Time for another Moonster vote for DRH Album Feature. The options this week are all from the 1980s.

Buggles - Adventures in Modern Recording
From 1981, this is the second and last Buggles album, released after the dissolution of the Drama line-up of Yes, before Downes joined Asia. Nice prog-related obscurity.

Midnight Oil - Diesel and Dust
From 1987, this is the biggest album by the best Australian band (IMO).

Boston - Third Stage
From 1986, this third Boston album had one huge hit, but the album as a whole is an under-known gem. It's still Boston's most "futuristic" sounding work.

Funkadelic - The Electric Spanking of War Babies
From 1981, this is the last true Parliament Funkadelic album - the end of an era. After this, Parliament fragmented in a dozen different projects. This is the only P-Funk album to feature Sly Stone.

I voted for Midnight Oil because I've always liked it and because I haven't heard it in a long time. My brother had it. I like the Boston album but I own it so I can listen to it whenever I want. I'd say it's maybe on par with "don't look back." Their first of course is the best as overplayed as it is(kind of like the first Cars album that way).

I picked Midnight Oil because I'm unfamiliar with it and I'm not thrilled with the other 3 choices.

It took me more time to decide to vote,,,because it would be a vote by discard,,,
I do not vote that way, an exception this time
I thought,,it would be my small tribute to
Brad Delp... fantastic singer
Even I think it s not a good álbum to me,,,,and considering I m big fan of their 2 first albums,,my vote goes to Boston.

Buggles and Midnight Oil,,what I ve heard just anecdotal,,, barely heard them,,and not interested at all and Funk and Funkadelic ,,no thanks.

I'd love to hear all four, however since I'm least familiar with the Funkadelic my vote goes there!

not interested at all and Funk and Funkadelic ,,no thanks.

I'm not a huge fan of Funkedelic (or Parliment Funkedelic), but if you are a lover of the electric guitar you owe it to yourself to listen to this track. I believe that urban legend has it that George Clinton told Eddie Hazel " envision the saddest thought possible, his mother's death, and use that vision as inspiration" This is what he played. Just beautiful!

I voted for Funkadelic because it most suits the spirit I had in mind when I created the concept of the DRH. In a selfish way, and it's my idea so there! haha

Midnight Oil is a great album, but I own it and have played it a lot. The other two albums are "meh" for me

I liked 'meh' concept,,cristal !!!
,,, all these albums are 'meh',,,as I said,, my small tribute to B Delp,,great singer,,my vote was basically that.
still always I ve been far away from funk,, even listening sometimes some nice things.
