I hope it's OK to start a discussion on other musical tastes and bands we like outside of prog? Maybe we have some 'sleletons in our cupboard' that we prefer to keep to ourselves in fear of being ridiculed by fellow prog lovers. Well I'm going to be brave & name some of mine Human League-'Dare'. The classic 'electronic disco' album. Seen 'em on tour too! Simple Minds-'Good News From The Next World' & 'Glittering Prize'-Seen these live too. A great band! Tears For Fears-I like all their albums. Temptations-'Masterpiece.' I call this 'progressive' soul! Neil Diamond-'Jonathon Livingstone Seagull'. A brilliant soundtrack but havn't seen the movie! The Sweet-Call 'em bubblegum rock or pop but I grew up listening to this band! OK, I can hear the word 'blasphemy' being yelled in my ears already so I'm gonna stop

There's an honest man - I like his very early stuff and his reborn rock (and I don't mean the Christianity stuff). |

Are you kidding, Dick?? No offence old chap, but I thought only elderley women listerned to Clifford Richard. When I was a kid my dad told me not to trust any man who says he says he likes Cliff Richard. I didn't know what he meant at the time, and perhaps he shouldn't have said that, as I've grown up with an irrational fear of weddings and personal stereos..

Some of the music I listen to other than Prog: Smashing Pumpkins, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, David Bowie, Lou Reed, Patti Smith, PJ Harvey, Cold Play, Annie Lennox, Faithless, Dido and many others, including 80's New Wave and Punk and 90's first wave Grunge - Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Mudhoney, I Mother Earth etc Also Classical music - Bach, Brahms, Shostakovich, Grieg, Stravinsky, Mozart, Vivaldi etc Jazz/Blues - Sarah Vaughn, Peggy Lee, Nina Simone, Billy Holliday, Dave Brubeck, Jaques Loussier etc. I have a very eclectic taste in music and the above barely touches on my preferences and huge collection of music and styles. However, Prog has always been a firm favourite - cheers
