If I like only two, I'll only vote for two, why not? Cristi mentioned only two, TheH only one, and you never know who else may have voted for one or two. By the way, as far as I understand the forum, there' no stopping anyone even from voting four times or even many times for the same, which seems a much bigger problem to me, because an outsider can swamp the poll. But I don't think there's any protection from that?

^ No, nominations are closed for this round, various of us have already voted for our three choices. But I expect another round to come later (soon I hope).
Incidentally, this way is fun, but, I wonder if it might work better to have write-in votes only in the future. You'd create a master list in the first post with videos taken from the submissions. That way we can see that people are voting for three choices, and since there seemingly will be the expectation that in the future "polls" people should not vote for their own choices, this might help to ensure that the proper guidelines are being followed. I'm not worried about abuse really, but people make mistakes when voting. It doesn't work well if people aren't listening to all of the choices, and it's nice to see people's thoughts on their choices. Right now there are 31 votes, which doesn't tally with the three votes per person expectation. Of course one might only really like one or two choices, but then the other vote[s] should be for the lesser of the other evils, so to speak. Edited by Logan - May 21 2020 at 14:07 |

I listen to and mention Robert Wyatt very frequently. Amdittedly he doesn;t get much attention at PA for his "solo" work outside of Rock Bottom. I love lots of his albums. I also like the "not in PA" restriction. Was thinking about mentioning that you, Pedro, might like to do that when I saw your post.

Errr... yesterday?  The thing is that if you say outside PA's top 100, there's still lots of stuff that is well known to 95% here and appreciated by 60%. No, I like the "not on PA" restriction, by and large. It's clear and precise and stops us from posting stuff that we can be sure 90% know and 60% like. Fine by me. Although I could imagine "special editions" like "Stuff that is not on PA but should be there in your view" or even "stuff that is on PA but has less than 10 ratings". By the way, there's no law that states only jamesbaldwin can start such a poll.

Hi,
I enjoyed this poll despite not being ready for it. No complaints per se. However in my choice it would be a listing of things for fans, that they can add, that are NOT on PA's top 100 album OR BANDS. There is way too much out there that is magnificent and they won't get a suggestion or even a nice wave for some really far out things, and even some of the latest and more modern stuff is rewriting the book as we speak and write ... but we can't bring up the stuff that has become valuable and far out ... I mean ... look at this list of the things I have been listening ... and are any of these even thought about and looked at in PA? Tosca Beats Antique Niyaz Church of Hed Der Plan (Yep ... still crazy these days!) Gunter Schickert Michael Bruckner Thomas Fehlmann Gert Emmens Electronic Eye Funki Porcini Boozoo Bajou David Cross and Peter Banks Public Service Broadcasting Tipsy Binary Icon Kreidler Holy Sons Grails Monolake Biosphere Mogwai Mastelotto and Reuter (and combos) Claudio Simonetti's Goblin Einsturzende Neubauten Lazlo Hortobagyl Quarkspace Bass communion and Muslimgauze Bombay Dub Orchestra Sosumu Yokota Mexican Institute of Sound Laibach Rolf Trostel Gabor Csupo David Parsons Mushroom Album Leaf Mono Gudrun Gut Edgar Broughton Band Robert Wyatt (when was the last time you EVER heard anyone playing RW?) ... just for starters in the past 2 months that Guy Guden has returned to Space Pirate Radio on Twitch. You'll never hear so much music in one place!

I on the other hand have occasionally been lost by poll or list series that went on too quickly... I'm ready to go for no. 2, but a bit of patience won't hurt.

When I was young, and a huge fan of Springsteen, I wondered: why does Bruce have so few female fans? Now that I love prog I say to myself: but how is it that for prog there are above all male fans? It is not a good thing! And in fact how is my partner? She loves Italian melodic music, the one that comes from melodrama, from opera, similar to the Sanremo festival! And I have to listen to Tiziano Ferro or Jovanotti, or Vasco Rossi, or Eros Ramazzotti: I can't stand them! When I put Van der Graaf's music in the car, she says that music annoys her, irritates her (the only one she likes is Refugee). With Springsteen it's already better, she bears it more and she appreciates many songs. It must be said that she is from southern Italy, and I from Milan, I am Central European (Mitteleuropäisch) in all respects, she is still tied to the Byzantine culture. |

My three votes.
1. My entry... Freak Kitchen. 2. Luna Amara - Cool melancholic groove. Like the trumpet. Catchy chorus. Sounds modern. 3. Sonia Dada - Wacky fun stuff. "No disco in the jungle." Right on! The screaming vocals are a bit much. |

by the way, let’s not forget that we are not all boys here. Some of us may be gender fluid, some may indentify as gender neutral, and some are even chicks! * So let’s not sound sexist or gender biased.
 * using the term chicks in coordination with the sexist term is a sort of joke in case it’s not obvious to all |

Haha, yes, I thought about posting something similar. A quicker series might build up some momentum. Maybe a time frame for choosing the “winner” would help, as having a winner is part of the MO, but no reason why there can’t be multiple ones running at the same time. Theese are all winners for me. There was only one I didn’t initially like much due to a certain anti-metal bias, and that I subsequently liked much more. I do plan to go rather more obscure next time with my choice even if not really obscure. |

Hi, Same time element, although I think that Ides of March were more influenced by CHICAGO and SONS OF CHAMPLIN than anything else. AND both of these had been doing shows in the Chicago area for some time, and were well known even before they were "signed" and their albums became known. Ides of March started way before, but hit it big with the single in mid 1970. Sons of Champlin very early but not "signed" until 1968. Colosseum mostly between 1968-1971

My choices: I like very very much: 1) SONIA DADA: JUNGLE. This is a truly contemporary, syncretic fusion song (funk, rap, heavy metal), with a stinging but very refined sound and an exceptional performance. Enhtralling and surprising. MASTERPIECE 2) LUNA AMARA: DEAD ENDS. Rock ballad dominated by the wonderful voice of the singer, and by the melody of the trumpet. It is a traditional pop-rock song, verse-refrain, which manages to get the best out of the arrangement and emphatic interpretation of the singer. The engaging emotional side is essential to appreciate it. I like it very much. ALMOST MASTERPIECE. Then... it's not easy to choose between OTHER two "almost masterpiece" that I like very much. - Nick Drake: Riverman. Poignant, simple song, all based on melody. But this is the typical song that I call inspired and immediate, because it touches the strings of your heart. Drake's voice is perfectly suited to the mood of the song and the arrangement with the strings, very creative, raises the quality of the song. - Freak Kitchen: Porno Daddy. Heavy metal arrangement, with very fast guitar slits, conventional verse-refrain structure but with great care for arrangement and composition, which always creates variations. Song powerful, that gives the charge, engaging. BUT I CHOOSE 3) PORNO DADDY BECAUSE IT IS A SURPRISE FOR ME (i DIDNT KNOW FREAK KITCHEN.) Other songs I like very much: - THE ILLINOIS SPEED PRESS: Beauty. Californian rock and roll with great solos on the electric guitars. -Foals: Heavy Waters. Rhythm-based electronium beginning with choirs with a decorative role. Characteristic is the sound, and the song gives its best in the surprising instrumental piece, completely creative, almost an improvised jam, syncopated in funky-jazz style. Too bad that in the end the sung part and the song fades without returning anything new. Notable song but missed masterpiece. - ANNA & ELIZABETH: Little Black Train. Simple song, all based on country melody and vocal interpretation, both remarkable. It gives a nice pleasure, which is what I attribute to the true inspiration associated with immediacy. Other songs very good to my ears: - Hattler: Assalamu Alaikum. A basically soulful song with a pop-rock arrangement and remarkable guitar work. Strange the effect of the refrain with words in Arabic. - Shoes: The Acid rock and roll with a typical Sixities arrangement (rock, psychedelia, beat), good creativity, interesting instrumental part, almost cacophonic, near to a jam-session. Other good songs to my ears: - Ides of March: Vehicle. Live song with a orchestral jazz arrangement, very exuberant, characterized by the powerful voice of the singer. It is not a genre that I love very much. Reminds me of the Colosseums with Chris Farlowe. - Parliament: Mothership connection. Here we listen to a noisy funky, very uncouth, very spontaneous, it seems almost improvised, and there is something of a reggae. To be listened to while smoking marijuana because it remains the same from start to finish. It relaxes me and puts me in a good mood but does not exalt me. All based on rhythm, vocal interpretation and wind instruments. Tr NOT EXACTLY OF MY TASTE: -RATSO: I WANT EVERYTHING. The voice of the singer recalls Leonard Cohen! And even the atmosphere, languid, vaguely erotic, with the voice of a chorister in the background. Very relaxing song, to be heard at night with a woman before.... -LAMBCHOP: Pop song, airy, carefree, relaxed, all based on the singing and the light melody, minimal arrangement with percussion that are repeated so that it does not exalt me.

-Nick Drake- Riverman....been a fan for a long time....love his music.
-The Shoes- Time .... not aware of them..thought it was the American power pop band from the 70's like this psychy rock song -Ides Of March-Vehicle.....being from the Chicago area I'm very familiar with them and always liked this track All the songs were interesting but I tend to like more trad sounds which is why i chose those three.
