Black Sabbath-the wizard
J. Geils Band-whammer jammer
Family-Old songs new songs
John Mayall and the bluesbreakers-room to move
Neil Young-heart of gold
Stevie Wonder-Fingertips pt.2 (others by Stevie too)
I saw Manuel perform in Philly a few years ago. He was very good. I'm not too big into the electronic side of things with a few exceptions. I think the first Ash ra Tempel album is really great. I've always sort of somewhat jokingly said that on side one they invented heavy metal and on side two...
I have a lot but I'll only list about a dozen or so of my favorites:
Yes
Rush
Camel
VDGG (Van der Graaf Generator)
Pink Floyd
Genesis
Gentle Giant
ELP
The Flower Kings
Kansas
Porcupine Tree
Jethro Tull
Bob Segar
George Therogood (although I do like the song "one bourbon, one scotch, one beer.")
Most hair metal and certain other cheesy sounding eighties bands
I have grown to like these guys over the years a bit:
Tom Petty
John (Cougar) Mellencamp
Somehow I got into Bruce...
My favorite is what would be called "progressive rock." Please see my thread on an introduction to progressive rock for more information and a detailed description on the genre.
I also like what I refer to as "album rock." This is a catch all term and maybe a bit vague but I like music that...
I'm not sure why this band has been posted here. I feel very strongly that DMB does not belong in the progressive rock forum. In what alternate universe is DMB considered prog? THey are a good band but they are not prog rock. I doubt any fan of prog would consider them as such either. Please...
For me anything by the Beatles.
A few others that come to mind:
Space Oddessey-David Bowie
Carry on wayward son-Kansas
More than a feeling-Boston
I've seen all good people-Yes
Anything by Rush you hear on the radio including spirit of radio :P
I am pretty much tired of hearing the same songs...
OK, I'm going to do this again only with one album per band this time:
1. ELP-same
2.Genesis- Selling England by the Pound
3. Kansas-leftoverture
4. Yes-Close to the Edge
5. Camel-snowgoose
6. King Crimson-Lark's tongues in Aspic
7. Jon Anderson-Olias of Sunhillow
8. Marillion-Clutching at...
I meant to include Soft Cell's "tainted love" but for some reason left it off. TOo bad it's only fifteen and not twenty. Oh well. I missed a few others too. Of course it depends on what country you live in. Someone on here included Golden Earring's "radar love" but that was a hit in the US and...
Tough one:
1.Frank Zappa- Valley Girl (technically his only "hit" so I don't see why this shouldn't count)
David Essex-Rock on (his only hit in the US)
Thomas Dolby-She blinded me with science
Edison Lighthouse-Love grows
5.Sugarloaf-Green Eyed Lady
Mason Williams-Classical Gas...
The Police
Steve Winwood
Marillion
Transatlantic
Van Halen (sure why not)
Chicago (only because I was going to see them for free but didn't go)
Led Zeppelin (will probably never happen obviously)
Pink Floyd (had a ticket in HS but didn't go...I didn't want to go by myself...I kick myself...
I'll give it a go:
Yes- Relayer
Genesis-Selling England by the pound
ELP-same
Camel-snowgoose
King Crimson-lark's tongues in aspic
Yes-Close to the Edge
Rush-Hemispheres
Genesis-A trick of the tail
Kansas-leftoverture

Tough to limit it to ten

The Who-The seeker; the song is over
Led Zeppelin-The Rover;tangerine;the battle of evermore
Rolling Stones-Sway;2000 light years from home
Yes-Southside of the sky; time and a word; don't kill the whale
Rush- The Trees; witch hunt; Turn the page
Beatles-Everybody's got...
Re: Rolling Stone Top Ten
Regarding Rush: Their first eight albums or so certainly were prog(ok maybe not the first two). If not what would you call them? They were very heavy but also very prog sounding from about the third album up through around Signals then they became more new wavish and...
If we count off stage stuff then we must include some of Keith Moon's tirades like when he blew up a toilet(possibly more than once). I think he drove a car into a swimming pool or something too. You could almost have a whole thread just about all the crazy stuff he has done. Then of course...
The Nice burning the american flag(not that I'm patriotic or anything but still it's pretty outrageous).
Keith Emerson(of the Nice and later ELP)throwing knives into his organ(the musical instrument ;) ).
Jimi Hendrix burning his guitar at Monterey music festival(circa 1967).
Pete Townshend...
