Phil Manzanera - Diamond Head(1975): art rock/prog; Is art rock still alive?

It is in this music cave! Thanks Joe for hitting on some prime prog... all of Manzanera's stuff
has something of immense value, but Diamond
Head may be my favorite. An offshoot, 801, is good with Manz, ENO, some Roxy Music mates and Simon Phillips on drums, etc... the Live being one of the greatest achievements that I've heard. Opening up with the Beatles TNK, it proceeds to go where few proggers have... amazing stuff... big Kudos.

Duane Allman's Big Box, Skydog. There is so much material here, one could cherry pick for many nights not repeating one song. Otis Rush, Aretha Franklin, Boz Scaggs, King Curtis... this is prime R & B from the late 60's with that distinct style only Duane Allman could cut, bottleneck and some great stinging leads.

This is actually really cool.. Lemmy , Dio, & Alice all have highlights, but there is a bunch of pretty rockin ,awesome, stuff on this.
