This is part two with 25 different tracks and 25 different acts. This is the original poll: https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=133973" rel="nofollow - https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=133973 While covering my usual suspects generally. I thought it might be interesting to see which of these tracks that are known are most disliked at this forum. To vote you need not know the majority of tracks, you only need to have heard and dislike one track/piece in the list, or just like one less than the others you know. I have made a playlist (see below) in case anyone opts to check out any of the music and to remind oneself if applicable. If some were to go through it, choosing least liked might be hard due to all the stiff competition for that spot. And please mention what you like as well if any, and if voting, I do hugely appreciate a comment to go with it. I always like to put a name to the vote as that creates more of sense of empathy with the community (even if we react very differently to the music emotionally and would critique it very differently). I definitely have seen some very negative comments about some of these tracks and acts in my time at PA. To each their own tastes, of course. None of my offline friends shared quite the same tastes that I do but that did not get in the way of me appreciating them, and hopefully vice versa. I usually can find interests in common with people but I always have been interested in getting a few for what connects with individuals and what does not, and I'm interested in hearing about those experiences. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

Not so keen on that Cluster track. Once more there are so many fantastic tracks here that I don't even start to list them. After the Flood appears on my personal top 10 songs of all time list and some 10 of these tracks are close.

Thanks for the responses.
That Cluster track was a last minute change. I had Naked City's Sunset Surfer in the poll, which I love, but then Cluster came to mine and so I took that out and added Cluster's "Hollywood" which may be the first Cluster track I go into and Zuckerzeit was my first album by Cluster (first heard it about 20 years ago ago). Much more recently I go into the album Sowiesoso. I actually felt very unsure about my selection at the time, but that is track that connected with me quite recently. Mind you, this is one poll which works best if people don't really care much for everything. 
I had originally thought about going with The Herald which I feel shares some qualities with Sea Song being quite melancholic. "Winter Is A Coloured Bird" also shares some qualities but is quite dynamic (and I love it). Often I choose "Little Red Robin Hood Hit the Road" off Rock Bottom (now that is dynamic and I find such a joy), but I did figure "Sea Song" would be more likely to get some reaction and it was the first Wyatt song I connected with. Rock Bottom is such a treasure to me, whimsical and poignant, tragic yet life-affirming, but I understand that it would not be to many tastes on the whole. And I could compare it to Blackstar (the album) in that way which I know you also don't like (could be depressing, maybe as I have depression, but like to try to keep a positive outlook, and a kind of existential angst, I like to hear music that speaks to me on a certain level that I identify with). It appeals to my kind of sensitivity. --------------------------------------- By the the way, these do take quite some time to put together, but it's all worth it if I can connect with a few people and get to "feel" a little bit how others feel. It amazes how how direct music can be to the emotions and of course for all of us here it is deeply, profoundly meaningful. Its not just entertainment, but part of our being, and lots of us have that desire to connect with others who are equally passionate. Aside from enjoying reading the responses, chatting and hopefully connecting with people, it is interesting to see who these topics connect with or find interesting enough to want to comment. Sometimes responding and voting in poll does become more like a routine, just something to do, and not because one really cares, of course. I figured some might complain about how I framed this, but I am interested in trying to get to know better what individuals in your community like and don't like. And I really appreciate those who make the effort to try to support each others topics and explore each other's interests even if they are different from our own. It kind of does show you how your friends are, the ones you can rely on, since friends tend to lend support to friends. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

Too much good stuff. Well, I never got into Talk Talk, so I guess that's my vote. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

There were more songs on this list that I don't know very well (or at all) but I know I've never ever found anything by Cluster that I've enjoyed, so he gets my vote. Once again, the songs I know here I love; we definitely have similar tastes, Greg! ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

Thanks. Not saying it ever should for you, of course... Took me ages to really appreciate Talk Talk more than for a few tracks, for the music to click, but now I like various Talk Talk albums very much. I can be slow on the uptake when it comes to things I will eventually really like. Sometimes I just have to get into the right gateway music first. "After the Flood" I didn't altogether like at first, but I sill appreciated the music (one can have an appreciation for music one does not like). Now I find it great (as in a very and interesting good song/composition and I really enjoy it).
We definitely have a lot of overlap in terms of interests, Drew. That Cluster album was not something I had paid attention to until recently, but it just fit my mood well. "Sowiesoso" would be the track here, as well as the album it's off, that I have heard the least times. What I love at any given time can depend on my mood, what other music I am most into at the time.... I would have thought that would be the same for almost all of us, but in my time talking music with many others here that does not seem to the experience of many others.
Oh how people react so differently to music. "A Louse Is Not a Home" is to me one of the greatest tracks of Progressive Rock and Art Rock. A masterpiece and up there with the very best of VdGG (of course some loathe VdGG, especially for Hammill's vocals.) ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |
