the phone rings and somebody says,
"hey, they made a movie about
Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."

Is the poll for the favorite album qua album, or for the album with one's favorite artwork?

Easy pick for me: Brain Salad Surgery!!! I'm not a huge ELP fan, but I do think they were in top form on this album. Love Karn Evil 9.

ELP for me - based on imagery and music. . .  Had a strong pull on me as a lad of 13/14.

Here's a timely piece from Grantland:

Also, the documentary Jodorowsky's Dune is totally worth watching (I saw it last weekend).

RIP Giger. 
Wise words from Que:

Never waste a good reason for a purchase....  ;)
