sexcellent choices darling Beer

pre-Dull Tull- With You there to help me.. 

the best thing they ever did IMO..

Floyd - God that is tough...  hate to do it.. and not chose Cymbaline.. but have to give it up to Us and Them.  Pure perfection there.

Yes - The Ancient

Genesis - Cinema Show

KC - Indiscipline

ELP - coin flip between Toccata and The Barbarian. For pure perfection..  giving it to Toccata today. Only ELP could have pulled that piece off...

Pink Floyd - Seamus
ELP - Benny the Bouncer
Jethro Tull - The Story of the Hare who Lost His Spectacles
King Crimson - Moonchild
Yes - No Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Needed
