Yep. One of the most contradictory, infuriating, inane, childish and hatred band in history, at their best. If anything, they undermined the entire prog rock cult from within.

There is a lot of Gentle Giant stuff on Youtube, for those unfamiliar with the band. There's one with the drummer making funny faces that just has to be seen to be believed.

Several of the original members are now touring as "Three Friends"

Oh, and +1 for the person who mentioned Porcupine Tree. Been listening to them since "in absentia".

Nobody mentioned Rush or Jethro Tull, yet....two of my favorites.
 
Another huge prog rock fan here (have you noticed my nickname?) :)

=> P.F.M.

Those, who are not familiar with the Strawbs (British "progressive folk-rock" from the '70s), can check them out at YouTube.
Great stuff indeed. :worship:

My favorite album is "Hero and Heroine".

Sendler I recognise quite few names on your list :)
More prog rock the Chinese band Cold fairyland http://www.coldfairyland.com/ is worth a look if you like pipa and cello with some odd drum beats, their best music is dark and heavy.

I am another person who hasn't voluntarily listened to the radio in over 25 years, it never played much of interest and suffering the disc jerk, news interruptions and inane advertisements made the signal to noise ratio way too high.
