Southern Rock is my favourite genre after prog, so if I had to come up with a list of top 5 essential Southern Rock masterpieces, it'd probably look like this:
No weak tracks on any of them as far as I'm concerned, and they each contain some of their respective artists' greatest material, on top of the five being representative of the many different facets of the genre. |

I tend to love soundtracks and library music, and the maestro is Ennio Moricone for me. Too much good stufft to mention, but these are a few favourites. Most of these are at least prog related to my ears.
Ennio Morricone - Cosa Avete Fatto a Solange Egisto Macchi - Futurissimo Paul Giovanni - The Wicker Man Karl Heinz Schäfer - Les Gants Blancs Du Diable Vladimir Cosma - Patchwork Vol. 3 Piero Umiliani - La ragazza dalla pelle di luna Lots more... I'm actually bigger on this stuff than the vast majority of music in the archives. And just to mention since these were the soundtracks that got me collecting originally: Giorgio Moroder - Midnight Express Klaus Doldinger - Das Boot |

Love this idea
Minas, Milagree Dos Peixes, Milton, Geraes - (really anything by Milton Nascimento) Reves/Yosoy, Re, Avalancha De Exitos, Vale Callampa, Cuatro Caminos - Cafe Tacuba Nelson Angelo E Joyce Comme a la Radio - Bridgette Fontaine África Brasil, Força Bruta, Samba Esquema, A Tabua De Esmeralda - Jorge Ben First 4 albums from Laura Nyro Lo Borges' debut (done right after Clube da Esquina) Ryuichi Sakamoto's Thousand Knives COWBOY BEBOP CD-BOX Original Sound Track Limited Edition Serge Gainsbourg-Historie Karuki Zamen Kuri no Hana - Shiina Ringo (it IS progressive, just not on this site) Grande Liquidicao - Tom Ze Odessa - Bee Gee's Arthur Verocai - Arthur Verocai (what an album.. another one from Brazil) Tango: Zero Hour - Astor Piazzolla Caetano Veloso - Transa Construção - Chico Buarque Gris-Gris - Dr. John Chips From The Chocolate Fireball - The Dukes of Stratosphear Erasmo Carlos, Sonhos E Memorias - Erasmo Carlos Garra, Previsao, self-titled, (especially) Vento Sul (it's like a better, more dreamy Jethro Tull) - Marcos Valle I love music from all over the world, and in my discoveries, I've found perhaps Brazil has the best music, from Milton, to Marcos Valle. The dreamy, island-like Nelson Angelo E Joyce, the heavy funk and brilliant Arthur Verocai, the Lo Borges' debut which is very ambitious for an 20-year old (and features the harpsichord work of O Terco's keyboardist..) Brazil has been a blessing, and working in an airport, anyone with a Brazil passport I mention how amazing so many artists are (notably Milton for his huge, consistent discography). |

Thanks for the tip on Egisto Macchi - bloody brilliant! I'm now in the process of becoming obsessed with him. |
