Going for the One.....It's a mystery to me why people rate it as highly as they do....it's as thick as congealed bacon grease.....thick with, at times, divergent sounds. Over ripe Yes...but still Yes and still listenable, just not up to their earlier work. I think I might even like parts of Tormato better than GftO.....more expansive, easier to dig the performances.
ELP.....Their first is my fave.....a rock record with classical leanings and even a little jazzy and avant at times. Their easiest to swallow.
Stand Up.....Oh, yeah! Again, a fave of mine.....their bluesy sound had not yet been lost and they started veering off into folky and progressive tangents. Love the pre-'lung Tull.
Selling England.....I hope you appreciate the Collins sound on the album. I think the drumming on the album is some of the best on any rock record I've heard. Maybe not technically flashy or out front, but his fills really carry the tunes and accentuate the drama of the album. 10/10
Aquiring the Taste.....The first three Giant LPs are often overlooked by fans in favor of Octopus/Glass House. The first three LPs are where they purveyed the sound of the band.....what followed was groovy enough, but was really just layers of paint on an old house.
One of a Kind.....Best Bruford LP.....just wished he'd thought again about the vocals.
Nude.....Blah.

I really like the National Health album - had it a few years back and
lost it - you know, you've made me want to go & get another copy!
Like Bruford but personally prefer his first, "Feels Good to Me".
