^Really much recommend you (and also everyone else) listen to Doc at the Radar, it´s the tightest Beefheart album!

The only album I know from this list is Brainticket's "Voyage", so I won't vote. My favorite album from that period is not on the list, though it is also a lesser known one - "Fairy Tales" by Mother Gong.

^ oh yeah, and Amenophis!
Bacamarte is good but I never got into it as much as some people.  I should listen again.  There was one track I loved, so I should at least listen to that one again!

^ Thanks for the rec...only heard Bacamarte (good one indeed) but I'm pretty sure everything on the list is worth a listen. That Dennis dude is def an authority on very obscure stuff, many bands listed here i've never even heard of.

From the albums I've listened to: Adonis by Anyone's Daughter and "Memento..." by SBB are both to me really good. Bacamarte never really did anything for me. Oh, and Blå Vardag would've been much better if it'd had some vocals.

I voted for Nightwinds because I thought it was a really good one if it's the same band I'm thinking of which is to say a Canadian band with a very Genesis(circa Trick and Wind)sound. Unfortunately that album has been out of print for some time and will apparently never see the light of day again because from what I heard the master tapes were lost. 


Ya, Nightwinds is a cool album and, "The Pirate's of Rebecca's Choice" is a fantastic track.  Luckily someone uploaded the album to youtube so it's not completely lost Wink

Don't know that many of these. Voting for SBB and Beefheart although the Brainticket and Bacamarte albums are quite good too.

great to see so much love for Asia Minor here.  I wish they had started earlier - they could have been one of the bigger names in French prog - well French/Turkish prog  Clap

I'm actually surprised that the second Rousseau album is beating the first.  I do prefer it and partly because I love the vocalist, but I generally thought the first is more respected here

There are at least 12 bands on that list I'm not familiar with ....looking forward to checking them out.
It's nice when one of the members here posts a list like that so the rest of us can educate ourselves.

Asia Minor, SBB, Drangonfly from this fantastic list. I don't know them all, so I'll check the ones that I'm not familiar with.

For me, Bacamarte is the best here.
