Interactive Poll: It's a Family Affair - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Now that I've seen the line-up so far I'm a bit confused. In terms of music quality out of my three proposals Flora Purim & Airto Moreira definitely stand out for me. But since they are quite well-known I thought that I should nominate one of the remaining options. Did Flora & Airto appear in any of the previous polls?

I've updated the nominees but I think we are missing a few. Let me know and I'll make another update later today. I will be back on in about 8 hours and then put together a playlist and add any others.

My nomination is

Bruce Springsteen &The Sessions Band: Further On (Up The Road) live in Dublin

Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

Haven't had time to listen yet, and that won't happen in the next week/10 days or so, but I will do so when it is possible. I already gave my nomination (Jehnny Beth - Human)...

Gino Vannelli - the War Suite

Clocking in at over 10 minutes this piece is probably Gino's most progressive.

From the opening piano and the moody grandiose orchestration through the synth rock middle section and ending with an almost 80's Genesis section The War Suite is one sweet tune.

It gets my nomination.

Thank you for supporting independently produced music

I go with

Hood - The Cliff Edge Of Workaday Morality.

...4. Make your final nomination by Monday Nov. 22....

I'm not confident in my pick as I love both of my choices in different ways, but I will go with Boards of Canada's "Dayvan Cowboy" over The Unthanks' "Mount the Air" as my nomination. I do find that The Unthanks very beautiful and wonderful. "Dayvan Cowboy" has the possible advantage of being half the length. That doesn't make it more enjoyable to me, but in a long playlist I could imagine some appreciating brevity.

Duos for fave acts

I'll get nowhere near listening to everything this weekend, so I just leave quick comments for Lorenzo and Nicky (with preferential treatment because you have commented on the submissions, thanks!). I'm happy to see good feedback on the Hood song. Smile

I love watching and feeling the Baker duet, it feels like a proper family thing, so well suited for this poll, still of course it's not really much of a composition.

Generally the thing with melodic subtle and calm music for me is that I do like it, but there is some unexplainable magic factor that makes some melodies work for me and others not. I find the magic factor this time in the Bruce Springsteen song (would you believe it!? Due to Lorenzo's never tiring efforts I may end up going to watch him life if I get the opportunity, although I still don't see myself buying an album of his), and in the Hank Dogs, who also come with a wonderful voice. Julie Miller's voice I'm not so sold on, although the song is beautiful, Richard and Linda Thompson on the other hand do great singing but the song somehow doesn't do the trick for me. The Gang song is good to listen to, but I have difficulties with most music that shouts "I'm about the lyrics" too loudly at me. Toto for sure has some complexity and interest, but the smooth American commercial production is not my cup of tea. Al Bano & Romina's Felicita was far too popular in Germany for not being hated by me (at the time that is). Wink
