Hi y'all!
For the next EPL, I'm putting five artists/bands in the poll that have not yet been featured here. I don't know much about any of these albums...and they represent an array of musical styles!
So...choose your favorite! Voting will close on Sunday, Nov. 3.

I'm very happy that I decided to heed the voting of our very close second place finisher in the previous poll. Absolution, the third album from Muse, really knocked my socks off. I was quite impressed with the harmonic language of Matthew Bellamy. The songs and performances all flowed quite nicel...

We're continuing on in our exploration of The Planets by Gustav Holst. This time, it's movement 6, Uranus (The Magician). This is a bombastic and harmonically slippery movement with loads of color. I hope you enjoy!

After a very close vote, it's the first time on the Extended Play Lounge for Van Der Graaf Generator. Today, I'm listening to their third album from 1970, but this is the remastered version from 2021. These songs are quite powerful and still resonate today...even as I hear them for the first time...

Here's the recording of our latest Doug on Demand session. We heard quite a few harder edged tunes in this session. And all the titles were worthy and wonderful selections.

2024-10-02 02:11:00 +0000 UTC View PostThese five albums have been on the master list for quite some time, and I am still interested in all of these albums. Only Marillion has been featured in an EPL previously, and that was Misplaced Childhood very early on.
So, which album should we listen to first?

I'm pleased to continue my exploration of music by King Crimson. In today's Episode, we're listening to KC's 2nd album from 1970, In the Wake of Poseidon. Overall, I think I liked it a bit more than In the Court of the Crimson King. And, it was great to hear more songs sung by Greg Lake! I hope y...

I'm pleased to offer my first reaction to a David Gilmour solo effort. It seems appropriate to start at the beginning of his solo output. And, I really enjoyed this album. Though none of the songs jump out and scream masterpiece, the album is a lovely and sophisticated guitar-led sonic wonderland...
