Where is Glass Hammer?

Voted for Frank, since Return to Forever isn't prog.


Gaston


It's the same guy. Great minds think alike.

Todd Rundgren really should be listed here. Just listing Utopia limits TR too much and the majority of his great prog work was on his solo albums---from AWizardATrueStar all the way through Initiation, and the album Todd deserves special mention because some of it is the most etheral spaced out rock I've ever heard.

I enjoy Todd more than Zappa, but haven't really given Zappa as much of a chance. There always seems to be too much talking and joking. I need intensity of emotion, not glib witticisms in my music.

I still have to discover Zappa, so pretending I didn't see his name in the list, I choose Kansas. I don't like them as much anymore as I did, but I used to listen a lot to some of their older work, and really enjoyng it too.

Echolyn did some great things as well. Djam Karet has a fresh attitude to prog-rock.

Couldn't get into Starcastle. Too much of a Yes-clone for me, I guess.
