Dear Reader, part 2 of the 1975 poll (from July onwards).  I know many will cry that their favourites are missed out but I expect the Floyd to dominate anyway.  Incidentally, that summer I saw my first proper bands at an outdoors gig.  One of them was definitely prog and I recall seeing a Mellotron on stage.  Their name was Limelight and a few years later they had 'reinvented' themselves as a NWOBHM outfit!

for me, there are 6 here which I could easily choose.. I'm going to miss PF out and go for a favourite which may not pick up many votes...

Much as I like Godbluff (and Gilgamesh , Wish You Were Here and others), to me it was between the “lives” by Tangerine Dream and Magma, I went with the one that had no votes, Magma’s Live.

Tangerine =Floyd > Magma > VDGG
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

Hi,

Here's a list for you ... these are the artists that Space Pirate Radio played in 1975, from the shows I had recorded and survived since then.

The regular day shows were still "foreign" but mostly anything else ... still not as much American stuff. If you try to choose a favorite in these, you're truly insane and you have not heard a lot of stuff to compare ... in the end, it's impossible!

Regular Space Pirate Shows (sunday nights/monday morning):
(NOTE: Guy has a copy of all the shows I was able to save recorded in high quality mp3 from the really good FM signal the station had)

Edgar Froese
Amon Duul 2
White Noise
Second Hand
Peter Hammill
Faust
Guy Guden's Nothing is Sacred outtakes
Kraftwerk
Le Orme
Peter Cook and Dudley Moore
Can
Tangerine Dream
Flash Gordon Radio Show
Hawkwind
Brian Eno
Can 
Tasavallan Presidenti
Shandu The Magician Radio Show
Brainticket
Walter Wegmuller
Harry Nilsson
Paul McCartney
Hubert Laws
Ash Ra Tempel
Ange
Gilles Zeitschiff
Henry Mancini
Steve Hillage
Cosmic Couriers (one side became the show theme for a long time)
Vivian Stanshall
Banco Del Muttuo Soccorso
Vangelis
4 Karat Gold (All Bums - Lothar Meid)
Khan
Darryl Way's Wolf
Aqua Fragile
Ron Geesin/Roger Waters
Kayak
Ramases
Grobbschnitt
The Long Hello
Aphrodite's Child
Eizelgeiger
Neu
Reale Academie de Musica
Popol Vuh

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
