Hammill. his masterpiece "The Fall of the House of Usher". on the other
hand: save that for later; anything else will sound shallow after this

Realising that those bands have released sometimes quite different works: Yes- Fragile, the Yes album& Time&Word Zappa - Roxy&Elsewhere, Apostrophe&overnite sensation Colloseum - I'd at least recommend Valentyne Suite, as that's the only one I know, but it roxx0rz. Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick& Benefit. Now honestly, except Colloseum&Zappa, I don't like all of these bands too much as they don't quite realize what some other bands have established. I recommend the first album up till Interview from GentleGiant. It fits right into the Genesis/KC/vdGG group.  ------------- Epic. |

I'm warning you, with most of those you're going to be terribly dissappointed! ------------- Epic. |

MAGMA. You've listened to some mainstream prog bands and some
slightly more edgy ones - now it's time for a real challenge. |

Hammill can be quite a challenge too. "Loops and Reels", for example.
Or "The Fall of the House of Usher", "The Appointed Hour", "The Union
Chapel Concert" and "Spur of the Moment". Suppose he started with
"Loops and Reels"; he would get a completely wrong impression of
Hammill.

That will be some task if Zappa is the one you choose...or any of them really. But, Zappa has the largest catalogue i believe of those. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

Hammill comes close though with 40+ solo albums.

Ok,so since no other recommendations appeared,I have decided to start Yes,then maybe Hammill... "Yes" (1969) is a dissapointment... -------------

^^^It will be, as possibly Time & A Word will also be...you need to get straight on to 'The Yes Album' for the true rewards to start! If you tried some Marillion from their debut album, you definitely won't be disappointed!!! ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.
