Guitar legend Allan Holdsworth (1946-2017) has played with some of the biggest names in Jazz Rock/Fusion, most notably Soft Machine, Pierre Moerlen's Gong, short-lived supergroup U.K. & last but least 'Igginbottom (Who?). Allan Holdsworth has his own distinctive and instantly recognisable guitar style, which includes a vast array of complex chord progressions, such as diminished, augmented, chromatic and altered scales - and if that makes any sense at all to you, then you know far more about music theory than I do. The appreciation of Allan Holdsworth's guitar virtuosity here at ProgArchives remains undiminished, unlike Allan Holdsworth's chord progressions.   1976: Allan Holdsworth - Velvet Darkness - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWFXsGz50Kq349oDTwYFxIZtt_PU17PdM 1978: Bruford - Feels Good to Me - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL16B7E02A549EA442 1980: Holdsworth, Beck, Clyne & Stevens - Conversation Piece - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAcusrW39X4 1980: Allan Holdsworth & Gordon Beck - The Things You See - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dIoXrkpWL0 1969: Igginbottom - Igginbottom's Wrench - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPycj7A3nNaLu0_4zeoYfwdO0xT55gnGV 1976: Pierre Moerlen's Gong - Gazeuse! - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_ntcXIN-OlzdPtKU5ct87mHE4FpikPvPIs 1975: The New Tony Williams Lifetime - Believe It - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLo8SRTJOJ2EbxRYR1UzAefYLBiGRkdPxS 1973: Pat Smythe Quartet - New Dawn Live 1973 - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nB73wZPMMA9jEJDcfcejpEHvPwwfmij8s 1968: Soft Machine - The Soft Machine - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zs441a1O658 2003: Soft Works - Abracadabra - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90wuHMT9DFU |

I knew that, but I could hardly list Bundles as the first Soft Machine album.

If Bundles is on here I'm picking it. I went with Believe It! but there's five on here I really like. |

Bruford Gong KČ Book of the Dead is a really good album with a Gabriel esque singer. Shout out to Jean-Luc Ponty "Enigmatic Ocean". |

But Gazeuse! and Believe it are not the first albums of Gong or Tony Williams, respectively. So, what point are you trying to make? That Allan was a key player in these bands' discography (when he was obviously not) or that these bands existed before and after Allan's contributions? Feels to me as if you're stretching yourself out onto a limb with some of your polls! |

Gazeuse! is the first album by Pierre Moerlen's Gong and the first album by The New Tony Williams Lifetime is Believe It (or not). |

^Allan is the most creative and innovative musician ever. He doesn't get the discussion he deserves on PA. So, any thread about Allan makes me happy.
