Druid.

Their first album, Towards the Sun is excellent, and the second, Fluid Druid isn't bad either. Very influenced by (but NOT a clone of) Yes. More melodic, less complex but incredibly relaxing - a bit like Yes with a bit of Camel added. Sadly, their third album (apparently to be called Newfoundland) was never released as punk (ie sh*te) arrived to drive prog out of fashion.

Their drummer (Cedric Sharpley) ended up in Tubeway Army and the keyboards man (Andy McCrorie-Shand ended up as...............composer for The Teletubbies!!!! What happened to guitarist and singer Dane (Stevens) and bassist Neil Brewer is not known to me, at least.

Mmmh... I agree with almost everybody but I like to add bands like Neuscwenstein, Kyrie Eleison (mid '70s - one LP each one), Morte Macabre (an experimental fusion with members of Landberk and Anekdoten) and Mugen, a great japanese symph prog band...

But who hear would really care to hear another "Civilian" or "Giant For A Day".

If a band has run out of steam, let them go.



I know what you mean, but the last Gentle Giant-albums aren't that bad as everybody says I think (alltough GG lost their style a little bit). For example I love the "Spooky Boogie", "Words from the wise", "Two weeks in spain" or "Winning".

I would be soooooooo glad to see the giants back on stage, but I know this won't happen...



GENTLE GIANT IS THE BEST BAND EVER!!!

Comus (First Utterance era and style)
Anglagard
Keef Hartley Band (they did about 6 or 7 albums, but they had a few more in them, plus I'd love to see them now, but Gary Thain is dead, so that can't happen).
Fleetwood Mac (with Peter Green and Danny Kirwan)
Duster Bennett (his death in 1976 at the age of 30 was premature, he was just becoming even greater than he already was, he could have made it)
King Crimson (Lark's Tongues era)
Colosseum (yes I know they reformed a few years back, but now Dick Heckstall-Smith has died, they are no more.

Allman Brothers Band (with Duane Allman and Berry Oakley - R.I.P.)
Derek and the Dominoes (with Duane Allman R.I.P.)

One more: Bonzo Dog Doodah Band - There's always room for irreverant humour.
