Without a doubt the best album of the eighties is:
Marillion - Script For A Jesters Tear ('83); what an album, that cover made you buy it and then at home the music, awesome.
If we go back in time, the 70-is:
The Alan Parsons Project - Tales of Mistery and Imagination ('75); reading Edgar Alan Poe stories at my sister's apartment, she put on this album and left, to do some groceries... I, just 12 years young... creepy.
The 90-ies;
Mostly Autumn - For all, we shared ('98): I had read a review at DPRP about them and they were highly rated. Listened to the intro for maybe a minute in my favorite record shop and bought the first two albums at once and rushed home, unbelievable. It grabbed me and it still does.
The New Century:
As God has Failed from RPWL ('00)... a real WYWH album or must i choose for
Blackfield - Blackfield ('04) from Aviv Geffen and Steve Wilson (Porcupine Tree)
