Jon Anderson is my favorite lyricist though I don't have a clue what he's singing about. (To my mind, vocals are simply another thread contributing melody and rhythm to the overall tapestry of a song.)
Novella is my favorite Renaissance album and my 2nd favorite album, any genre, of all-time. I, so-called 'BrufordFreak,' am not really a fan of drums! (That is, I really enjoy music in which the standard rock drum kit is absent.) (To me, Bill Bruford's drum/percussion playing is like Van Gogh's palette of yellows.) I really like a lot of the music that came out of the 80s! (E.g., David Sylvian, Kate Bush, Cocteau Twins, Everything But The Girl, Aztec Camera, Love and Money, The Fixx, Simply Red, Zang Tum Tum [records], and The Cure. I really love so-called 'minimalist' music! I really love the neo-YES music of Magenta, Moth Vellum and Wobbler. What a fun thread! |

I enjoy ELP's 'Love Beach' !! Also, Chicago 13 & 16 - they are not so appreciated by most.

Oh just remembered, I actually think Pure Reason Revolution's second outing Amor Vincit Omnia is their best record......by far.
I know people prefer the overt Floyd tendencies of the first, but get past the poppy side of the album, and you'll find an incredible modern album that succeeds in mixing pop with electronic and psych. I love it.

Most hardcore Who fans loathe The Who By Numbers but I think it one of their best albums
Many Prog diehards loathe Floyd's Piper at the Gates of Dawn but I think it their best album (by some distance) Many dyed in the wool ELP aficionados loathe Black Moon but I love it Many dyed in the wool ELP aficionados loathe side 2 of Tarkus but I love (most of it) |

The Who By Numbers was my first Who album and I'm still very fond of it. Always considered it one of their best albums. Black Moon is generally a very respected album. Most ELP fans objection to that album stem from Mark Mancina's 'overproduction' and they have a point. Great songs though and would have made a decent swansong if they hadn't gone on and made In The Toilet Seat. Tarkus Side Two is just disjointed and unfocused compared to Side One. ELP fans certainly don't loathe it otherwise they wouldn't be fans , its just that Side One gets a little bit overpraised by comparison.

Ya, The Who By Numbers has some great songs, "Slip Kid", "How Many Friends", "Success Story"... I bought the Welcome Back My Friends... live set before I bought Tarkus so the studio version always feels too slow and tame for me...

agreed. plus the extended live version of Aquatarkus makes the studio version redundant.

The live version of Aquatarkus just wipes the floor with the studio version in terms of excitement and virtuoso playing from all 3. I think it includes some of Greg Lake's finest moments as a bass player. He really holds down the bottom so Emo can Moog-out but also throws in some great scale-based riffs for variety. As for Emo, the multiple Moog sounds/timbres he was able to conjure were revolutionary, and CP creates that great tom-tom driven freight train that keeps the song pounding in high gear. Wish I could've seen it live  |

yeah me too. ELP were never more 'crucial' than when they played Aquatarkus live. I think also that piece introduced me to electronic music and encouraged me to explore Tangerine Dream and the like.

Tangerine Dream - 'Underwater Sunlight' - it sounds horribly '80's', but it's top-notch TD, composition-wise.

I remember when I first heard the live version I thought how in the world was Emo playing all those synthesizer parts at once? Up until that, most synthesizer appearances were as a mono lead solo or deep growling bass. I can see Aquatarkus leading one to Tangerine Dream...if Emo can make all that synthesizer sound, how much could 3 people do

Axe Victim is my favorite Be Bop Deluxe album. It seems to be considered by most to be their worst, just because Bill Nelson was trying to be David Bowie AND Mick Ronson at the same time. He actually pulled it off if you ask me!
I also bought it because of the cover. Oh, different thread... |

Not allbum, but song: My favourite Genesis song is "Waiting Room", which probably is the least favourite for many others. And "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" is my favourite album of them.
With Pink Floyd it is rather the opposite; "The Wall" is my least favourite of their albums, closely followed by "Animals". I don't count anything they published after "The Wall", by the way; for me that stuff has nothing to do with Pink Floyd anymore. They turned "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" into a lapse of reason that lasted for years. |
