This is part two of the included in PA polls from 2010 until now that cover lots of albums by acts that I have mentioned various times before. Hooray for repetition and nay to originality! ;) I know it can get super-boring seeing the same names come up again and again and super-tedious voting for similar lists with the same names. And, as has been pointed out before. My polls do tend to most attract the same people again and again and leave out the same people again and again from getting involved in posting in the polls. This is 25 different acts with albums I like from the period. I also did an albums by 25 acts outside of PA for 2010 until now and would like to do one more of those with 25 albums from 25 different acts. For comparison... Here is the first poll for music in PA: https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=134181" rel="nofollow - https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=134181 There I covered: black midi - Hellfire (2022) David Bowie - Blackstar (2016) Ciśnienie - The Brass Album (2020) Richard Dawson - Peasant (2017) William D. Drake - The Rising of the Lights (2011) Electric Orange - Volume 10 (2014) Godspeed You! Black Emperor - 'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend! (2012) Anna von Hausswolff - The Miraculous (2015) Kayo Dot - Coyote (2010) Kikagaku Moyo - House in the Tall Grass (2016) King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Polygondwanaland (2017) Kosmischer Läufer - Volume Three (2015) Motorpsycho & Ståle Storløkken - The Death Defying Unicorn (2012) North Sea Radio Orchestra - I a Moon (2011) Oneohtrix Point Never - Garden of Delete (2015) Guillaume Perret & The Electric Epic - S/T (2012) PoiL Ueda - Yosh*tsune (2023) Radiohead - A Moon Shaped Pool (2016) The Smile - Wall of Eyes (2024) Sprain - The Lamb as Effigy (2023) Squid - O Monolith (2023) Susanne Sundfør - Ten Love Songs (2015) Swans - The Glowing Man (2016) Thee Oh Sees - Mutilator Defeated at Last (2015) Chelsea Wolfe - Pain Is Beauty (2013) The current poll has Alio Die - Deconsecrated and Pure (2012) All Hands_Make Light - Darling the Dawn (2023) Amoeba Split - Dance of the Goodbyes (2010) Aranis - Made in Belgium (2012) Bent Knee - Shiny Eyed Babies (2014) Black Country, New Road - For the First Time (2021) Breidablik - Omicron (2020) Kate Bush - 50 Words for Snow (2011) Current 93 - If a City Is Set Upon a Hill (2022) Elephant9 with Reine Fiske - Silver Mountain (2015) Far Corner - Risk (2018) Goat - World Music (2012) Homonculus Res - Limiti all’eguaglianza della parte con il tutto (2013) Koenji Hyakkei - Dhorimviskha (2018) Magick Brother & Mystic Sister - self-titled (2020) Magma - Félicité Thösz (2102) Klaus Morlock - Penumbra (2016) Needlepoint - Walking Up That Valley (2021) Oiapok - OisoLün (2023) Rational Diet - On Phenomena and Existences (2010) Secret Chiefs 3 - Malkhut (2019) Le Silo - Yamai (2019) Uboa - Impossible Light (2024) Univers Zero - Clivages (2010) Zwoyld - 200 000 (2014) And the out of PA poll found here: https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=134183" rel="nofollow - https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=134183 Beach House - Bloom (2012) The Comet Is Coming - Trust in the Lifeforce of the Deep Mystery (2019) Daughters - You Won't Get What You Want (2018) Dear Laika - Pluperfect Mind (2022) Deerhunter - Halcyon Digest (2010) Beth Gibbons - Lives Outgrown (2024) PJ Harvey - Let England Shake (2011) James Holden & The Animal Spirits - The Animal Spirits (2017) Julia Holter - Have You in My Wilderness (2015) Kimbanourke - Binjari (2024) Lingua Ignota - Caligula (2019) Melody's Echo Chamber - Melody's Echo Chamber (2012) Mid-Air Thief - Crumbling (2018) Joanna Newsom - Have One on Me (2010) Niechęć - Niechęć (2016) otay:onii - Míng Míng (2021) Perfume Genius - Ugly Season (2022) Bruno Pernadas - Those Who Throw Objects at the Crocodiles Will Be Asked to Retrieve Them (2016) St. Vincent - All Born Screaming (2024) samlrc - A Lonely Sinner (2024) Sufjan Stevens - The Age of Adz (2010) Tapir! - The Pilgrim, Their God and the King of My Decrepit Mountain (2024) Vanishing Twin - The Age of Immunology (2019) Weyes Blood - And in the Darkness, Hearts Aglow (2022) Xiu Xiu - Plays the Music of Twin Peaks (2016) So probably not very much of interest across the board for most at the forum, but I plow my own furrows.

Hooray for repetition says a usual suspect!  At least the number of albums you mention all the time is big enough that I believe I still see some for the first time in one of your polls. My votes go to Black Country New Road, Kate Bush, Univers Zero, Needlepoint and Oiapok (I don't remember Needlepoint from your polls, on BCNR I'm not so sure; by the way I find Needlepoint's 2024 album quite a bit weaker than the listed one). I like the Uboa album and it'll feature on my album of the year list, but I have listened to it just once until now. Too much music, too little time. At some point I gave Far Corner a test listen, and I actually liked it, too, but didn't buy it immediately so I lost it from my radar. Of course you could challenge yourself to mention only artists you haven't mentioned in polls before for three polls straight!

The seasonal Kate Bush album, at least for those of us in the northern hemisphere.

^ Thanks all.
Indeed. :) I have done so many polls (way too excessive at times), and long-form polls at that, that choosing that many artists I have not mentioned would be a challenge indeed, particularly IF those acts have albums that I actually really like (not just once liked, but still remember and care about). There's are lot of middling stuff that I never have bothered to mention because I like to focus on that which has had (and ideally continues to have) a significant impact on me. :) OR I at least really like. There's lot I have liked, even since 2010, that just does not do it for me now. Nice to se the variety of approaches at PA from different members. I actually do wish more people who try their hand at long-form polls of favourites. I like to see a wide cross-section of an individual's favourite albums (and tracks if there is a playlist, embeds). With most communicative people here I have found music interests in common -- especially when it comes to the 60s and 70s not surprisingly. ------------------------------------------------------------ Ona different note: I notice that I wrote Magma - Félicité Thösz (2102). I thought about correcting it, but then realised that I can claim that 2012 is 2102 when converted into Kobaian years. I satrt at the same year one, but Kobaia takes a little less time to orbit around its sun and so its years are shorter. We could standardise the two calendars (Earth & Kobaia) with leap years but the Kobaia regime is bloody (or glao-y as they call it) hard to negotiate with. Tariffs have been proposed but I'd hate to see additional taxes on Zeuhl. Such de hundin music is for the cosmos to enjoy! Tariffs might put me in the doghouse, but I should keep Earthly-Kobaian politics out of this. |

Far Corner, Koenjihyakkei, Amoeba Split, and Bent Knee. There's quite a few I'm not that familiar with. Driving through Pennsylvania makes me feel hydrogenated and corotated. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |
