Listen to their early stuff like On The Sunday of Life or Signify.  Those are probably the albums he was reffering to.

Maybe so, but WHY is it boring...?

My opinion and observations of the music are in my review, but really there seems to be little that is progressive about Lightbulb Sun - it's a nice rock album, though. I'm open to persuasion otherwise, as ever...

No-one's mentioned Mahavishnu Orchestra, Twelfth Night or Amon Duul II???

Check these bands out as a matter of urgency!

Check out their earlier stuff!!!!!!!

I think they got into progarchives primarily on the basis of albums like On the Sunday of Life, Up the Downstair and Signify.  That's why they're listed as psychadelic rock.  I love Lightbulb Sun, but I also agree that it only borders on prog.  The same could be said of their other newer albums.

Can't agree more with Richardh about the Swdish bands, probably the most symphonic group of talented musicians I ever heard.

Just add Anekdoten to complete the list, their debut album VEMOD is simply outstanding.

Iván

Ivan`s right definitely check this one out before you go bankrupt. You might want to check out a Hungarian band called omega but just the stuf from the 70`s.

 I was thinking of picking up some Amon Duul II. My only worry is the singer doesn't speak english. Can someone tell me if she sings in english or german?

 

Oh...check out Henry Cow for something a little different. My favorite is Van der Graaf Generator and Peter Hammill. Those are of course good suggestions as well.

Does the singer of Amon Duul II  speak english?....yes or no? If no I will not buy. That is just how I am. I like to understand what is being sung. When I cannot, it takes away from the experience.
