Hey Guys... I
just found this and am pleased to see so many here. I have been a prog
rocker since I was 7. Heard Pink Floyd and was hooked. Been discovering
new stuff for a long time. I really got hooked on King crimson 17 years
ago(seen em' live front row too!!!) Been a hardcore Rush fan for over 2
decades. Love Genesis(Peter Gabriel's) plus a smidge of the later stuff
till about '83. Discovered Yes when I was young too. Not to mention
ELP. Also a Proud owner of 90 Zappa albums. Been a bass and keyboard
guy in a few different bands. Some of my own design. Discovered VDGG
recently... Always loved Peter Hammil on RF's Exposure album. Didn't
know much about Pete until A Friend said Something about VDGG That
stirred my curiousity. Well I gave them a listen and WOW!!! Then I do a
websearch and lo and behold The origins of Pete Hammil!!! I know now
why Fripp Chose him for his first solo album. Well I could just keep on
going and Going. SAY?!?! What Camel and Gentle Giant can
you recommend me??? Again Nice to be here and look foward to future chatting and posting------------- Mrs.Marion is strict with her servant..... DISENGAGE |

Hi there, you'll probably get different recommendations from everyone but here are mine: Camel - Snow Goose (different from their other early albums and exactly why it is the only one I really like) Gentle Giant - In a Glass House (i think this is their pinnacle album although the others from the early catalog are good too) |
