Fuzz-tone guitar leads....likewise.

Rickenbacker bass guitars.....ditto.  

Melodic, moving vocals, either male or female....preferred, but I also love instrumental jazz-rock etc. 

Competent, even virtuoso, percussion is essential.  Broof? 

Everything else is negotiable.  I know good music when I hear it. 



Could you please give some examples of what you consider fuzz-tone guitar leads?

What if you found out that the bass guitar used on an album you love, that you were 100% certain was a Rickenbacker®, turns out to actually be a different brand? Would it take anything away from your enjoyment, Cstack?

I do have fairly eclectic tastes but I do consider myself a big proghead.  I certainly know that I’d be wasting my time searching out anything I like in Soul, Hip-Hop, Funk, Drill, Thrash Metal,  Soul, Reggae etc
  That is not musical snobbery.  It’s just that it’s not the sort of thing that I like.

Chuck a load of synths at me with some great bass playing and technical accomplished drumming and I'm happy. Not bothered about vocals. So I have described Eloy of course but then they have a 'template' I really love and would like to hear repeated as much as possible. 
I'm not interested in avant, generally find metal boring along with blues and most hard rock. The keyboard is where it's at for me. I only love The Stranglers for Dave Greenfield. Take him out and it's nothing as far as I'm concerned. That said there are some predominantly guitar bands that float my boat, especially Rush so it's not a rule by any means (but if they hadn't made those almost keyboardy Permanent Waves - Grace Under Pressure then I might not care as much). BTW Sky 2 has been mentioned (and I agree it's great) but then of course I love Francis Monkman so when he leaves it gets very uninteresting for me.
