Keyboards are what really pull prog together for me. Bands like Rush who do not utilize keyboards like other prog bands do tend to suffer in the absence of overall sound textures and layering. The lack of keyboards tend to make a band sound "thin" like a straight ahead hard rock band. Of course there are exceptions, but keyboards are what do it for me. I like a creative drumming style as well. I prefer bands that utilize their rhythm section in a almost jazz like fashion.

Well, yes. Silly we can be. Although I agree, Rutherford's double neck is way up there for me. But his original Rickenbacker double neck 12 string/bass would be the one. Alas, the Mellotron wins out!

Where the hell is the MANDOLIN!!!! It's the greatest instrument of all time regardless of genre. Tull uses the mandolin to great effect, in case you're wondering where it appears in prog. Also missing is the incredible ACCORDIAN!! Check out Uzva (and of course Tull) for some righteous accordian. Two instruments that have been woefully overlooked.

The Moog. The king of synths. I love it over my own instrument (bassguitar), and I don't even play it! LOL

So would I... Heck, I just realised I posted (and voted) twice, saying the same thing all over again. I suppose I'll have to delete one of the two!Wink

To Vince aka Tlossy: I wish I had your faith in proclaiming Myung as a great bassist, because I sure as hell can't hear him on most of the DT records I own!
