Phideaux narrowly over The Tangent. Beardfish would be my third choice.

I refrained from asking why is it even in the poll, it's one of the most disliked, even hated albums and in this case, unfortunately I agree. 
It's there because I dig it quite a bit. Smile

Me, too! Your inclusion of this rather good Lou Reed album inspired me to do a latter years Lou Reed poll. Unfortunately, while I voted for Lulu in your poll, I voted for Magic and Loss in my own.

That's as good a reason as any, despite what anyone else might think of the album. Smile

Yes, I have seen it referred to as both.

There are three Opeth songs I don't like and they're all from Heritage, which also has some absolute homeruns. Gotta vote visions but under any other circumstance Opeth would get my vote 99% of the time.

Great Opeth album here. Scarcity of Miracles is also good and the Wilson album better than what came later.

I think you just DID ask why it's even in the poll in a roundabout way. Tongue

I think Cristi meant refrained from asking why it is in the poll, until this point. That’s how I read it anyway. I don’t think Cristi would have queried it, if I had not voted for it. But it just goes to show that even if an album is the “most disliked, even hated album”, it doesn’t mean everyone hates it. I love Lulu. Top ten Lou Reed for me, probably.

We all like different things. And what is horrid to some is great to others.

Based on what you like, I would think there is a good chance you might enjoy the Opeth, Wilson and Beardfish albums. You should try one, and see what you think!

I like Steven Wilson's albums with Porcupine Tree, so there's probably a good chance you're right about me liking his solo albums too. Thumbs Up

I think it was Cristi who said I probably wouldn't like Opeth, although there's always 'ope-that I might like them. Smile

there is no escaping you. Ouch
I was referring to the death metal Opeth that is definitely not for you. 
But the prog-rock Opeth, yes, there is a chance you might enjoy it, albums like Damnation, Heritage, Sorceress, Pale Communion and  In Cauda Venenum.
