Four bands that I discovered at about the same time when I really delved into Prog, and each band has albums that I have been super infatuated with.Much as I really like all four, this is my order in terms of the amount of time I spend listening to each these days. 1. Magma 2. Amon Düül ll 3. Univers Zero 4. Gong It has to be Magma for me since that is the only one of these "sub-genres" (four categories that I love) that I can say is the most important band of its category to me despite loving a huge amount of Zeuhl. The four of these bands do have albums that I really cherish, though. I also have the most Magma albums of any band in PA. Incidentally, I think my list of these categories would be: Magma, Popol Vuh, Art Zoyd and Cos (just cause there are albums by those four that I have seemed to returned to, and still return to, so very much). ------------- Just a fanboy passin' through. |

Well, even if Univers Zero doesn't appeal to you, at least you must have seen some worth in Heresie as you rated it four stars (and I think of that as a particularly challenging album from Univers Zero). I respect that someone might not get the appeal of a band yet still recognise the value in an album. ------------- Just a fanboy passin' through. |

For me it's down to Magma and Amon Duul II although all four are amazing bands. Went with the Germans this time. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Gong for me. Never got into Zeuhl or Krautrock, and "Flying Teapot" is one of my favourite Canterbury albums

It's between AD II ,Gong and Magma for me, though I really enjoy the only UZ album I own (Heresie). Went with ADII this time, their first three albums are all 5 stars records in my book.

Logan, thank you. I see the talent in Univers Zero and Magma but don't really (other than 1 or 2 cases) like their music. ------------- A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!! |

Gong rocks very moistly. ------------- I am currently digging: Hawkwind, Rare Bird, Gong, Tangerine Dream, Khan, Iron Butterfly, and all things canterbury and hard-psych. I also love jazz! Please drop me a message with album suggestions. |

All of the above. Probably I have a little preference for Magma but how can I not vote for the other three? ------------- Curiosity killed a cat, Schroedinger only half. My poor home recorded stuff at https://yellingxoanon.bandcamp.com |

^I was just thinking that, it's not often that you see a selection of bands all with nearly the exact same number of votes.
