Road Games is criminally underappreciated, and I prefer UK's 'Concert Classics vol.4' over Night After Night. RG gets my vote. ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F. Kennedy |

Road Games was the album that Eddie Van Halen got Allan a contract with Warner Bros. The producer wanted Allan to hire new band mates and Eddie wanted to play solos on the record. Allan declined and after the album was released his contract was terminated. |

Third is head and shoulders over everything else on here.I would vote Downwind though if SM wasn't on here. And hey, no Holdworth or guitar on Third! ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

That's true, but if I only listed the albums that Allan Holdsworth actually played on, then Allan Holdsworth's Road Games would be the only album in the poll.

| As much as I love both Road Games and Night After Night, Downwind is the winner here. While neither Mick Taylor, Ross Record, nor Mike Oldfield are comparable to Allan Holdsworth, they do a fabulous job on Downwind, which has become my favorite Gong album. |
