Frank Bornemann's heavy German accent is certainly annoying, but fortunately that's the only annoying thing about Eloy

His accent has never bothered me...takes a lot more than that to annoy me. |

it is annoying to me because I worked so hard to get rid of my American accent when speaking German. I almost got rid of it completely. but now my American relatives claim I have acquired a German accent when speaking English

I'll try to stick with more "well-known" acts. Some of these might be debatable as "unconventional," but they are generally not ranked as high as other albums in their respective discographies.
David Bowie -- Scary Monsters Scott Walker -- Bish Bosch Vangelis -- Albedo 0.39 Triumvirat -- Old Loves Die Hard The Tangent -- Not as Good as the Book Talking Heads -- Fear of Music Spock's Beard -- The Kindness of Strangers Saga -- Generation 13 Porcupine Tree -- Up the Downstair Pink Floyd -- Ummagumma Le Orme -- Elementi The Moody Blues -- On the Threshold of a Dream Magenta -- Revolutions Little Atlas -- Surface Serene Led Zeppelin -- Presence IZZ -- Everlasting Instant Steve Howe -- Turbulence Hawkwind -- Levitation Glass Hammer -- Shadowlands David Gilmour -- About Face The Flower Kings -- Flower Power Fish -- Yin Eloy -- Chronicles I Electric Light Orchestra -- On the Third Day Dream Theater -- Systematic Chaos Citizen Cain -- Raising the Stones Atoll -- Tertio Arena -- Pride |

Same here. In the 90s, it was all about Images & Words and Awake, but now I prefer the more focused sound of WDaDU. Best vocals on a DT album, too (sorry, fans of James).

I definitely agree on Islands. For me this is the clear winner for unconventional pick from KC.

I'll actually say it, Drama is my favorite from Yes. Also: Rush - Signals Spock's Beard - either of the Ted Leonard records Led Zeppelin - In Through the Out Door above, progaardvark listed Saga's Generation 13.
I want this to be a favorite, but I just can't. I like the concept, and
love the instrumentals, but find the vocals incredibly grating.
