It often varies, but I guess for me it looks something like this:

Helstar

A Distant Thunder and Burning Star are f**king nostalgic albums for me!!!!!

I'm surprised and glad to see them on here :)))))

Classical music isn't dead, it's more alive than it's ever been. It's just not on MTV.

I like how Mozart is randomly there, lol

I should have added Stravinsky.

When I first heard Rite of Spring I dubbed him the Heavy Metal of classical music

But classical music and metal coexist, both still innovating in the 21st century? Confused

Of course, but heavy metal was just a few years away ;) from existing when Stravinsky composed Rite of Spring

We all dwell in an amber subdomain, amber subdomain, amber subdomain.

My face IS a maserati

I'm assuming prog or prog related, right? In that case, again, in no particular order:

Genesis

King Crimson

Birds and Buildings

Anglagard

Opeth

Frank Zappa

Yes

Mahavishnu Orchestra

Anekdoten

Taal

But if we start talking beyond prog, that's gonna look very different.

As far as classical music goes for me, Mozart is in front and everyone else is waving at him in the rear-view mirror.

Tull definitely number 1. So many good extra stuff that missed albums. You can tell they we're trying to sound pop on the warchild and too old soundtracks. Would have been much better if they used their other tracks on those

All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

These are my all time favourite bands in chronological order in regards to when they formed:
The Beatles
The Kinks
Jethro Tull
King Crimson
Wishbone Ash
Focus
Gentle Giant
Horslips
Japan
The Cure
Skids
Simple Minds
Magazine
Echo and the Bunnymen
Big Country
The Armoury Show
Living Colour
Radiohead
Gorky's Zygotic Mynci
Mogwai
Arctic Monkeys

I took a few liberties.....21 instead of 10!

Presently, I am really getting into the Welsh band Gorky's Zygotic Mynci. Might have to suggest they get included into either Prog folk or Eclectic Prog. They are (were) amazing...pop tendencies with lots of Prog interspersed IMHO. Their 1997 album Barafundle is brilliant.

Anyone share my love of Gorky's Zygotic Mynci?
