| One of the prog pioneers, art rock, psychedelia, John Wetton's first band I believe. Right up there with The Nice and Pink Floyd as pioneers. Great songwriting, influential stuff, legendary, but not on Prog Archives? Check the allmusic.com biography on these guys and a few other articles on Family, because I don't know how they got overlooked here. None of you have heard the album Music in a Doll's House? |

| Yeah, it's a mystery to me too they're not here! And I can say this even if Family is not on my TOP30 of prog bands. Music in a Doll's House ('68) is an amazing debut. Pioneers is a right word for them. Something like a mix of King Crimson, blues, psychedelia, Traffic, etc. Their later albums - with Wetton for example - I find quite boring. |
