Great to see that Georgie and Slucs also appreciate Todd's "A Wizard, A True Star." I am interested in finding out which other two poll participants included this wonderful album in their lists.

Great to have four of us in the forum. I wonder if any of the other folks from the 50's have a greater affection for Velvet Underground than myself

Here are some albums that I would like to see in this year's top 1000 that weren't (as far as I recall) in the top 1000 in our 2014 poll: Todd Rundgren - A Wizard, A True Star (my all-time rating=5, AM all-time rating as of 2015=654, placement in 2017 poll=664 :music-rockon: ) - this may be the only...

The last time we did this poll, I was very happy to see OK Computer finish 2nd. I think we needed confirmation that it could be beaten. I like VU & Nico and Ok Computer about equally though, so either one winning is fine by me. I would prefer to see a winner that was more enjoyable for me than ...

I will say this since this is my opinion: The Velvet Underground & Nico trumps OK Computer any day of the week.

I kind of figured that The VU might strike again

As long as number one isn't The Velvet Underground

I am fascinated with the lack of appreciation of the Tindersticks by the folks I know who live in or are from Nottingham. Of course all of these mates are over 55 years old and that age is perhaps a key reason why they haven't grown to love Tindersticks yet. I'm not a big fan either yet, but I can a...

The icons of the 1960's and 1970's are passing with great frequency. I wonder if Georgie can offer a few inspirational words for those of us who were avid fans of Steely Dan. I wonder if Donald Fagen will continue to grace us with more of his compositions or find another partner for these efforts.

I feel like an imposter; I was born in the 1950's by just three weeks. But someone has to keep Henry company. Henry hasn't voted yet. And I thought we were the only two. Let's see if there is fourth from our decade brave enough to mix it up on the forum. I was born in 1956 - how about you Dave?

Todd Rundgren at The Chapel in San Francisco. I've never been to The Chapel before and Todd's latest series of concerts (as I've seen on YouTube) have been purposefully unpredictable. So my expectations are that this will be a 17-18 song set with Todd doing some covers as well as many of his own son...

I'm not a great fan of Baduizm, but have enjoyed Otherside of the game, Rimshot (intro), and especially On & On.

In my opinion, the first two are masterpieces (obviously! my #1 and #7) but the third (Curtains) is very good too (my #54). The rest is ok too but less good than the first three IMO and my personal interest has probably decreased. But i saw them live a few months ago and it was still really great. ...

Just saw Peter Frampton and The Steve Miller Band at Jones Beach.

The acts both performed very well, but there was too much rain during Frampton's set. It will be nice to return to California in a few days.

Thanks for the Paul Weller info. Another release is Todd Rundgren's White Knight. Pitchfork's Sam Sodomsky gave it a meh 6.6 rating. I'm sure that some of the songs will grow for me as a Todd fan, but after listening to four of the songs, I can appreciate Sam's take. http://pitchfork.com/reviews/alb...
