Always hard to name the most of what you listen to, guess it`s not going to be a dig surprise for you all, but i will star my top 5 with Rush ) the band that i do listen to a lot, collecting almost all their bootleg recordings, the band that influenced on me a lot. The second one i guess it`s a PFM, the band that opened to me an RPI scene, really do love this band, but only their 70s stuff and i guess italian versions )) Third one is Czeslaw Niemen, polish artist that made great prog\psych\art stuff in late 60s mid 70s, his records are so amazing, can`t say what i love more, Rush or Niemen, but i guess both of them made a huge influence on me as a musician. Next one is no surprise )) it`s Porcupine Tree, always been a 60-70s guy, but this band made me discover new sounds in modern prog rock scene, so thnaks to mr. Wilson ))) and the last one for this list will Anekdoten )) what can i say, depressive, cold atmospheric stuff, that`s what i like, and this bands has everything that i do like from 70s to modern sound music )
My list in order:
RUSH
PFM
Czeslaw Niemen
Porcupine Tree
Anekdoten

Thank you for your time )))
