The Police... now there's a defining band. I can't think of a late 70s/early 80s band that weren't inspired by them.

RIP is a compilation of old tracks but Breathe In, Breathe Out (2011) and Still Got That Hunger (2015) are all new albums and totally kick butt.
Thanks! I just had a look on Google at those two albums you mentioned and I noticed Rod Argent & Colin Blunstone are both still with The Zombies, so they must be good albums. Thumbs Up

Santana are actually in PA under Jazz Rock/Fusion.
Thanks! That's great news! I never knew Santana were in ProgArchives. Thumbs Up 
 
BTW, that's true for both Santana the group and Carlos Santana the solo artist.
 
 
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.

What say you??
Sorry, got to add Cream and the Who. I used to love them... now, not so much, but defining bands for hard rock. I used to be into loads of genres, like hard rock, blues, pop, glam etc., but that was before I discovered Genesis - sadly long after their heyday.Unhappy

not band but solo artist who gives solo concerts as well as concerts with a band: Barbara Dennerlein. she is actually my favorite musician period and the whole family (my wife Friede, my sister Bea and our daughters Alice and Dorothy) will again attend one of her concerts in a bit more than 2 weeks (Aug 23rd).

here an example of her music (watch her left foot)



by the way: Keith Emerson was a big fan of her

I guess I'll have to choose another band now. The Moody Blues would have been my second choice - if they weren't in ProgArchives. Smile

Difficult to choose just one band, but I'll go for Siouxsie & the Banshees.

very hard to pick just one band, non-prog can mean a lot of things - metal, jazz, rock, blues etc ?!

I'll go with Nik Bartsch's Ronin, Swiss minimalist modern jazz combo. Seen them a few times live and love everything they've released.
