Once I start on something like this, I just went to get it all done. I had prepared several of the final lists together some time back, but patience is one thing I tend to lack and I am worried about not having much free time in the near future. My poll list of some of my W favourites: The Wake Igor Wakhévitch Mal Waldron Scott Walker Wapassou Weather Report Eberhard Weber Walter Wegmüller Weidorje Weyes Blood (aka Natalie Laura Mering) Wha-Ha-Ha When Lenny White White Noise The Who Windy & Carl A Winged Victory for the Sullen Wipers Wire Witch Chelsea Wolfe World's End Girlfriend Woven Hand Writing on the Wall Robert Wyatt Some not in my poll even if I like them but opted for the 25 above (some I almost decided to, but the list above just felt right to me right now): The Watch John Wetton Alan White Wigwam The Wilde Flowers Tony Williams Lifetime Steve Wilson The Winstons Wippy Bonstack Wishbone Ash W*nk Wobbler Wolves in the Throne Room Richard Wright Link Wray & The Wraymen If applicable, please choose three acts, or more, or less, from this poll of some of my favourites to vote on and mention in a post, and please mention any of your own favourites. I encourage commentary and discussion on any that you think apply. Note that not all are included in the Prog Archives database, but to me all of these in the poll are worth mentioning. I'm sure that many will prefer Ws I mentioned not in the secondary non-poll list to what I decided to go with, and I am interested in hearing about what other people's favourites are.

None of the above unfortunately Greg...  however in the past, the following 'W's have given me pleasure: (early) Rick Wakeman, Steven Wilson, Wolverine, The Watch, Wastefall & Without Face,, and I would vote for the first three. I tend to like Steve Walsh, Darryl Way, Roger Waters, Richard Wright, John Wetton, Woolly Wolstenholme, Eric Woolfson, Robert Wyatt & Jeff Wayne in the context of their bands... I know I've heard some White Willow and Wobbler in the past, but neither are sticking in the memory... ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

I am quite sure I thought about adding that for the "B" List (the not my favourites for this poll list), but then forgot and did not do so. I have heard music by it years ago and I know it has had fans here. ----------------------- For me from the poll: Weyes Blood would be my clear winner in terms of listening here over the past few years. I adore her music, and it is a rare one in my collection that my wife likes too. I hope she comes back to Vancouver for a concert. Or, since my wife frequently travels to California for work, I might get a chance to see her in her native state. Robert Wyatt: I don't listen to Wyatt as much as I did years ago, but I still love so much of his music and music he was involved in, and I still that Rock Bottom is a truly remarkable album and a masterpiece. Igor Wakhévitch: I love this modern classical, electronic and psychedelic artist. If going six, then Waldron (I adore the collaborative album The Call), Wire and Wolfe would also get votes today. Oh, I will give Wire another vote. Been listening to Wire a fair amount of late, in fact the most of any of these recently other than Weyes Blood. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

Scott Walker, Chelsea Wolfe, and Robert Wyatt. What a nice trio that would have made!

Me too. It is easily my favourite of the albums released under his name, and it is one of the most significant albums to me period. Poignant, sublime, rather ridiculous, bathos and pathos.... Wonderful album. It's a triumph. If it doesn't touch something deep inside, I suspect it may be because you are hollow. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

^ I am glad you asked because an impetus for this series, and a reason why I did not want it just to focus on my choices but instead I decided to ask people to vote for and mention what they like off my list (if applicable) and to mention what their favourites are (to each his or her own tastes and knowledge), is because I wanted to further demonstrate (as if just looking at W for Prog Archives is not enough) how very many choices there are, especially depending on taste and experience. This grew out of a specific comment in another poll I had just read where someone mentioned expecting some band or album in the poll. And that person said something like there are only 25 choices available, why would you expect that? There is so much depth and breadth to great music depending on taste that it surprised me sometimes when people seem to expect certain music and sometimes even seem to get upset when it's not there. A big part of what I want in music forum is about trying to get to understand each others music tastes better, gaining some exposure to the music whether we like it or not, coming to appreciate our differences, and coming together as a community despite our differences. I'm kind of idealistic. I could express this "stream" so much better but my son is waiting for his pancakes -- lol. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |
