Dear Reader, part 2 of the 1975 poll (from July onwards). I know many will cry that their favourites are missed out but I expect the Floyd to dominate anyway. Incidentally, that summer I saw my first proper bands at an outdoors gig. One of them was definitely prog and I recall seeing a Mellotron on stage. Their name was Limelight and a few years later they had 'reinvented' themselves as a NWOBHM outfit!

for me, there are 6 here which I could easily choose.. I'm going to miss PF out and go for a favourite which may not pick up many votes...

Much as I like Godbluff (and Gilgamesh , Wish You Were Here and others), to me it was between the “lives” by Tangerine Dream and Magma, I went with the one that had no votes, Magma’s Live.

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 |

Hi,
Here's a list for you ... these are the artists that Space Pirate Radio played in 1975, from the shows I had recorded and survived since then. The regular day shows were still "foreign" but mostly anything else ... still not as much American stuff. If you try to choose a favorite in these, you're truly insane and you have not heard a lot of stuff to compare ... in the end, it's impossible! Regular Space Pirate Shows (sunday nights/monday morning): (NOTE: Guy has a copy of all the shows I was able to save recorded in high quality mp3 from the really good FM signal the station had) Edgar Froese Amon Duul 2 White Noise Second Hand Peter Hammill Faust Guy Guden's Nothing is Sacred outtakes Kraftwerk Le Orme Peter Cook and Dudley Moore Can Tangerine Dream Flash Gordon Radio Show Hawkwind Brian Eno Can Tasavallan Presidenti Shandu The Magician Radio Show Brainticket Walter Wegmuller Harry Nilsson Paul McCartney Hubert Laws Ash Ra Tempel Ange Gilles Zeitschiff Henry Mancini Steve Hillage Cosmic Couriers (one side became the show theme for a long time) Vivian Stanshall Banco Del Muttuo Soccorso Vangelis 4 Karat Gold (All Bums - Lothar Meid) Khan Darryl Way's Wolf Aqua Fragile Ron Geesin/Roger Waters Kayak Ramases Grobbschnitt The Long Hello Aphrodite's Child Eizelgeiger Neu Reale Academie de Musica Popol Vuh Van der Graaf Generator Magma Wigwan Nektar ... and on the regular night shows: Gentle Giant Pink Floozy Renaissance Roy Wood Mike Oldfield Sally Oldfield Genesis Roxy Music Phil Manzanera The Doors Iron Butterfly Jethro Tull Yes Flash Family Streetwalkers Manfred Mann's Earth Band Incredible String Band Robin Williamson Mike Heron Fairport Convention Steeleye Span Horslips Kevin Ayers Roy Harper Third Ear Band Babe Ruth Bonzo Dog Band Edgar Broughton Band Caravan National Health Camel Byzantium Capability Brown Man Help Yourself Neutrons ... and hundreds more I can not even remember!!!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
