Van der Graaf Generator No other band amazes me with their music as much as they do. ------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man. |

I guess that I have two which stand out: early Genesis (from Trespass to The Lamb) early ELP (from the debut to BSS) ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

I would have chosen Rush, but their 80s output didn't really appeal to me that much so I'm going to say Porcupine Tree - consistently good from the first to the last album. ------------- Oh, for the wings of any bird, other than a battery hen |

| Can if I include the solo work, otherwise probably Art Zoyd. King Crimson, Talk Talk and Cardiacs are further candidates. When I was young, Tangerine Dream and Eloy. |

Back in the 70s, Yes with Genesis and Renaissance right behind. In the early 2000s, Flower Kings and IQ. Now Big Big Train, although that is waning with the untimely death of David Longdon. ------------- Between Thought and Expression Lies True Perception |

My tastes have changed a lot in the last 20 years but Rush, Anekdoten and Porcupine Tree are still my top three. I guess that's that first love thing. RUSH is my answer. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |
