Rush and Yes are far above all others for me. Probably DT gets the third spot. Edit: Since I haven't pimped IZZ in a while, they will definitely occupy the third spot if they continue to put out records of the caliber of "My River Flows". P.S. for IZZheads: Laura Meade (hot brunette in my sig) has released a self-titled EP. |

Top three? Impossibel to say really. Rush (always going to be my number 1 no matter what) Camel King Crimson The last 2 vary a lot with a bunch of other bands. It usually depends on my mood and what I have been listening to for the past week. |

Very tough; if pressed I will probably name Van der Graaf Generator, Gong and Hawkwind. But Magma, Amon Düül 2, Embryo, King Crimson or Can are tough contenders, to just name a few. By the way, I only chose between bands with an output of 10 or more albums. That may not be fair towards newer bands, but they will have to prove themselves first, in my opinion. -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

Apologies in advance for preparing to list considerably more than three bands, but I don't have a top-three -- top ten, sure. Could do a top seven or so quite comfortably when utilising a multiple albums per band criterion. I'll follow BaldFriede's lead, and stick to bands with at least ten albums, not that that necessarily means I like ten of their albums, and this precludes listing several bands with favourite albums (for instance, Museo Rosenbach, Arachnoid, Dun, and Carpe Diem). Gentle Giant PFM Focus As an alternate three: Gryphon (okay, I'm allowing their boxsets/ compilations to make up the studio album difference) Magma (the most consistently good band of these for me both live and album-wise) Le Orme Or as an alternative alternate three: Banco del Mutuo Soccorso The Enid Maneige (including their live albums) My top-three bands since 1999 (discarding the ten album criteria): Taal Nil Discus ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |
