Vishwa Mohan Bhatt - Saradamani

Xpost psst a walk across the rooftops is even better

debatable

though also a completely legit opinion as both are perfect

^^^ I'll accept that

Doers anybody else hear Headlights on the Parade off Hats as a very close take off on a Kraftwerk track. I think it's something from Man machine. Not listened to either in a while but did so in the late 80s quite a bit and thought it was possibly an intentional rewrite or something that had come from thaem jamming on it or something.

What is most interesting about this thread is that there are answers. For 15 years, any thread soliciting your favorite [anything] would be greeted with maybe one or two sincere replies, then a smattering of snark, then a slide down the sna.

Solex - Low Kick and Hard Bop
Kate Bush - The Dreaming
Broadcast - Haha sound
Pj Harvey - Is This Desire?
Fleetwood Mac - Tusk (just narrowly beating out Judee Sill's self-titled).

anything to keep ILM alive

cardiacs - sing to god*
van der graaf generator - pawn hearts
julian cope - fried
jute gyte - perdurance**
the fiery furnaces - blueberry boat

*i could have made an equally valid top 5 featuring only cardiacs-related projects, but i didn't
**until his next one

Jesus rip van wanko, I was just about to post the 1994-1995 output of Phish, Blues Traveler, and Dave Matthews Band, but in light of your praise of sincerity I'll be real. Here's my current favorite 5 without thinking too hard.
