| Greenslade - 2nd tier Prog (apparently) should match this. Rod is in that ‘notch below the greats’ organist extraordinaire....... |

Hey, Thanks for the suggestion! Greenslade rocks! He may not be the best but no one else wrote coming of kohoutek
 I saw him riff out a 7 minute organ solo a couple of monthts back, front row, to hold your head up. you don't get to experience that many times in a life time! |

I suspect you'll like these. The bands are connected; Graham Field left RB (a quartet with two keyboard players, and no guitarist) to form Fields (trio). ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

Cheers although in retrospect perhaps Flash was not such a good recommendation as their is not much keyboard in their music although they are from that era. Cherry Five was probably the band I was thinking of.

| yep Cherry Five although it had completely passed me by until I checked that Cherry Five was actually Goblin before they changed their name! |

Gotta throw Uriah Heep out there. And for something both newer and proggier, you need to check out some Eloy. |
