OK, you've talked me into it!
Using Psychedelic Paul's system: 1st = 12 points 2nd = 8 points 3rd = 6 points 4th = 4 points 5th = 3 points 6th = 2 points 7th = 1 point Here's where we stand so far: 1. Voyage of the Acolyte = 104 points 2. Spectral Mornings = 59 points 3. Please Don't Touch = 40 points 4. Defector = 25 points 5. Genesis Revisited II = 18 points 6. To Watch the Storms = 16 points 7. Guitar Noir = 14 points * * * 8. Beyond the Shrouded Horizon = 12 points 9. Darktown = 12 points 10. Out of the Tunnel's Mouth = 11 points

1. Voyage Of The Acolyte
2. At The Edge Of Light 3. Surrender Of Silence 4. Beyond The Shrouded Horizon 5. Out Of The Tunnels Mouth 6. To Watch the Storms 7. Sketches Of Satie (with John Hackett) Plenty more I love besides those, he's done some great classical albums and lovely ambient stuff like the more recent Under a Mediterranean Sky.

I admit I started this thread about 9 months ago, and then completely forgot about it! Thank you for reviving it, since everyone seems to be in the mood for "Top 7s". If you would like to handle the scorekeeping, go right ahead with my thanks!

Love to see him in concert again--I saw him at Baja Prog in 2013. Superb even though his vocalist was off-key a time or two.

I forgot to mention: saw him live twice: at NearFest Festival in Trenton NJ and free concert in one of the parks in NYC, with Renaissance as a double bill. Both concerts were amazing.

Voyage of the acolyte
Spectral mornings Please don't touch Darktown Beyond shrouded horizon Guitar noir Tribute hard task indeed, a great part of his discography is made of Genesis revisited material live or in the studios + his own live material However he is still one of my favorite prog guitarist ( saw him playing live a lot of times) and he keeps the flame alive  Edited by mellotronwave - November 18 2022 at 12:15 |
