The title of this poll says it all. :thumbsup:
I haven't heard all of these records, but the albums I know are all highly recommendable. About half a year ago I finally got Robert Wyatt's incomparable Rock Bottom (I wonder what took me so long. :confused:). No doubt that this is the one for me.

The Trojan UK Hits box for me, I've been playing this a lot lately.

Me too. I have to skip Judge Dread though, the daft arse.

I don't know them all. But do not hesitate to vote for Dub Housing, one of the most funny "dark" records, as a wise critic once said.

This fine list has just reminded me that I need to send an email to someone called Alistair Roberts.
:thumbsup:

Dub Housing. Getting back into this after nearly 30 years. Incredibly dynamic sound - on my vinyl copy anyway/ Lovely stuff

The Wyatt lp is a masterpiece. Really timeless. I remember buying my copy on vinyl for £1 from a 2nd hand shop that had a 'damaged' section. Any record with even a minute mark on it would be £1. I got amazing stuff there. Needless to say my copy of Rock Bottom plays perfectly - over 30 years later.

bach, but bright pheobus is a favourite as well.

I really recommend the Alasdair Roberts, but only if you've a strong stomach for folk. What he does on this album is create a fine set of original songs that sound like traditional folk, archaic language and all, but deal with modern subjects. "Let me lie and bleed a while" is intensely moving, and "Firewater" is a wonderful drinking song. It's all fantastic, actually. His best yet. It's on emusic by the way.

Can never decide between Modern Dance and Dub Housing. When I listen to Modern Dance I always find it incredibly fresh and exciting. And then I listen to Dub Housing and find it...incredibly fresh and exciting. :D

Just having a look at this again (since it was raised in the Bagrec poll). I never replied, but if I had, I wouldn't have said the Steven Isserlis recording, because it wasn't out then. It is now, and I recommend it thoroughly.

Can't get a cigarette paper between Rock Bottom, Stormcock and Another Green World, so abstainance here.

I consider Rock Bottom the greatest album of all time.

Went for Roy Harper but that is a very good list. I don't know a few on there but all the ones I do know (7) could have been the first pick.

Rock Bottom.
And the Ideal Copy is not Wire's best.
I like 'Ahead' though.
