For this next EPL, I'm asking you to help me choose between 5 solo albums by members of epic prog bands. 

Bill Bruford (Yes, King Crimson, Genesis)Anthony Philips (Genesis)Patrick Moraz (Yes)Steve Hackett (Genesis)Jon Anderson (Yes)

Pick your favorite! The voting ends on Monday the 15th!

Comments

Sid Levy

How do you just pick one?! Aaahhhhh

George Davis-Stewart

For me, it's Bill B. every time. Whatever area of music making he has visited, he always invites you along. I'd guess that many people already know what's coming with Steve Hackett; although I have only the vaguest notion of that I'd still prefer to have Bruford on the airwaves - I reckon he needs the publicity a little more.

Gary Thobaben

So many good choices. I picked Ant because he’s so often forgotten about.

Claudio Fernandes

You'd be surprised with Bruford's solo work, Doug!

Estefanía Sucre

I hope we can get to all of these albums at some point. For me, choosing between Spectral Mornings, The Geese and the Ghost and One of a Kind was really hard!

Martin Broten

I'd love "one of a kind". What a great band with Bruford & Holdsworth along with Jeff Berlin & Dave Stewart.

Bill Coonley

All good choices, but I'm still hoping to her Doug's reaction to Patrick Moraz! I know he has a copy, because I mailed him one!

Guitar Channel

Bill Bruford's solo band was essentially a Supergroup with great compositional contributions from Dave Stewart (Egg, Hatfield & the North, National Health). Love Hackett's 'Spectral Mornings' too.

Jim Reeves

Indeed a tough choice, I voted, but would prefer a EPL for Shawn Phillips' "Collaboration".

Illume Eltanin

I always love Anderson, but for this one the Brazilian sounds of Moraz wins all the way. Plus I love the concept story of the album.

Neale Brassell

The Moraz album is amazing and unique... but nothing really tops Spectral Mornings, I'm afraid!

HeadStart

Hmm, Ant’s & Moraz’s offerings are freshman offerings. Both I hold in high regard. It would be nice to sample all of the offered artists on the merits of each of their primary outings. And 1000 Hands, kinda, feels like a capstone to Jon’s. That said, Bruford’s One Of A Kind, I think, is a collective extension of his careers after Yes, while Steve’s album places him on the musical path that he was on when Genesis answered his ad for a guitarist. So both should prove to be very informative/entertaining! But I think Spectral Mornings is the purest harbinger of any of their respective careers.

Walking the Path with Chris Ramsbottom

While I'm a Hackett fangirl, I voted for Ant Phillips as this album has the most adorably beautiful tracks on it. But for the omission of Tony Banks, it could have been a Genesis album as it has Collins and Gabriel on it (Hackett played on later tracks).

Make Latvanen

Bruford's first, "Feels Good To Me", is more than worth looking into at some later date. One of my forever faves, that one. "Story of i" is super-interesting and I'm happy to see it on the list. Pretty unique for its time; not perfect but very original and vibrant, not your "just another 70's prog album". Maybe later?

Phil Sparkes

Spectral Mornings is my pick. I’ve appreciated Steve’s solo work more over the past years.

Karl Stubsjoen

Steve Hackett, no question! Although the other albums are good, Steve’s album prevails.

Daniel Miller

Need to do an EPL episode on Jon's Friends of Mr. Cairo album with Vangelis.

John Baird

Very difficult to choose being a child of the 50’s and growing up with all the artists up for the choice, my favourite is Mr Moraz. The opening track is a stunner, right out of the Yes at their best bombast. Wonderful but so hard to single out. Keep up the difficult choices as it makes going back and listening to the albums that have not been a first choice for so long.👍

Rolling Ronnie

I absolutely love Spectral Mornings, but I've voted for Anthony Phillips as The Geese and The Ghost is an unsung gem and could easily be an early Genesis album (Mike and Phil both play on in).

Raiderblack

Anderson has several albums that I like better than 1000 Hands... Even though it's a fine album, You should do Olias or Song of Seven... Story of I is pretty amazing and Spectal Mornings is really good.

Richard

Love to see you do A Curious Feeling by Tony Banks.

Adie

Mike Rutherford's Smallcreep's Day is (I believe) an album of this type which is not often mentioned but well worth a listen.

Christopher Arters (relative timeworx - Mr.A)

Smallcreep is an absolute classic and is a great demonstration of Rutherford's contributions to Genesis' style and sound. "Turn It On Again" from Duke was built from tracks originally intended for the solo album. Simon Phillips on drums and Noel McCalla on vocals contribute stand out performances.

Adie

Thanks for the info - very interesting. My feeling has always been that Rutherford's contribution to Genesis was always underestimated.

Michel Paré

I love the spectral mornings for me its clear… The best solo album from hackett…the guitar solo on everyday is gorgeous !!!

Bill Oboczky

I was VERY conflicted by this poll! I do love Spectral Mornings and did vote for it, but all the albums listed are terrific! I felt especially bad about not voting for Ant Phillips, since he was a HUGE part of Genesis v1.0 and I feel he does not get nearly enough love...but G&G is not my favorite album by him.
