Plenty! Dylan, The Band Neil Young, Bruce Cockburn, Bruce Springsteen, Richard Thompson, Roy Harper. Cold Chisel, Midnight Oil, U2... Springsteen is probably my favourite rock performer of all time. If you get the chance to hear any boots from his tour of 1978 don't hesitate. The perfect combination of folk, rock, jazz and (yes) prog. Just listen to what they did with "Prove It All Night" on that tour. Perfection. |

Apart from the prog genre, I like many different kinds of music : Jazz with world elements : Jan Garbarek, one of the most gifted saxophonist I know/ Pat Metheny and his subtile guitar phrase Folk : Richie Havens and his strong voice AOR : TOTO Vocal jazz : Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan Post-rock : the last Björk, Vespertine, a blend of ethereal music with sublime orchestrations and grandiose vocals, harp and discreet music boxes The Grateful dead : Terrapin' station is a true masterpiece Contemporary classical music : Claus Ogermann, Two concertos, a sublime record / Henryk Gorecki, Symphony n°3, a dark masterpiece / Zbigniew Preisner, Requiem for my friend, another sublime record / Wojciech Kilar, Warsaw to Hollywood (excellent film scores) / Mark O'Connor ( violonist for Dixie Dregs on 'Industry standard), Fanfare for the volunteer, sublime music for violin and orchestra / John Williams, music from Saving private Ryan (truly poignant) / Georges Enesco / Charles Koechlin, Oeuvres pour hautbois (one of the finest work for oboe ever produced) Polish pop (I am a native of Poland) : Czeslaw Niemen, Marek Grechuta Mainstream rock with a touch of proginess : Kevin Gilbert Stoner : Led Zeppelin, II, their best to my mind Shredders : Steve Vai, Passion and warfare, an absolute masterpiece / Eric Johnson, one of my favourite guitarists / Jeff Beck, There & back, his best record / Steve Morse, the best guitarist in the world That's all folks!! ------------- "Magma was the very first gothic rock band" (Didier Lockwood) |

| HMMMM: for me it would be..Led Zep...Deep Purple,Tool(dont like their bizarre filmclips though..even though they are in tune with the songs feel and sentiments...go figure) as a pianist i also enjoy classical piano works especially early 20th century composers such as bartok et al who started to inject more prominent jazz and blues chording and frasing into the traditional classical context |

Well there's plenty of bands I like, but one stands out from all the rest... Yes, the holy of holies... The best band of all time, one of those once in a lifetime bands that I will be remembering in forty years time... > Tool They are absolutely the best band out there... (in my opinion
What the? Their video clips are the best film clips out there... The interesting use of stop-motion animation by whichever one of the band members it is who makes them, Danny I think, is just another aspect of the depth and quality of Tool... A band that produces art, not music... I just can't say enough about them...

Geez.. Outside of Prog I like everything from Sarah McLachlan to Stevie Ray Vaughn to Brother Cane to The Rippingtons (if you get the chance to see them live don't pass it up) to Led Zep. It would probably take less time to list the acts that I don't like, though that list gets longer every day. |

I have 12 Steeleye Span discs in total (& really like them all!), and over 200 traditional/Celtic discs (not counting numerous MP3s) altogether (more than I have of Prog!), including one by WEDDINGS PARTIES ANYTHING (saw them live: Great!) from Australia. I really love the life-affirming beauty, power, and soul-stirring poetry of "trad." Check out some "Span" soon!

Date Posted: February 17 2004 at 03:28
This is one thing which has bothered me over the years - Robin Trower is one of the great unsung heroes of the guitar, but just because he has chosen in the past to use the same feel/sound as Hendrix, he gets labelled as a copyist. Nobody seems to have the same problem with the leagues of guitarists who over the years have copied Tony Iommi (another vastly under-rated guitarist); nobody complains that Clapton is a little derivative of past greats in his (undoubtedly great) blues works. What is it about Hendrix that makes people so protective of his sound........? -------------

| jim:good point!! it seems that when you reach the status of rock icon you become untouchable(here is a PERSONAL opinion, i have never held the likes of Van Morrisson or BB King in the same awe as they are in the rock world (just a tad overrated!!)) but as for Hendrix yes, he was probably the biggest single influence on rock guitar in history but from him others have fashioned their own sound and creativity.Sure Hendrix did Purple Rain voodoo child,Machine gun etc but Trower did the superb "bridge of Sighs" "Too rolling Stoned" etc Are they any less songs and musical compositions because they were not done by Hendrix? what do you think??? |

| My all time favorite band are Deep Purple. A band I am really into now are a British band called Mostly Autumn. They are a cross between, Purple and pink Floyd, with a bit of Folk thrown in. They are a 7 piece with an absolutely stunning singer (Heather Findlay). Just musically a fantastic group. |

I also love Mostly Autumn. I have a question: it seems that Classic Rock is trying seriously to promote it (lots of DVDs and live CDs, etc). Are they getting media attention in the UK? |
Posted By: Jim Garten
Date Posted: February 23 2004 at 03:28
I'm with you on this one, Mostly Autumn are a superb band & if the sampler of their new album (given away free with this month's 'Classic Rock') is anything to go by, this will be well worth the money. Also I cannot believe I missed this band in my earlier posting - the absolutely wonderful Allman Brothers were a band full of astounding musicians; a tragic loss when Duane Allman was killed @ 24 years old -------------

As mentioned above, they have a sampler in this months Classic rock magazine. I think some of the fans from Mostly Autumns web site are trying to promote the band by giving out flyers etc at other concerts and e-mailing radio stations but as for the press, well, I suppose MA full into the unfashionable music section and like most bands within this genre, don't really get noticed by the media. -------------

Pfff... hard to say... I think some stuff from 'Sad Wings Of Destiny' + 'Beyond The Realms Of Death' may be called prog, but most of the seventies-Priest music is 'just' high-quality heavy metal! Judas Priest, for me, is the ultimate crossover between Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, with a great singer. The first three eighties albums are ok, but the rest is kind of crappy... I thought 'Jugulator was a fine comeback, it sounded a little like Metallica or Megadeth. But I'll say it again: if you want superb heavy metal, check out seventies Judas Priest! |

Back to Mostly Autumn. I've heard a few tune, clips... But everytime I try to order a disc, it's not available. I'm going to Amazon.com. Which disc is the best? |
Posted By: StarshipTrooper
Date Posted: February 25 2004 at 19:45
If you want a best of.....then Catch The Spirit is a good double cd to have, though it doesn,t include anything from their latest album, Passengers. My personal favorite is The Last Bright Light. This one just about captures everything about the band. Honestly, there is not one track on there that I dislike. I feel the same about the other MA albums though....I think they are that good. Passengers, their latest album has a slight change of direction. you can still hear the Floyd influences and I think they have recently produced a new Live album, At The Opera House or something. Other than that, if you want some of their live material, then go for The Story So Far, which is also the title of the live dvd. Hope that helps If you cannot get what you want from amazon, try Mostly Autumns own web site. I think they have links in there regarding sales. -------------

Also, try 'Heroes Never Die, The Anthology' - this is a best of compilation, but instead of just raiding the old master tapes, they re-recorded all the tracks; this was the first album of theirs I got & it's a very good starting point. -------------
Jon Lord 1941 - 2012 |
Posted By: Paco Fox
Date Posted: February 26 2004 at 03:20
I agree The Last Bright Light is their best record. A compilation is a good starting point, though. It can be better, since, if you end up becoming a fan of the band, you get these new re-recorded versions plus a rare song before. It is annoying when a band gets out a compilation with a rare song, so you are forced to spend the money just for one track.

Alex: I agree with XTC, but think they should be included on the prog site. I've made my case for this elsewhere... Gonghobbit: Oregon reigns! They are among the greatest bands in any genre of any time period. I have almost everything they ever produced. Dude, Peter: Sorry, guys, Steeleye Span's biggest hit was "Stuck in the Middle With You," which went to #1 in 6 countries. Fave non-prog bands for me (not including XTC, 10CC, Babble, and Zappa, who all belong here), in alpha order: Allman Bros., Bowie, Doors, Dylan, Family, Grateful Dead, BJ, EJ, Led Zep, J. Mitchell, Police, Queen, Steely Dan, C. Stevens, U2. Peace. |

Oops, Maani! "Stuck in the Middle With You" wasn't Steeleye Span, it was the Gerry Rafferty project, Stealer's Wheel. (Not quite sure about the spelling.) I am a huge fan of Steeleye Span: they've never had a hit that big, thank goodness! ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh!

Peter - Do you have access to my record collection at all??? The Tubes Live album - splendid piece of '70s glitz; recorded at Hammersmith Odeon, London on the one show they played before being banned in London, due to the obscene antics of Quay Lude 
Nina Hagen "Ich Glotz TV"  I've got the original 7" vinyl single of that somewhere - didn't know she was an opera singer, though......

Richard/Peter: Although I didn't actually like them much, I actually saw The Tubes at The Beacon Theater in 1975. They were the craziest act I'd ever seen - and I'd seen some pretty crazy acts! (including Alex Harvey, Alice Cooper, and others). Got to have a beer with Quay (or is that "Mr. Lude?"...) after the show. He was actually a pretty neat, unexpectedly "normal" guy. Peace. |

My favorite non Prog band whilst growing up was Steppenwolf. John Kay's Growl, Goldie McJohn's hammond work was killer. Nick St. Nicholas on Bass, Jerry Edmonton slamming the Skins. THe only lead player I can remember was Mars Bonfire, but he only stuck around for a few albums. What about "Spirit" they came out with some pretty inspiring stuff. |

"Quay Lude's" (just a stage persona) real name (or at least band name) was/is Fee Waybill. He was a former roadie. Apparently somewhat of an extrovert on stage.... Thanks for the compliment Re the shades of the Moodies (get it? Blue lettering -- ain't I the clever one?) Regarding the problems with sending me Private Messages (which can be handy), I had put you on my "Buddies List" (you were the first), but the "status" part always indicated that you could not contact me. I may have done it wrong, though, because I have just now deleted then re-added your name, and now the computer indicates that you can message me!

Hi Maani! I'm jealous ("green" with envy, get it?) of all your classic concert-going experience, especially your beer with Fripp & Eno (I'll never top that, though my bro' in law once lived next-door to a (must have been distant) cousin of Bill Bruford's, who after vounteering that yes, she was related to her famous namesake, said "I think he's in a band called "Yes" or something. Are they any good?"
DUHHH! True story, & my brush with prog greatness, such as it is.... I did shake Victor Wooten's hand, however. Oh well...
on my Amon Duul II review. I'm going to write some shorter reviews of beloved classics over the next few days. I may not churn them out like a certain Mr. Ronnquist (? spelling -- who apparently either employs a large staff, or has hundreds of previously-written reviews waiting in his computer; the man must listen to music even more than I do, some 36 hours a day, eight days a week!), but I intend to thus increase my output. The longer reviews can be exhausting to write, & perhaps (perish the thought!) somewhat of a chore for some to read. I will still write the longer pieces as occasion and album dictate, however.
in the AD2 song, yes, I could see that (with that song, although the band's sound is very diverse, overall), especially in the mellotron and sweeping synth. Thanks for checking them out!

Katatonia is really nice to listen to, but not too long, I have their album 'Viva Emptiness' and it's not this kind of "this is no music to me" Death Metal
And I have ALL 'My Dying Bride' albums, because I was a fan before I became a prog fan...really melancolic...

| I enjoy a lot of music that isnt prog, theres this one reggae album that i heard and forgot the name, and i havent heard it since. disheartening. But my all time favourite non-prog artist is Tom Waits, awesome. |

Hey Asuma you should check out The Villians. A great ska band. As a matter of fact, the most energetic ska band I have ever seen, and I have seen one, . Seriously, they are a great band. They do a killer cover of Wolly Bully.

| My favorite non-prog band has to be Led Zeppelin. They are the only band other than Rush that I can honestly say I like ALL their songs. No other band comes close to my love of Led Zeppelin or Rush. |

I read that too. If you listen to their debut album, you can definitely hear Zeppelin's influence. |

Right now I'm taken a closer look to the Doors. I find pretty interesting the sound of the electric piano, if I'm not wrong it was defined as pshicodelic in it's times. ------------- Please forgive me for my crappy english! |
