Radar (a Georgia band who fit right in with Bruce Hampton and the Hampton Grease Band. They were on the bill at one of the Atlanta International Pop Festivals. I saw them open for Col. Hampton years ago. I can't find any recordings... but they were good!
 
The Candymen. They were Roy Orbison's band. They went on to form Beeverteeth, Atlanta Rhythm Section, and the Classics IV. They were probably the best band I have ever seen, and I've seen a lot of bands. One of Beeverteeth is a regular on this forum.
 
The Roemans. Tommy Roe's band, featuring Berry Oakley on bass. I used to watch them regularly at a converted bowling alley, appropriately named The Bowl, because there was a big sign outside that said, "BOWL". They always started their shows with the instrumental version of Goldfinger. With Berry on bass.. it got your attention. IMO, a GOOD song for any band to add to their song list.
 
Procol Harem fav Live with Conquistidor.
 
Jefferson Starship (only the first album that was actually still Airplane: Blows Against the Empire) I read somewhere that it was actually, It is a Fresh Wind That Blows Against The Empire).
 
CCR
 
The Beach Boys
 
Sly and the Family Stone
 
Ritchie Havens

A Flock of Seagulls

Michael, I have a piece of wall art in metal that reminds me of that.

 

Isn't that cool?  I think it's fantastic wall art and is very much like the cover.
 
 
These are a couple of many that are frequent listening. It's not only the music
but the memories they bring back.

Marillion not so much, yet anyway ... the singer may take some getting used to.  Maybe that will be an acquired taste.

I much preferred the FISH material in the early days, but there is no doubt that the later material without FISH is much better developed and defined, and sometimes more satisfying. FISH has a way of trying to be "too meaningful" and then used to come off like a Peter Gabriel copy, which he really wasn't, but later in his solo stuff he got to be very very good. His latest album, is getting some rave reviews and I have not heard it yet. Marillion is on hiatus, and I have a feeling they are done, even though their web site is not saying it.
 
Transatlantic, was not a band that I was interested in as I thought MP was over rated, but after seeing him doing that couple of pieces with Jon Anderson (specially the one from TFTO) was excellent, and even Mike did great, which gave me a new respect for the band. I actually hope that Transatlantic does a full version of TFTO about 3 or 4 times, and record it for a DVD. It will make YES, without Jon just another crap secondary band out there!

And it's called Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll.

Just pulling your leg!
 
I kinda wanted to see the film, but it died and went to heaven so fast. I've always loved (specially) the incredible strength and honesty that Ian showed up in the Policeman's Ball bit (have the DVD's), and some of his stuff. I thought the film might be interesting, but it would be hard to match up to the real thing. By anyone!

A Flock of Seagulls

You ought to check out who produced that and recorded it. And then go listen to him playing with GONG! One of the best bass players EVAAAAAHHH.
 
Anyone know how/who can take one of the pickups in the Fender Deluxe P Special Bass and have it switched to a humbucker? For the hell of it? This way I would have something similar to Mike's.
 
Is it too "bassy?" (with an open A) is one of my favorite lines from Mike during one warmup in Eugene!

Maybe we just don't pigeonhole music Pedro. Everything is there to be enjoyed, or not, regardless of any preconceived notions of it's worth based on 'popularity'.

What you never hear, is not important or valuable or interesting at the least? A bit strange!
 
But I go get a bit sad and sick of the socialist group supporting the top ten, and not having the courage and ability to find something else, and then trash the one that lists something different!

Supporting the Top Ten? I haven't listened to chart stuff with any interest in years, but I've heard every artist you listed. There's nothing 'different' in there, at all. Been listening to that stuff for the last 40-odd years. A lot of it's good, a lot of it's unlistenable - to me. It's all about personal taste you see.
