.” "No" replies the unhumbled optimist "You are only the present." |

GREAT list Billyshears, Hamburger Concerto, Epilog and Tubular Bells are among my favorites, it's hard to vote for one of the three (even when I decided to go with Epilog). But I believe Six Wives of Hery the VIII deserves to be here, I know Wakeman released a lot of New Age albums but his first 5 or 6 are real masterpieces. Iván |

Inner mounting flamme But Third and Hamburger concerto have vocals, so does Tubular Bells and Snow Goose but those last two are nit-picking one my part. |

would Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennaes To Heaven technically be instrumental? ------------- "O' lady look up in time o' lady look out of love 'n you should have us all O' you should have us fall" "Bill's Corpse" By Captain Beefheart |
