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

I own seven of those albums (thought it'd be more). Kansas' debut is a monster prog album, so it's kind of unfair to have them there, as that grabs my vote instantaneously.
The firsts by Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, Blue Óyster Cult, Heart, Foreigner and Van Halen are all classics in my book. I enjoy early Leppard, too! I've been a Rush band for forty years, but their eponymous record does nothing for me at this stage. |

Yeah, and I absolutely take no offence to you or others feeling that way about Avant Prog. What is very sad to me is that some people seem to take offence again and again at innocuous comments and sometimes jokes I make. Like one times this throw away lame bit of humour about preferring Parisian croissants to Topeka tarts or something when comparing Kansas to maybe Magma. I Have never even been to Kansas or had a tart from Topeka, but I do love Paris. And it's seems like no matter how much you explain, some people just never accept, understand you, and move on. It does make me feel like if I can't be understood here, with so many years here, and so many posts trying to explain, maybe this is not the place for me. One would at least hope that the expressed appreciation outweighs the discontent. And generally, this is a really nice, warm, and accepting community, and we all (or many of us) have our off days.

^ Your adverse reaction to Arena Rock is not unlike my reaction to anything labelled as Avant Prog, so no offence taken.

Thanks Paul. It wasn't meant to be funny, unless perhaps a little LOL@me. I really like that Heart album a lot, and I like various albums here. It's true when I first saw the topic name, my first thought was "Eww", but then when I looked I realised it was the wrong reaction. This is something I've mentioned before with me, so maybe that's why i did not go into further detail (and helping the wife for her to trip to San Fran -- place she has to go to once a month for her work). Sorry for not being clearer, just did not occur to me that I needed to be, and no offence intended. It's a reminder of how little we know each other and understand each other online which often comes across in our inferences, reactions and expectations. Sadly, when I do try to be funny, that rarely gets a laugh or positive comments. I have no problem with his series, just a problem with myself for being judgmental too quickly, like with the "Eww" reaction. Then upon seeing the actual choices I realised "mea culpa". Arena Rock is just a term I grew biased against. Same with terms like commercial rock, c*ck rock, gangster rap, but I can find music under all of those labels that appeals to me. Labels, schmabels as I sometimes say. I am a pessimist by nature, but I do prefer to adopt an optimistic attitude, including how I react to others. Obviously I fail, and I could be much kinder and more charitable 9and have caused offence many times, sometimes rightly sometimes wrongly). To each his or her own tastes, live and let live.... As for being rude, I can be downright revolting. I rember once getting complaints because someone said they could not get into Tool, and I responded with "One does not get into Tool, you must let tool get into you" with images to demonstrate.

Kansas, followed by Heart and Asia. It wasn't my idea to build a house on Io.

I knew most of those mainstream Arena Rock albums wouldn't appeal to Greg's offbeat tastes, but I don't consider it a rude comment and at least Greg found a couple of bands worth voting for, so it's all good.

I somehow knew most of these albums wouldn't appeal to your eclectic tastes, but at least Heart and The Who are in the poll, which may be some small consolation. Anyway, may vote goes to Boston, although I had More Than a Feeling that Boston were never going to win this first poll (or any other poll). My guess is Rush will win most of these polls, seeing as they're one of the proggiest bands in Arena Rock, although Kansas fans might have something to say about that.

Who is next for for the second album which would come in the second poll of this series, you mean? Well with, for example, The Who, it would be A Quick One methinks, then The Who Sell Out in the third, then Tommy in the fourth, then Who's Next in the fifth, then Quadrophenia in the sixth....

"Eww" is my first impression and expression when I saw this topic TBH. My next expression is that I like Dreamboat Annie and will give it a vote.
