Despite there being 25 artists in the poll, Everybody Knows This is Nowhere near a fair contest, as it's most likely going to be won by either Rush or Neil Young again, although I've been wrong before. Smile

3 stars 1983: Bryan Adams - Cuts Like a Knife 
3 stars 1981: Martha & the Muffins - This is the Ice Age - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_OY-hn34JKAeZVWLrrqR0QMVU8sJgeIQ

Voted 'Caress of Steel' - good but slightly messy album.

Neil Young over Steppenwolf. The latter album though features my absolute favourite rendition of ‘Happy Birthday’

Silent Knight is Saga's finest hour. It's a tour de force of Moog-laden pomp/prog rock. Not a bad tune on there. The songs that bookend the album — "Don't Be Late" and "Careful Where You Step" — are two of the best in their repertoire.

I agree it's their best and  that the opening and closing tracks are two of their best, but I don't think it's a great album.  Still probably my preferred album from this list.  FM's is close to as good but lacks the highs of "Silent Knight".

Chilliwack. My wife and I eat Indian food there on a regular basis. Or at least we did when we could still cross the border.

It's definitely better than Images at Twilight and anything after. "What's It Gonna Be?," "Time to Go" and "Help Me Out" are fantastic.

still plenty of choice (though less than for the first two polls), but I went for Strange Universe (Mahogany Rush), thpugh I could've gone for Webster's Mutiny or Guess Who's Canned Wheat.

L'Heptade, Travers & Triumph were also good choices

BTW, I hope Pat Travers' Go For What You Know is going to be on the fifth album list. Wink

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I only discovered the Canadian town of Chilliwack after discovering the band. Smile
