lovecraft
but with Spirit, and Jefferson Airplane coming up, this will likely change : Love the Fudge and Touch also ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

not very much bands to choose from ;) I make a decision for Vanille Fudge, though they sound more than dated today. ------------- good morning starshine how are you? |

For me Vanilla Fudge: very dynamic and varied sound (blues, rock, soul, jazz, classic), Uriah Heep, Yes and Deep Purple have pointed at Vanilla Fudge (the name is derived from an ice-cream) as an important source of inspiration. I love the omnipresent Hammond B3 organ sound, the fiery electric guitar and the distinctive soulful vocals, I hope their 2-live LP will be released on CD |

I think Vanilla Fudge is important as a proto-prog band, but my vote goes for HP Lovecraft. It's relatively an obscure band and I think everybody should give it a try; it might not have so obvious prog elements as VF, but they are quite versatile and their musicianship is really good. -------------
