Yeah, I was hoping someone else (with a greater knowledge of Cardiacs) would jump the wagon there, but hey...nobody did. This topic stalls repeatedly, it's not just you Logan. I will not persuade the topic to gain traction just to skip your picks - I will let someone else answer it. 

JFF crowd?? What is that? 

Anyway, as Jared stated, indeed this supposedly is a quick paced game where your picks could get stolen (or picked), so it's up to you to be on the lookout, always. I sense it an obligation to frequent this thread as the OP, obviously. 

FWIW, I'm one of those who will pick Passion Play over Brick any day of the week. Grand Statement: yes indeed, but too repetitive in arrangement and fails to holdup after many listens for me. Sorry

^^ oh, you've got enough Cardiacs fans in here to help you here Greg, although as you know, I'm afraid I'm not one of them.. I was surprised the Vangelis choice was taken up as quickly as it was, for which we have John to thank.

I think you chose correctly with TaaB; it's their masterpiece and after all... there's only so many times the Hare can lose his spectacles, isn't there?

While Cardiacs is quite the Marmite band, it has had its vocal appreciators at this forum. I love those albums and figured some others might be enthusiastic enough about them to want to respond ere very long. From my POV, if anyone wishes to jump in and skip my dynamic duo to answer the Jethro Tull question and then list their own two, I would be fine with that. Maybe some would like to answer mine later when/ if this topic stalls. That's up to the game-master (aka the OP), I guess. Sometimes these topics just don't get momentum when the forum is not busy and it might elicit more of the JFF crowd (and their numbers have diminished). Anyway, some might choose before long, but I just wanted to put this out there. While I would not want to be the one that leads to the death of this topic, worse, I would not wish to see those wondrous albums be the death of this topic.

Do you wish to take the Tull challenge, Cristi, or are you passing the torch?

^ Grand Tour; always thought Folklore is overrated. Then, I'm a sucker for a great live recording packaged as a studio album.

I love both of those Vangelis releases John, I find the quality very even between the two overall, which is why I paired them, but you are right, SF is a beautifully delicate piece of work... quite delightful.

I will let someone else have a go on the BJH, because I've written something for you in the Febus thread... Big smile
