I'll not vote for Zappa as I find enough with few votes here that I can support: Yugen, Zamla Mammaz Manna, John Zorn. Zopp could have a vote as well but that's a double bill so they'd only get half of my vote, and half of Zopp can't compete with the others. Very strangely, I realise, being a massive Art Zoyd fan, I have never heard a Zaboitzeff solo album in full, just a few videos. Not even because I didn't like what I heard, just... it has never happened. Unhappy

^ No worries, was not meant to point out error, I was just unclear on it. Easy to miss things in these long lists especially as I combined it with Zaar to have more entries. And some are still used to just voting for one entry when it comes to multiple vote series.

Heck, I genuinely totally forgot about Yes for Y. I mean it did not even occur to me as I made the list. Even if I didn't include it, for it not to come to mind is odd (I have Holes in my head bigger than Mercury Rev, just to reference a song I love). I think I would have included Yes as I have been growing to appreciate Yes more again in recent years (I was big on early Yes as a teenager, up to Fragile). And while I have spoken against Close to the Edge as only really liking the title track, I have forgotten to mention that I do like "And You And I" a lot too. "Siberian Khatru" is **** however. ;) Fill in asterisks as desired. I still think as a three track album that it is overrated (that dreaded word) in comparison to the more sophisticated Bubu - Anabelas. Courses for horses. Fragile is great though. :)

A. Time is relative.
B. Hell yeah.

I am not the most patient of people, commonly don't like it when things drag on, like to get things "done" that I start, found it easier and more time efficient to prepare the last four or five polls all together, and knowing that I'd be very busy soon, I did want to get them out of the way.

I’d noticed that Yes had been left out, but thought better not to make a drama of it…..

The biggest one that might make some people scratch their heads with "Y would you leave it out?", especially those who know little of my interests, is Yes. It's not one of my particular favourites (I like Fragile the most of its albums), but also, I didn't even think of it for this poll. Some say it's better to leave the biggest names of the polls anyway... Course Zappa is here. As ever, the commentary and amicable discussion means more to me than the votes themselves. And this series was meant to be not just about what I include in the poll, but about what others appreciate and would like to give some attention to and discuss.

I might do one more of these at some time ere long covering some of the less obvious, lesser-known or talked about at PA releases that have been covered by people other than me throughout this series. But I would want to famialiarise myself a bit with the music first. And I might cover some silly omissions, like missing Oriental Wind not one but twice if thinking Oriental Wind for O and thinking Okay Temiz and Oriental Wind for T. I should've checked my old iPod for this series but I do like to focus on music that is still very relevant to my particular interests right now. 10 years ago I was mostly listening to different stuff regularly. 10 years before that I mostly was listening to other stuff than then and so on.... It is the most current of tastes in people that tend to interest me the most, including music that people got into fairly recently. These polls do cover music I have known for many decades and some only quite recently.

Zebra had the fastest-selling debut in Atlantic's history at the time of release. Yeah, they should've been a lot bigger. The second album enjoyed exposure with a couple singles/videos, but 3.V took on water and sank like a stone. It shouldn't have, since Triumph's "Somebody's Out There" enjoyed regular rotation and that was a hit.

If I look at my 64 GB iPod Touch, which does not hold its charge and I stopped using quite a few years ago, under Z is Zanov, Zheng Jun Mian & Li Hong, Zhou Xian, ZNR and The Zodiac. Under Y is Yan Tregger, Yatha Sidhra and Yugen.

I never categorised it right, so, say, Frank Zappa is under F.

From the poll, I will choose Zao, Zanov and Yatha Sidhra
