The major ones have been
Banco del Mutuo Soccorso
Quella Vecchias Locanda
Camel (though I'm still unconvinced)
Gentle Giant
Porcupine Tree
Glass Hammer
The Flower Kings
PFM
The last four fairly obsessively I have to admit....
And also Garion made me listen to Kansas' reunion album 'Somewhere to
Elsewhere' which I was really dubious about and now I adore and
Proto-Kaw. Top man!

Machine & The Synergetic Nuts - when I first heard their debut album I thought me! How come I've never even heard of them?

I've heard about almost all of the bands youv'e mentiond, But I havn't listend to many of them.
A band, which I never heard ANYTHING about at all, which I discoverd entering random names os PA, is 7For4.
They are truly a great band and they even have a sample here on PA. RECOMMENDED.

I've got two Gentle Giant and King Crimson. My dad had most of the gentle giant cd's but i never listened to them until a kept seeing trouserpresses obsession with them. King Crimson i just got into because everyone kept talking about the song red and such so I burned one of there cd's and I cant stop listening to them

I've had heard of Amon Düül II before but never heard their music before founding this site. (I don't remember how I found it, must been a year since.) Today they are second almost only to Genesis on my list.

VDGG and Dün.
Followed very closely by a myriad of others.
Edit: Oh wait, I forgot Samla Mammas Manna, and Taal, and...
''Your favorite'' posts are my bane, I could list bands and songs for years and not get close to an end.
