Lobster Newberg (just been too long since I last listened), and what would have been a popular choice, Locanda Delle Fate, were on my list that I edited to 25. I listened again to music off LDL and realise why I went off it long ago and was never much of a fan. To me it is saccharine, sounds too polished instrumentally, and it is not one of my favourite singers. But I know many love it, bless them.

One might say that the 25 I listed just mean more to me now than other Ls that I recalled.

Kirstin Hayter is sometimes known as Lingua Ignota, but being a reference to a term (it means unknown language in Latin), I prefer it under I than L. Dear Laika, which is Isabelle Thorn's project, should have been under D for her project or later for T under her real name, but I wanted to include her now. Dear Laika is not in PA, but definitely is progressive, and I could compare to Uboa who has been in for some time.

Various of these are not in PA. I thought L'Rain (which I think better under L than R despite the article(ness) of L') was not in PA (and no doubt it wasn't and then it was), but I see it has been added.

Mica Levi is not in PA, and while experimental and some music could fit, I would not expect this soundtrack composer to be in. Lyman made some great early exotica, and I would not expect him to be in PA. The Lounge Lizards are not, although musically related I would say. Claude Lombard is not, but she has psych pop attributes. Love musically would fit Proto-Prog well, I think, as a great and influential psych band. Love is under my Prog umbrella. Sven Libaek is not, nor is Low. And Lambchop is not in PA, if it bothers you that I would add Lambchop to a poll in the Prog section, I say, "Baaaaahhhh, humbug".

Again, vote for three in the poll, or more or less, and please mention those, and I encourage people to mention what they like that is not in the poll. It's not a contest and the 25 I listed simply are 25 that I have enjoyed.

And if you are really confident that I should have added something that I did not to the poll, give me 'L for it.


Here are the past polls: 25 "K" List Acts & 25 "I and J" List Acts & 25 "H" List Acts & 29 "G" List Acts & 26 "F" List Acts & 25 "E" List Acts & 26 "D" List Acts & 25 "C" List Acts & 25 "B" List Acts & 25 "A" List Acts

I struggle with 'L' to be honest..

Landmarq were good; liked the late Tracey Hitchings era..

Landberk were good enough, but didn't set my world alight...

Luna Rossa are good, but prefer Panic Room.

Lifesigns are a bit meh; probably should try harder to like them but probably won't.

LTE... impressive, but overall too much w**kery for me to enjoy a full album.

Lemur Voice had potential, then disappeared....

and I'm not voting for Led Zep... you can forget it!  Big smile

I used to listen to her self titled 1969 album quite a bit. But it's been a while. I never knew she had released more than one albums + tons of singles/EP's. Lots of childrens music but not all.

Zeppelin, man!

No Le Orme, or will that come under "O"?
Lifesigns would also have been given a vote.

Laktating Yak
Land of Chocolate
Liquid Scarlet
Little Atlas

Le Orme (The Footsteps) is a favourite of mine, and I planned to put it under O due to the "Le" article. L'Rain is in this poll, but then I was not sure if that need be taken as an article in that case.
