| A close call between Happy The Man and Hands, I feel like going with Hands. |

Happy the Man! ------------- Categories strain, crack and sometimes break, under their burden - step out of the space provided. |

I haven't heard of half of those bands, but of those I have heard I probably enjoy HTM the most. It's not exactly mind blowing but there are some good ideas there and they're obviously very good musicians. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Happy the Man is the sure bet here, but I'll give it to Finch as they're still at it, in whatever form, and on the road (they just played L.A.). ------------- "It just has none of the qualities of your work that I find interesting. Abandon [?] it." - Eno |

HTM...though I think their next album Crafty Hands is way better than their debut  ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

My vote as well but man for my tastes this is a really weak list. If Epidaurus was included as he was thinking of it would have been my pick for sure. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

I'm not sure I remember any of those records - I mean I know I've heard the Kansas, Colosseum, Happy The Man and Hands albums at one point, but I guess they didn't leave a lasting impression on me. I may have to revisit HTM as I recall reading a very positive review of it that also seemed to flirt around with my tastes. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.
