^ A difficult and dangerous ascent for sure to the summit of K2 - the world's most challenging mountain - but three intrepid explorers (or PA poll voters) have already planted their flag there, against all the odds.  Smile

^Allan is the most creative and innovative musician ever. He doesn't get the discussion he deserves on PA. So, any thread about Allan makes me happy.

Gazeuse! is the first album by Pierre Moerlen's Gong and the first album by The New Tony Williams Lifetime is Believe It (or not). Smile

But Gazeuse! and Believe it are not the first albums of Gong or Tony Williams, respectively. So, what point are you trying to make? That Allan was a key player in these bands' discography (when he was obviously not) or that these bands existed before and after Allan's contributions? Feels to me as if you're stretching yourself out onto a limb with some of your polls!

UK
Bruford
Gong
K²

Book of the Dead is a really good album with a Gabriel esque singer.

Shout out to Jean-Luc Ponty "Enigmatic Ocean".

If Bundles is on here I'm picking it.
I went with Believe It! but there's five on here I really like.
