The Ultimate PA Album List - Results!!!

I thought their newer album was pretty good, especially with the movie that goes along with it.  It was a little on the short side, but it's definitely worth watching/listening to

No, but their self-titled CD got 2 votes.

nobody else had Division Bell in their top albums at all?  wow, I know its nowhere near Pink Floyd's best (or proggiest), but I thought the guitar work on this album was amazing.

A song list will be near impossible because for the first 50 songs there will be no distinction between them. And the list will be huge. It also will take me forever to make that kind of a list. A genre album top whatever sounds great to me. Start with symphonic please.   And did my list have the biggest number of none prog albums?

^ Thanks I'll give them a try.  I also wanted to comment on Bacamarte not being on our list.  Just speaking for myself, I haven't heard it.  I've tried to find a copy, in vien.  I suspect that may be the case for a lot of us who voted. 

^^ were trying to do one of these lists every year was it? i wouldnt want to overwork Daniel. I think the list will have more participants next time, like yourself. 

So I wanted to share a "snippet" about my favorite album, "The Lamb".  I figure most of you are familar with the music so I won't waste time talking about that.  In 1978 I was at a friend's house and heard for the first time 'Dancing with the Moonlit Knight',  I asked who it was and from that point forward Gabriel has been my favorite artist.  I loved SEBTP right from the start, I think the deck must have been uneven!  'The Lamb' took a lot longer but as is most often the case a little digging offers rewards.  Once hooked I listened to ' The Lamb' every day trying to unearth meaning within its mysteries.  I was 18 at the time so there was the whole girls are so confusing thing that related to "Counting Out Time'  and finally the lose of virginity associated with ' The Lamia'.  But the real kicker was the end of ' In the Rapids' when Rael sees that John is himself.  At its root, this is a story of abandonment which hit home with me because my biological father left my mom while she was pregnant with me.  She gieved while I gestated.  Those of us with abandonment issues then end up abandoning ourselves and so this is also a story of self-realisation and healing.  I've travelled around the world, listened to ' The Lamb' in Bali and sung it to monkeys, in Nepal and sung it to the mountains.  30 years is a lot of history with an album, impossible to convey the emotions that swirl when I hear this music.  I had no friends that were into prog, no internet to hear others opinions while I digested Trespass, Nursry Crime, Foxtrot...    It was my own world. Later I found out that a lot of people don't like disc 2 of the lamb, wow.  while I grant you that The waiting room and Silent Sorrow... are filler, I still love Disc 2 of the lamb.   Plus it has my favorite song, "In the rapids"    I'll also grant you that the ending isn't as good as SEBTP and the magestic close of the Cinema show,   I have to admit that  It  is a bit anitclimatic to me, ... still as a story that makes you work to find 'hidden doors, more appluase'  and the emotion contained in Gabriel's voice, this is his masterpiece.       One more comment on the list and thanks itsy for all your work, I find it amazing that Trespass finished at 161, to me this album is an absolute gem and only a hair behink 'Foxtrot" and SEBTP and that's saying a lot.  Would love to hear from anyone who disagrees or agrees.   Kenmar

I *think* voted for Crossings, Mwandishi and Sextant. It sounds like the sort of thing I'd do.
