Rush, Floyd, Ponty, and Pat Metheny Group are all excellent. I'll choose the one that won't get many votes. Pat Metheny Group.


True, and I don't own that one but I see Lyle Mays is on it. Those two alone are worth hearing.

I'm surprised Animals isn't leading. I do have two Floyd albums on here though. They are worlds apart no? Ten years apart but they sound like two different bands. The Syd factor plus that decade in between I guess.

I've probably said this before on this site, but the video of that Live in Bloom concert is special. It was recorded in 2010, so the boys are getting up there but the character in Leonardo's voice is something. He sounded better in 2010 than 33 years earlier.

It one of those much talked about gems I get nothing out of, except for annoyance. There's a certain type of dramatic vocals in a lot of 1970's european prog, sometimes resembling rock opera that gets in the way of everything that I could potentially enjoy. Much like the female school of Janis Joplin, (or Eddie Vedder-inspired post-grunge yarling) I'm pleased to observe that it's a use of the male voice that's gone more or less extinct by now. I gave Forse le lucciole non si amano ... two stars (instead of just one), half acknowledging that I do hear the musical qualities, and that personal preference is part of my issues.

Back in the day(80's) I remember the girlfriend and I being frequent visitors to this pizza restaurant that had a juke box and "Purple Haze" was a common selection. I remember talking to a long haired guy who was going on and on about Jimi. Of course I'm nodding and agreeing.
When I finally did buy this record I of course knew like everyone how amazing Hendrix was, but it was the rhythm section that had me again nodding in approval.
And a story I never tire of is Mitch Mitchell giving Robert Wyatt his custom made drum kit because he felt Wyatt deserved better than he had. This was after Soft Machine opened for the trio. That tour would have been something to have seen.
