Gotta remove Facelift and add Wippy Bonstack. This would be more interesting if most choices weren't progasaurs.

3. Tangerine Dream - Ricochet, Part I
5. Picchio dal Pozzo - Il Pinguini

Risen from the deep and dusty archives of Prog Archives....

To repost the rules:

Moogtron III wrote:

Okay, just another musical game for those who aren't bored.

This is the top 10 tracks tournament, a.k.a. the "Will may fave reach the number 1 spot" game.

The rules:

a) Take a look at the most recent top 10 in the thread

b) Identify the track you like the least (or even actively hate )

c) Take it out! It's very therapeutical. Aaaaargh, delete it!!

d) Then think of your own favourite track.

e) If it's not in the list already, put it in the list. But wait, not at the nr. 1 spot, but at the nr. 10 spot!

f) From now on, you lost all control. Will others leave your favourite track in the list alone? Will it rise to the surface, to the nr. 1 spot, in time, or will some lobotomised monkey take it out? The tournament's begun. Have fun!

So, using the list above by T.Rox, I will remove Anacrusis - Quick To Doubt (Demo) (just ckecked it out on youtube) and put in Swans' The Glowing Man (which per the rules goes to the end of the list, so Quasar's rises one place).

1. ELP - Tarkus
2. Gong - The Isle of Everywhere
3. Tangerine Dream - Ricochet, Part I
4. Soft Machine - Facelift
5. Picchio dal Pozzo - Il Pinguini
6. Index - Index II
7. Genesis - The Knife
8. Frank Zappa - Willie the Pimp
9. Quasar - Man Coda
10. Swans - The Glowing Man
