Gnidrolog - Lady Lake never really been comfortable with MMEB's 'Eclectic' tag  they are more Crossover? What do others think?anyway, GG > Curved Air (all fab) ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

Three Friends over In Spite of Harry's Toenail, Phantasmagoria, Lady Lake and Octopus. I should listen to more Manfred Mann. I have heard Catapilla, but not in many years. ------------- "Questions are a burden to others; answers a prison for oneself" (The Prisoner, 1967). |

Yes, you should... start with Solar Fire. It'll put some hairs on your chest... ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson |

^ Thanks, Solar Fire is the one I have listened to the most, very good album, followed by Nightingales & Bombers. And I have checked out The Roaring Silence before. I should have written that I have not listened to this Manfred Mann's Earth Band album as well as various other MMEB albums. ------------- "Questions are a burden to others; answers a prison for oneself" (The Prisoner, 1967). |

Three friends. Schooldays was the first song I've heard from GG and the beginning of my fanaticism for the band that continues to this day. -------------

3 friends is the first GG album I bought, so I vote it. But of course Octopus is their masterpiece. I also like Geesin, Curved Air and Gnidrolog. ...bloody analitics... ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie.

Greg, I'm personally not too fussed about the debut, but everything from Glorified thru Angel Station, peaking in the middle, are a string of very fine and enjoyable albums in my view. ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

Flash I prefer the MMEB, Curved Air and Gentle Giant albums that come later in their discography which makes later polls more interesting to me. Flash were a great and largely forgotten band. Perhaps not heavy enough for the hard rock fans and not proggy enough for progressive rock fans, but nevertheless great players and tight as a duck's bottom.
