 Topic: Best Pendragon album
Posted: July 28 2005 at 05:28 |
If I were to make a list of my 10 all - time favourite bands / artists (sometimes I like to indulge myself in such harmless enjoyable activities) one neo-prog band would always be in such a list, inbetween all those '70's prog-dinosaurs: Pendragon.
They weren't the most complex, original or innovative of bands, but... I really love their style! So, I thought it was time they deserved to have a poll of their own.
Personally, I chose The Jewel as my fave album, but I also like Fly High Fall Far, Kowtow, The Window Of Life and The Masquerade Overture a lot, and even The R(B)est of Pendragon.
Now, what's your attitude towards the Pendrags' albums?

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

A little cheese once in a while is not bad.
Difficult question. Kowtow didn't made my collection. When I heard the first song I relied on the reviews stating it was the most commercial album. The World was my vote, mostly due to the beautiful The Voyage. But Last Man on Earth on Window of Life is a classic as well.
Very nice band for the softer moods. Love the folky voice of Barret.

I like both albums a lot. With The World Nick Barrett seemed to develop sort of a definitive Pendragon sound. For me the highlights of 'later' Pendragon are those two albums, The Window Of Life and The Masquerade Overture.

I'm new to Pendragon so I haven't heard the first 4 in the list. Of the ones I have heard, Masquerade is the best IMO.
