What about this one?  Golden Earing - Seven Tears. ( 1971 )  Really good album, their hit She Flies On Strange Wings is one of their classic songs. Seven Tears is a very varied, almost eclectic album which has more than enough stuff for people who visit this site. Big%20smile

         The Golden Earring and Eclectic Prog, Dutch Tony, that sounds wonderful Approve

Golden Earring is a Dutch Hard rock/pop/Heavy metal group that was founded in 1961 in The Hague as the Golden Earrings (the 's' was later dropped).
 
This is my favorite album:

I know of Halsall from Tempest.

Erik, I haven't heard a lot of The Tubes but i do have one album called Inside Out I think. I must admit it's far more mainstream Rock than I would have imagined them to have been. I bought it because I really liked the song She's a Beauty.
 
The eponymous Patto album is an excellent example of progressive music/underground music experimenting but not quite sure whether to take the heavy rock or  prog rock paths. A real melting pot of ideas musically, from free jazz to blues to rock to folk thrown in and tried out. But of course Patto brought something from their previous existence as Timebox. Love their second album but but you can hear them settling into a musical groove - perhaps aiming to compete with Rod Stewart & The Faces. Mentioned it before, but over the last year it has been revealed that Ollie Halsall auditioned for Allan Holdsworth's guitar seat on Soft Machine (along with Brian Godding), to lose out to John Etheridge.  Alas Jenkins and Ratledge didn't have similar senses of humour......
 
Soft Machine with Ollie Halsall, now that would have been interesting!

Kings X have been discussed for inclusion here I believe in the past but haven't made it as yet. Nevertheless, a great band in the Heavy Rock vein with Psychedelic influences and nice Beatles style harmonies,,,,,,and just a hint of Prog. Their debut is a good place to start titled Out of the Silent Planet.

I had Brainbox in mind to write about but to my surprise I notice that they are added to Prog Archives as Proto-Prog, well, it's a Dutch band so OK and now we go for Flairck, The Nits and Golden Earring Wink

Golden Earing would indeed be a longshot.

Have a listen to a band called Landscape. Great electric and at times even funky stuff from the 80's. The bass player later went on to write the theme tune for The Bill
Would you like to watch TV, or get between the sheets, or contemplate the silent freeway, would you like something to eat?
