I only included Jeff Lynne for the ELO connection. Before I joined PA, I wouldn't have regarded Jeff Lynne or ELO as being remotely proggy. The same goes for Kate Bush, Miles Davis, Roxy Music, Talk Talk and many others, but I'm glad they're all here on Prog Archives. The more the merrier. Smile

that's just your opinion, don't try and pass it as a fact. 
Maybe it has something to do with me not being a fan of Ian Anderson's distinctive nasal twang. Wink

That makes me want to laugh, but I don't really dare. Ermm 
Good thinking. You might annoy Jethro Tull fans. At least it got Cristi's attention.  Wink

It's just the sheer joy and love of listening to and sharing good music, as well as listening to the 3000+ CD albums I have at home. It sure beats listening to the repetitive modern pop drivel played endlessly on Top 40  radio playlists.  Smile

Okay, thanks, I guessed that.
I managed to find 54 Gong album links out of 57 in total, but 54 out of 57 ain't bad - to paraphrase Meat Loaf. Smile
 
Addendum: I just remembered to add the 1995 Gongzilla album  too , so that makes 55 out of 58 album links found. Smile

While I don't always agree with your rating, as I've been very fond of this album for about 30 years:

3 stars 1975: Shamal Gong - Shamal

But you can maybe tell me something interesting about it. How come you call the band of this release "Shamal Gong"? 

I'd be surprised if anyone agrees with my ratings. Wink
