^ Thanks, you have been a significant inspiration on my tastes, by the way with your recommendations, which I have mentioned before but I feel deserves mention again.

I hope you like it.... I've broken quite a sweat putting this together!! LOL

Suggestion, when preparing such lists in the sauna, try to keep the temperature lower to mitigate steamroom sweat. Very nice list, thanks for preparing and sharing! While I knew that I wanted Vangelis' China in the poll but opted to leave it off due to space limitation, I totally missed adding Vangelis', I think excellent, Opera Sauvage which has been one of my favourite Vangelis albums. I have added it to my list at Awesomeprog.

So here are my favourites of yours:
TD: Force Majeure
PF: The Wall
Froese: Stuntman
Vangelis: Opera Sauvage
Zep: Out Door
Vangelis: China
Supertramp: Breakfast

Also have known and liked Anyone's Daughter: Adonis. I should give that Hackett album a proper listen, and probably try that that UK again (been many years, wasn't for me at the time) and I have liked that Camel album and music off of Stormwatch. Good stuff! Oh, and I really should get down to listening to more Manfred Mann's Earth Band. I like his Solar Fire album from 1974 a lot.

I liked plenty of music from this year, but seeing the other mentions, I know it's a finer year still than what was in my head when I made the poll.

The Wall.

Is it any wonder that the monkey's confused?
