Nice picks. I got into Wishbone Ash a bit late myself. Sometime in the eighties, to be exact. Well, better late than never.

All Progressivo Italiano bands. And probably VdGG because I really never understood them 'till about two years ago.

^ I can't think about all my missed opportunities. It's too depressing!

If I may add 2 more :
To me, Chicago were just some 'old fogey's' brass band, until they popped up here at P.A. I was truly dumb-founded as to how/why were they included...... Now, they are AMAZING. I thought 'this dude' Peter Cetera was their cheezy, commercial frontman vocalist, I did not know he played bass as well, and as it turns out, quite adept at it, technically and melodically. Great bass player, no doubt. And drummer Danny Seraphine is also a knock-out. Even guitarist Terry Kath amazes. Then the wind-players are accomplished and keyboarder Robert Lamm, though not much of a 'soloist', is very tasteful. I assumed he just played 'plinky-plonky' piano ditties. Oh, how wrong I was........
Also, Wishbone Ash were a band I heard of (mainly for Iron Maiden's bassist's love for them) since the 80's. I never bothered because there were 'no keyboards'. They appeared here at P.A., I got to see Turner's version of the band, now I'm converted.
And really, I wouldn't make an album purchase these days if it weren't for this trusty site.
In the pre-PA days, I was going off instinct and the Gibraltar Encyclopaedia Of Progressive Rock, which opened many doors...............the rest is history.
Many grateful Thanks for the existence of Progarchives.
