Favorite Atomic Rooster album

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Me again, with another poll that is likely to fail. This time it's Atomic Rooster, Carl Palmer, of Emerson, Lake, and Palmer fame's first band. I personally love this band, and i'd like to get some feedback and see if anyone else does too.
My personal favorite is In Hearing of Atomic Rooster.

	Brilliant band- their first three albums are masterpieces of heavy prog, but my favourite is 'Death Walks Behind You'- every track is brilliant, plus there are two first class organ driven instrumentals. The Chris Farlowe stuff I don't like as much, but it's still really good. 'Headline News' I like a lot, bar the utterly dreadful production- definitely one of the worst I've heard.

	Although In Hearing of is their best , my vote went down for Made In England. Way under rated, and just as good as the predecessor. Stand By Me is awesome but most tracks are excellent, Slightly more uneven (and weaker) follow-up DWBY is just too metallic for me, but is one of those genre defining albums.

	Nice to see that 'In Hearing of Atomic Rooster' has got so many votes... it's worth it! It's a winner

	Excellent group. I go for Death Walks behind you. Excellent poll, more of these rather than Dream theatre v's Dream theater all the time...

	I've got to go for Death Walks Behind You (which is the truth) ... although I was very tempted to give the first album a boost, because it shouldn't be ignored

	A close thing between the debut and In Hearing Of which are both excellent. I go for the latter as the material is maybe a bit stronger and is enriched by Pete French's unique Cockney hard rock vocals (his work on Breakthrough is awesome).

	Definitely the first one, in the original version (see my post about that here: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13619& amp; amp;PN=4 ). It has the most interesting sounds; I especially like the cello on one track. Edited by BaldFriede
