Gabriel > Bowie. Hazard lamps are a circumstance of elephant plates (trust the ear wax).

David Bowie's "Heroes" over Television's Marquee Moon.

And a nod to Klaus Schulze's Mirage as an album that I don't believe would be in this series. The author may have missed it in this life, but hopefully it will be added before the conclusion of the next life. Or at least in a later edition or sequel.

Right now, I'm listening to the last of Robbie Robertson's eight albums on my Legends of Laurel Canyon blog, and this afternoon I'll be listening to Peter Banks (of YES) on my Prog Britannia blog. He has more albums than you'd think, especially if you include his albums with Empire and Flash too. Smile

Meat Loaf - Bat Out of Hell


this album was written for me and about me (or so it seemed, back then) LOL

more seriously, this album's lyrics hit me as hard as Crime Of The Century three years before
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

That's the only album of Meat/Steinman... Don't care at all for the rest (incl act 2 & 3)

Definetely not as strong as Part 1, but I do treasure these three slightly flawed classics:

1 Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
2 David Bowie - Heroes
3 Peter Gabriel - 1

There is a couple of fantastic tracks on pretty much each of the remaining albums though. Love Holidays in the Sun, Ghost Rider, Nightclubbing, River Song, Marquee Moon (the track) etc... but there's also much not to love.

Confused
But that's got  nothing to do with the 77 male teenage-angsts (mostly female & cars-directed) that were the subject (almost concept) of  Marvin Lee Aday's second album. Tongue






Now THAT's classic dramaLOL that was our every day stuff Cool

Fantastic concert too. The band played 20 minutes instrumental because they had blocked the crane that was lowering Meat in the air onto the stage. They were totally enpoying themselves playing away while he was yelling (mike-less) at them from atop them.

I can't (won't!) choose between the two Iggy Pop albums, so I'll vote David Bowie - Heroes. 

Btw, did you know that back in the day Television and The Fall were planning a collaboration album. It would've been called Mark E. Moon.
