 Topic: 25 "A" List ActsPosted: August 14 2024 at 14:35 |
|
These are 25 acts with music that I like, not all are in PA but the majority are, please vote for three of these acts (or more or less). One vote per act, please.
While watching the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics when music was being played I mentioned to my wife hoping to see Air perform, and indeed Air did make a showing (love Air). While she does not like Air as much as Weyes Blood, which I also exposed her too, it is one of her favourites of what I often have played in the car. I try for generally inoffensive, most harmless one might say, music when I have passengers. That said, for her Air is no Air Supply.  And certainly no ABBA. There's a good one per my tastes not on the list. I was going to include Animals and Asylum party too but wanted to focus more on things in PA. And I could have included Astra, Astra Xhol Caravan, and Agalloch (love The Mantle)... They just keep coming to mind, will stick with the first 25 to spring to mind already in the list.If you don't like anything, or even if you do, feel free to mention your favourite A's not in the list. And happy to hear about what you dislike too. Even when thought bad, it's probably all good for me (meaning both the music and comments). |

Proper fan of Art Zoyd and Amon Düül II here. Other good ones follow in some distance. Third vote goes to Area followed by Art Bears, Aksak Maboul, Aranis and Aphex Twin.

Art Bears, Area, and Amon Düül II. I spilled electrons all over my double-pants experiment.

I'll go with Air and Art Zoyd, and while usually I probably would go with Area, for the third I want to go with something that so far hasn't a vote... Will go with Aphex Twin.

Only Atomic Rooster but then I don't even listen to them that much. Carl Palmer went on to greater things blah blah..
Agusa are quite a nice recent find from the Norwegian mob plus I have a soft spot for US retro prog rockers Astra.

^ I have enjoyed Agusa, especially for last year's Prima Materia, and Astra too. I don't listen to Atomic Rooster much either, but Death Walks Behind You is one of my preferred albums, and more-so especially one of my favourite title tracks in PA's Heavy Prog category.
