MJD - Electric Fantasy, This CD is every thing prog rockers complain about, it has ferries, knights, love stories and is so rooted in fantasy as to make it almost to sappy to listen to, but I like it

[schupdoggy]

I forgot about Peter Gee's The Bible. Thanks for reminding me masque. I will change my top ten to reflect that.

Hello mariocc,
I read your proposal to collect the lists of the top 10 2018 and to give away a cd ....
My initiative to publish the lists of those who want to participate has the only purpose of highlighting the considerable differences that exist between all of us and maybe notice in the lists of the other albums that have never listened to or that have not received the right attention and that deserve to be appreciated.
However, I consider myself a guest of aural moon and as such I think that sending back the lists and its final show must be taken into consideration only by Aural Moon staff
If that happens, I'll be the first to send my list
Sincerely

[nicola]
