Evidently we don't really see eye to eye on most music related matters...

I was sure here is a five page list, which I could spend my whole day on. Well...

Amon Düül (in all incarnations) - I have only heard "Phallus Dei" by Amon Düül 2, which I truly liked. I'm working on checking the rest of them, as I have time.
Ash Ra Tempel - Their freeform psychedelic improvisations are my absolute favourites!
ELP - Their 1st and "Pictures at an Exhibition" are suberb
Genesis - "Trespass" is my favourite, two next are also good.
Gentle Giant - I have "Octopus", but somehow it didn't sound very special to me as I listened it thorugh. But I was young then, I should listen it again.
Greenslade - Their 1st album goes for the five stars! Others sound more or less little boring to me.
Hawkwind - Some are classic albums, some are terrible ****.
Jade Warrior -  "Released" is my favourite of them. I have their 70's material only.
Jethro Tull - "Agualung" is my favourite, and all from 60's.
King Crimson - 72-74  80's albums are also great.
Pink Floyd - Material done with Syd + early non-studio materials before "Meddle". "Animals" is also good album.
Tangerine Dream - "Rubycon" is my favourite, I have tried the others, but they didn't feel as good as it...
Van der Graaf Generator - I like their 70's albums, "Godbluff" being my favourite-
Yes - Anything up to 1976

Patrick Moraz: don't like his solo stuff very much

Ozric Tentacles, Tangerine Dream: can't get into them yet

Queen: I like them a bit, not much

The Residents: they made some pretty good stuff; don't like everything

Vangelis: I like some albums a lot, some leave me indifferent

GTR: a few good tunes, for the rest very commercial stuff

Olias of Sunhillow, Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman, Howe,  Aphrodite's Child, Peter Blegvad, Brand X, Camel, Caravan, Curved Air, Earthworks, ELP, Focus, Robert Fripp, Peter Gabriel, Genesis, Gentle Giant, Gong, Gryphon, Steve Hackett, Peter Hammill, Hatfield and the North, Hoelderlin, Jethro Tull, Eddie Jobson, King Crimson, National Health, Nektar, Pink Floyd, Mike Oldfield, Return to Forever, Soft Machine, Traffic, UK, Van der Graaf Generator, Wakeman, Rick (only a few albums, indeed), Robert Wyatt, Yes:

You should listen to some Opeth, if Metal ends at Black Sabbath for you.

Darn, I copied and pasted, and he was last in the list, I missed him. Of course we have Zappa! Thanks for telling me of the omission!

You're welcome.

BTW: Your collection really lacks Keneally ... it even rhymes.

Read again. I said at the beginning that, unless noted otherwise, we have ALL of the albums of the listed artists.

Fantastic.  I like very technical and jammy music, but not too meandering, and groovy or funky.  I'm a fan of solos and very tight melody, and excellent drumming (I'm a drummer).  I hope I'm not being too vague here.

I'm a drummer too. Let's shake hands! Gilgamesh or In Cahoots could be bands for you; also Soft Head and Soft Heap. That is if you like your drumming jazzy. If you like it more rocky, some early Guru Guru, like "Hinten" or "Känguru" would be excellent for you.

By the way, who is your preferred drummer?
