I thought of this one earlier today. I don't think it's been done before(at least not by me).

First vote goes to Eloy!

Eloy has many fans...just not on this site. Ocean and Colours are classics. Their new stuff kicks asphalt, too.

Oh yeah, that place. Lol. Maybe. There's probably also more Magma, Gentle Giant, Univers Zero and RIO fans in general over there too.

I agree except the part about the new stuff, which I don't like at all

Do you like wish you were here and animals era Pink Floyd? Then you might like Eloy(the mid to late 70's era anyway). The earlier stuff was slightly more krautrockish though.

Cool. I just checked and they are on spotify if you are a fan of streaming. You can listen to individual songs there. Of course there's also youtube. Their highest rated albums on here I believe are floating, dawn, ocean, silent cries and mighty echoes and planets. Those are usually their most highly recommended ones anyway.

count me in 

Ocean through to Time To Turn is one hell of an album run that has been rarely bettered. They nailed down tight the whole Space Rock genre thing. The recent stuff is also kick ass as you say.

PT - well okay they are genre re-defining and also amazing but my heart is with EloySmile
