Definitely. I don't think a single one will be too much of a blowout like some of the first ones.

^ with ELP.. a blow-out is always a possibility. I have made inroads building the ELP army back up to the early days of the site.. but still a LONG way to go hahhaha.

Yeah, I agree. I really like Moonmadness alot and I like some of their other stuff decently too, but I agree completely. Magma didn't click fully on me until a few weeks ago, and I've been listening to them so often since. The music is completely brilliant. They really need to print a Kobaian dictionary so I can learn all of the words, haha.

Magma grabbed me hook line and sinker from the the listen.. of the first album... but I started with the album to start with. The debut album Kobaia. God .. I will be buried with that album.

I actually heard the debut first too, a few months back, and I loved it. But for some reason, I listened to 1001 Centigrades, thought it was okay, then heard MDK, and I didn't really know what to think. Because I've been getting into so much music lately, they just kinda disappeared out of my listening habits...but they're easily becoming one of my favorite bands ever already now and MDK is one of my favorite albums.

the only one that really grabbed me off of 1001 was 'Iss' and that mainly for the live version on the Live at Bruxelles 1971 album. wow... much better than the studio version.

Even though both have awesome and regrettable addtions to their
discographies, there's absolutely no doubt in my my mind that Yes is
the vote

Thank you, God of Rock, for this chance to kick ass

I'm not able to completely understand Gentle Giant, so I have to go with Yes despite Jon's vocals.

I really do like Yes, but Gentle Giant is something else... second favourite classic prog band behind KC
