Are we meant to care what Mark Ellen or David Hepworth think cos it's most probably them who nominated her.

As I said in a Kate Bush thread there seems to be a lack of self edit in today's artists once they have more freedom in releasing material. That's why record labels and producers are a necessary...
I played the album again yesterday. Gaza has a formulae I can't entirely grasp so not sure whether the live versions would help me lock into it especially as I have no resources outside my local...
It's an album I don't feel will ever grow on me. Gaza just lacks something despite the good intention. Sounds like a medley of tunes from Fish's Sunsets On Empire with h improvising over the top....
I was pleasantly surprised by Treason as it seemed dismissed by Jerry Lucky in his Progressive Rock book. I picked it up about ten years after the other albums and outside the debut I listen to it...
The instrumental section foreshadows some of the work on ELP's Pictures At An Exhibition and elements of Canterbury found in Robert Wyatt's solo improvisations and Egg's Germ Patrol. I quite like it...
I listened to it the other day. Not played it as much as the first two so less familiar with it. I love the way album to album they keep developing in terms of lengthy compositions. Moonchild was a...
I tend to like the first album, Red Queen and Treason the best. Midnight Mushrumps in respect of the title track is brilliant but I think it overshadows everything else on there. Raindance is for me...
Yes. Traveller is from their Christian concept album The Road.
I haven't got access to my own PC so can't upload from CD.
I've got the album Wizards and Demons featuring Lord of the Rings inspired tracks from the likes of Fat Mattress, Uriah Heap, Sam Gopal, Man, Trader Horne, Sally Oldfield and Skip Bifferty.
The Red Shoes is OK for the first six songs but the rest especially the Prince and Procol Harum tunes are terrible.
I tend to put Radiation as my favourite of the four post EMI albums including Anoraknophobia which was to all intent and purposes an Intact release. Just for the record Script For A Jester's Tear,...
No, I agree she was doing things more on her own terms on The Dreaming but she did have outside help to a degree. The last three albums after the lengthy hiatus show an artist who wants to release...
The Hounds of Love for me was too much of a compromise between pleasing the record company with side one and herself with side two. The Sensual World seemed to be her doing things more on her own...
The story surrounding The Musical Box and Harold The Barrel were the sort of things Vic Reeves would have been inspired by and Supper's Ready with its aching mens feet and sure as eggs is eggs is I...
I feel the same. It's the album I reach for the most. Always presume it's Kate's personal favourite.
Genesis highpoint for me was A Trick of the Tail and Wind and Wuthering with the albums either side representative of how the music was developing from avant garde to romanticism and from romanticism...
I thought the 1971 and 1972 lists were pretty average compared to 1975 and they were kept to a Top 10.
Wish You Were Here is better than Dark Side, Obscured By Clouds and Meddle and The Snow Goose...
It's the only album of his I'm yet to get. I got Field of Crows on the Scattering Crows tour and had been catching up on the previous releases between 2002 and then. I saw him around the time of...
Fish Plague of Ghosts from Rainbow With Zippy
I'm thinking of The Sun Ain't Going To Shine Anymore and other Walker Brothers hits I've heard. I'm not sure if it's meant to be a mickey take of The Righteous Brothers but the singing is atrocious....
I agree to a degree. It seems that prog bands start out either ordinary or extraordinary and through winding roads tend to find themselves in an ordinary world.
I like them equally but the first just edges it cos of Mystic Queen which is like the first course for the banquet that is Mirage.
My grandparents had their milk delivered by horse and cart and having only a few rounds to make a result of competing with the electric floats the milkman would often pop into their house to play the...
I've only Echoes by Pink Floyd to judge their final release but apart from High Hopes it seems pretty poor material. Genesis' Calling All Stations would perhaps have been far more successful had it...
I'd love it if Wattie from The Exploited was a big Prog fan on the quiet. Could imagine he would have been into Sensational Alex Harvey Band which is prog to a degree.
I love the album. It works in the context of the times and shows a band pushing forward. Progressing.
My favourite album is the first as it can be enjoyed by anyone. The first date if you will. This is perhaps when you invite them round for a meal.
Wish You Were Here, Lamb Lies Down tour, Yes solo projects, I Believe In Father Christmas, Warrior At The Edge Of Time, Fly By Night, Blue Jays, The Snow Goose, Fripp/Eno, The Rotters Club etc.
It's my favourite Tull album too. I think 1975 was the best year for Prog. I know 1971-3 is considered the golden period with Aqualung, Thick As A Brick and A Passion Play but with War Child being...
I can never get past his voice. It always sounds sub standard alongside the other singers of the sixties. Not prog at all. I put it in the same category as Leonard Cohen. An acquired taste.
Everybody Wants To Rule The World?
I've never really been that impressed with the band as individuals since their poor performance at Liverpool Royal Court in support of The Christmas Album in 2004. So none of that incarnation of the...
I love Breathless both the title track and the album :)
I bought the reissues of the first four and then the two Caravan-centric releases. Also have I Can See Your House From Here on vinyl so I'm halfway through the canon. I think Moonmadness is the...
Best Prog band and their debut my favourite Prog album. I'd recommend them to anybody who wants to know what progressive music is like. My first brush with the genre was with Marillion and Camel were...
I am struggling with this album even after a dozen or so plays. Gaza is normally playing while I make a cup of tea which I try and dawdle until the title track comes on which is awesome. Pour My Love...
Camel: Mystic Queen
It just seems like the greatest progressive song ever in that it has both a cinematic and dream like quality that makes me think of the most beautiful girl and the most...
