I think Genesis is underrated on this site. Them, or perhaps King Crimson. Sadly undervalued here.

Steve. There is a reason why Galahad are not as well known, or successful, as Marillion, Pendragon, IQ.

It is because they were good, but not as good.

Oh, gee.

Imediatly the name Secos & Molhados and Marco Antonio Araujo came in my mind, the first are being evaluated by the folk team I guess to be added in PA - although i believe they are crossover.

But there's also a band I like a lot, Fuchsia.

Osanna would be the one band that everyone knows but has few reviews of their albums.

I will eventually remeber another names to put here.
