Pink Floyd? Granted they changed from the initial Syd psychedelic sound but I would contend that all their albums from Meddle onwards are pretty similar.

fact is, very few

The sound is usually down to the equipment being used and very few bands just change their instruments or rig that often. The ever evolving style thing is a myth of progressive rock although Gentle Giant came as close to anyone. Their albums between 1973 and 1975 are all very different to me.

Joke suggestions are Genesis , Rush and Tull

King Crimson were never a traditional band and had a lot of line up changes that inevitably changed the sound , same with Yes to a lessor extent.

ELP don't get many mentions , but there are major differences in sound crossing from the classically eclectic debut in 1970 , the electronic approach of BSS in 1973 and then the more acoustic based Works Volume One 1977. Love Beach in 1978 , ELPowell in 86 and Black Moon in 82 also all sound very different. Mostly it was the same line up so some credit is due to them for attempting to evolve.

music media coined the term NWOBHM in 1979. So how is UFO NWOBHM in 1977?Wacko

They weren’t. They could, however, be fairly described as a band who had a massive influence on those bands which were.

I just said the same thing a few posts above...

UFO? Well I know they started off a bit space rock but I don't think they changed their sound much once they settled down into a rock groove.
space-rock, hard-rock, NWOBHM.

UFO were never NWOBHM, they were an influence on many NWOBHM bands, that's true.

Lol, Hello, AFlowerKingCrimson, Boboulo and FatherChristmas! I normally reserve my comments for Psychedelic Paul’s threads, but just want to share with you the fact that your comical banter amused me greatly. When you talked about “Bands That Change Their Sound Often,” referencing Jethro Tull, Yes and Genesis, saying Genesis did Prog, Pop, and maybe Prog-Pop, that made me smile. 😊 Then the dialogue between the three of you, when Boboulo said Family, and AFlowerKingCrimson (whose name is as hard as mine to write multiple times) said “you’re not going to list six Family songs on six different posts, are you?” And as he rattled off bands, I had to laugh. And when AFlowerKingCrimson said “don’t give him ideas.” Then FatherChristmas called Boboulo “Svetobobo,” and said he had other tricks up his sleeve. And Boboulo carried on naming bands, I said to myself, this is the kind of innocent quibbling that makes this site so rich. So enjoyable. Humor is so important, and when you share a passion, music, or otherwise, a little friendly verbal jousting is all part of it. It’s the personal digs and antagonism that irks me. But gentlemen, I’m glad I came to see “wuzzup,” on this thread. Carry on!! FloydianPinkRose. 👍😊



I wasn't the one who said don't give him ideas. Anyway, it's fun to a point but with someone like this it's just annoying and at some point it becomes obvious that he's just trying to test the waters here to see how far he can go. He probably won't last long under this name. We all know who he is. He's like the little kid trying to reach for the cookie after you told him not to.



Hey, AFlowerKingCrimson, never did one of these quotes before ... hope I did it right. Argh!! Sorry, it was FatherChristmas who said that about giving him the idea. And your reply made me smile too. 😊👍.   FloydianPinkRose

I called him Svetobobo as his old name was Svetonio, but then he got banned for trolling (several times, I believe). Quite a funny guy but sadly he takes himself seriously, it seems.
