I'm so mad that you enjoy a certain combination of noises that I don't

I'm workin my way through stuff slowly but surely. Been really busy the past frew days so I haven't gotten to hear too much. So far from what I've listened to, Älgarnes Trädgård, Amon Düül ll, and Quella Vecchia Locandaare all very interesting listens. It's gonna take me forever to get through this list, but thanks again for all of the suggestions. Obviously, as always, Mahavishnu and Gentle Giant are great as is Kansas.
Keep 'em comin! I hope other people are enjoying the input here as much as I am. Cheers! |

Jean-Luc Ponty is a pretty gnarly violinist, and Spirogrya is good too if you enjoy the more folk side of prog.

Hi, if you want want more old- prog (60/70s), I second Quella Vecchia Locanda. There's also Dave Arbus from East of Eden. I'd recommend Mercator Projected, their fist album. It spans a lot of styles from an classical-inspired (Communion) to Jazz-Rock (Stable Of The Sphinx). The whole album has violin throughout. |

Gentle Giant had some good tunes with violins ("Funny Ways", "Black Cat", "Peel The Paint", "Dog's Life").

Quella Vecchia Locanda is superb. Both of their albums featured a very skilled violinist. Many samples on YT if you're interested in hearing them.

I wickedly stole this from Wicki while trying to find the spelling for Ed Alleyne-Johnson and he was top of the list. Bizarrely, he has no entry in his own right in Wicki (it must be as the result of vandalism). He gets a very full sound from the electric violin. Apparently, he was with a band called New Model Army, whom I know nothing about.

Wow, thanks for all of the suggestions everybody. I guess I have a quite a bit of listening to do! :D
There were a few bands like Mahavishnu, King Crimson, Kansas, and Kayo Dot that I think are awesome, but I definitely need to revisit their stuff. I'll keep everybody updated as I listen to everything.
I'll give everything a chance. My tastes fluctuate from day to day, so it's hard to say something specific. I will say though that my band has a lot of influence from 70s prog, so hearing some more of that and comparing it with some more modern stuff from various genres could prove very fun. I think with all the various suggestions I'll be able to do that pretty well. |

This woman, Rachael Barton-Pine, is a Chicago phenom! Check out her version of Ozzy Osborne's "Crazy Train," it starts about 2:00

Bands with violinists? I don't think so. A figment of your imagination for sure.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

There's a few obvious ones:
Horslips (Charles O'Connor) Fairport Convention (Dave Swarbrick, Ric Sanders) Eddie Jobson and all his associated bands (Curved Air, Roxy Music, UK, Tull) |
