My favorite Van Der Graaf Generator Album is The Least We Can Do Is Wave to Each Other... 
I don't know how many others would say the same!

In some cases I do like the "wrong" album...
Rush - Rush, Grace Under Pressure, Vapor Trails
Yes - Tormato, Drama
Genesis - ...And Then There Were Three
Dream Theater - When Dream and Day Unite, Falling Into Infinity
The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour
VdGG - The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Eachother
Pink Floyd - The Division Bell, Ummagumma
King Crimson - The Power To Believe
*** None of these albums are my favorite but I really do enjoy all of these albums alot

- I think Hot Space is just as good as Queen's other 80's efforts... and that they're just under Queen's 70's efforts in terms of quality.
- Incantations is my favourite Oldfield album.
- Waterloo Lily is my favourite Caravan (and Canterbury in general, for that matter) album.
- The Damnation Game is my favourite Symphony X album half the time (it's V the other half, but the fact remains).
- I think Focus III is much better than Hamburger Concerto, because I believe they're at their best when they get crazy.
- I think Fish Out Of Water is one of the best solo albums ever.
- My favourite Zeppelin album is Houses of the Holy.
- My favourite Deep Purple album is their self-titled.
- My favourite Tull album (only tried 5, including the overly popular 2) is A Passion Play.

it's my lot in life to like the wrong album:
King Crimson "Beat" (I love Waiting Man and Neil And JackAnd Me)
Frank Zappa "Jazz From Hell" (G Spot Tornado)
Frank Zappa "Sleep Dirt" (The Ocean Is The Ultimate Solution!)
Captain Beefheart "Clear Spot" (Love them Big Eyed Beans)
Rush "Power Windows" (Big Money rocks!)
Utopia "POV" (PLAY THIS GAME!)
Kansas "Monolith" (Stay Out Of Trouble kicks a**)
So there, nyaaaaaa!

My love for live albums has always found me at odds with common opinion:
Yes - Yesshows - my fave album (by the way, I also like most of 'Union'...way better than that awful 'open your eyes' album)
Genesis - Seconds out - 2nd fave album
Rush - Exit stage left -fave Rush album EASILY
Supertramp - Paris - 3rd fave album, to me a masterpiece.
AS for NON live albums, 'Incantations' is also my fave Oldfield album.
My fave Spocks beard album is 'Kindness of strangers' and think 'Snow' is one of their weakest
My fave IQ album is 'Tales from the lush attic' and I think 'Subterranea' is among their worst.
I like EVERY Genesis album, including 'Calling all stations'. The people who trash that album have not given it a fair listen, there are some great songs on it.
Oh yeah, and I DO like 'The final cut' also.

All the Calvert Hawkwind albums. Not many other Hawfans seem to like them..

Wrong. Jean and I love the Calvert Hawkwind albums. The "Sonic Assassins" EP is outstanding; some of the very best Hawkwind of all times. There is an amazing version of "Death Trap" on it.
I agree with "Tarkus" too, but heartily disagree with "And then there were Three".
|
Well it's great that you two like those albums, but generally most Hawkfans around here seem not to. I think for many the sound on 'Astounding sounds..' 'Quark' and 'PXR5' was too close to New Wave and too much a departure from the classic Hawkwind sound on the albums that preceeded them, but I love the tension and mania that Calverts vocals brought to the music. I also appreciated the improvement in production, and the musicanship too.

I like that one too. Definitely some prog moments on there, well, especially with the Lady Lies. In a lot of ways that album was better than what Yes was doing that year with Tormato. More consistent, less cheesy, less pompous. Though I like that album too.
|
Yep, I think it's much better than Tormato. It's arguably less prog, but the songs are stronger IMO. ATTWT was the first Genesis album I heard from begining to end, and I thought of it as 'prog rock' Imagine my delight when I explored `the rest of their music. I'll always have a soft spot for ATTWT. I also consider 'Down and Out' and 'Burning Rope' to be among their best songs.

I might be "wrong" in this sense, but I think that Rush's "Grace under pressure" is one of their most amazing albums... IMO it is not as much about being "progressive" as it is about playing around and experimenting with "musical textures"... if you listen to the album while focusing on the total disconnection between the vocal lines and the music behind them, you will understand what I mean.
In any case... I said that "I can be wrong"!!!

SOME WORDS OF A "CLASSIC" GENESIS FAN:
 I'm a fan of CAS, and the alternative Album (did you heard "Run out of time?". What a song! But not included in CAS!!)
OK... GABRIEL, HACKETT, BANKS, RUTHERFOD & COLLINS ARE THE BESTS!
(I can see all those old Genesis fans trying to kill me...)
But I saw and listened to the CAS Tour (DVD LIVE IN KATOViCE -POLAND-, etc), and a lot of bootlegs.
And the band on stage was really great. RAY was really a showman (not a newbie). Mike and Tony, were perfect, as usual. Drenann is better and has more feeling than Daryl, and Nir Z did a great work.
It was an attempt of modernizing the band, without forgetting the past. With some young people, and new resources (acoustic set), a new composer, etc.
And Ray's voice is a mix between Gabriel, Collins, himself and something more obscure. 
He sings the old stuff, the Collins songs, and the new material perfectly.
 I was in great disagreement with the decision to suspend the recording of the second album.
It could have been really good!! |
Excuse me, but THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, since I've been registered to this forum I noticed that I am one
of the few who thinks Train of Thought by DT absolutely kicks ass!
Besides that, I think that When Dream and Day Unite is a pretty good
album (ignoring the terrible production).
And in many places I've seen people slaughtering BE by Pain of Salvation, while I think that it is a magnificent piece of work.

Not at all. It's just very different. A lot like Talking Heads (Brian Eno's
presence). The next two albums are in the same style, but aren't nearly as
good.

I'm not really alone with preferring TFTO and Relayer, but CTTE and Fragile are more popular.
SDOIT is far less popular than some other DT albums, but it's my favourite after IAW and Awake.
I also like FII.
Preferring The Lamb over Selling is also a minority opinion. Foxtrot is almost as highly placed as Selling, so it's not reallly the "wrong" album to championate.
