Eno would have absolutely been my number 1 had I voted. I think he has a great argument for the best artist of the modern era when you consider all the great music he was involved in creating. His creativity and innovation in the 70s was just off the charts.Honorio wrote:Sorry for not having time to vote. I participated actively in the previous edition but right now I'm simply too busy (not only I haven't been able to participate but the last two weeks I even haven't even been able to visit AM Forum, which makes me so sad). It's funny that you mentioned Brian Eno because these last two weeks it's the only music I'm listening (I'm currently listening at Grooveshark to the whole output of Eno as musician, producer and collaborator in chronological order while I work at the computer writing the presentations for the many conferences I have to give right now, it's a music that increases my concentration). On the first edition I was one of the supporters of inducting Eno on the backstage wing because I thought that his merits as a producer (he was the main responsible of the link between rock and avant-garde) were higher that his merits as a performer. Maybe I still think the same (I'm currently listening to his 1984 collaboration with Harold Budd "The Pearl" so I've already listened to his productions for John Cale, David Bowie's Berlin Trilogy, Talking Heads, Devo, Ultravox, the compilation "No New York" or his works for Obscure label with Gavin Bryars, Michael Nyman or John Cage) but his production as solo artist (or with Cluster, Robert Fripp or Harold Budd) is also outstanding, both his pop albums and his ambient works. So if I find the time to vote on the next weeks count with Brian Eno as my number 1.
