A-M or N-Z bands?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   A silly topic, but nonetheless I thought of it. So, If you could only 

listen to prog bands from the first half of the alphabet (A-M) or 

from the second (N-Z) which would it be? . 

A-B prog highlights (for me): 

Camel 

Caravan 

ELP 

Genesis 

Gentle Giant 

Gong 

Jethro Tull 

Kansas 

King Crimson 

Mahavishnu Orchestra 

Marillion 

Mars Volta 

N-Z prog highlights: 

Mike Oldfield 

Phish 

Pink Floyd 

PFM 

Rush 

Supertramp 

Tool 

UK 

Van Der Graaf Generator 

Yes 

Frank Zappa 

Though Rush is my favorite band, I would chose A-M, because 

of King Crimson, Genesis, and Camel, mainly

	For Pink Floyd, Yes, Porcupine Tree, Frank Zappa, VDGG, I think that the second half wins!

	For Yes, Van Der Graaf Generator,Pink Floyd,Rush,Pain of Salvation and Psychotic Waltz N-Z wins, but it's a very narrow win. One Little Victory.

	A - M would allow Magma, Guapo, King Crimson, Henry Cow, Can, Faust and Gong. I'd miss out on VDGG, but I'd still get Hammill, so A - M it is!

	A-M, with hotspots G and H (where in fact a huge part of our collection is located - Gong, Gentle Giant, Genesis, Gryphon, Guru Guru, Greenslade, Peter Hammill, Steve Hackett, Hawkwind, Hatfield and the North, Henry Cow, to name just the major ones). Hammill and Hawkwind together make up almost 10% of our collection.

	Ohhh, difficult. A-M have Brand X, King Crimson, Dream Theater, Genesis, Gentle Giant etc. But N-Z have Zappa, Supertramp, Symphony X, Van Der Graaf Generator, Pink Floyd etc!! I seriously can't decide!!

	Very hard to choose, but I voted for A-M because of King Crimson, Genesis and (Fish-era) Marillion.

	Things are getting curiouser and curiouser Well, A-M, I suppose. Oldfield, Pink Floyd, PFM, UK, VdGG, Yes aren't strong enough to beat Camel, Caravan, ELP, Genesis, Gentle Giant, Jethro Tull, King Crimson. 7-6

	While N-Z has some of my favorites Yes, Pink Floyd and So on, A-M has many more bands that I like. Jethro Tull, Gentle Giant, King Crimson so my vote goes to A-M.
