The Wigwam poll (classic era)

A fantastic band that would have received more adulation had they not come from Finland!  However, when they signed to Virgin and 'Nuclear Nightclub' was released in 1975, it looked like they might breakthrough.  This was followed by a tour of the UK with Gong in 1976.  However, they became victims of the infamous Virgin clear out of its progressive bands and the label refused to release 'Dark Album', which spelled the end of the classic iteration of the band.  I have included two of Pekka Pohjola's albums (who left in 74) which are praised in prog circles.  Pekka toured with Mike Oldfield and famously turned down Zappa.  It's a niche poll, I know, but after listening to some of 'Nuclear Nightclub' live last night, I decided to put out the poll.

Being, without a question. Jukka Gustavson's finest hour in the group.

Could easily be Being or Fairyport, but since you've put up Pekka's B the Magpie, which I adore, I had to go for that.

While I like most of the Wigwam releases; Pekka gets my vote. It's a masterpiece, and if you can find some of his later jazz fusion videos get ready to be blown away.

Well, with the sad passing of Jim Pembroke over the weekend, the album I reached for was 'Lucky Golden Stripes...'

Only just noticed this poll. Voted Fairyport but I like all the albums listed here. 

I voted Being because I don't really see the logic in including Pekka Pohjola's albums in a Wigwam poll. They really aren't anything alike. 

Fairyport, Being and Pekka's B the Magpie are my tops but i love all the related material including Jim's bonkers Hot thumbs O Reilly lp which i have on the UK original Charisma press.
