lost angeles ... I also enjoy some of BJH but only have 1 of their cd's (best of)

currently listening to the very best of cat stevens

 

[survivor]

Barclay James Harvest - `Once Again` (cd with bonus tracks)

My favourite BJH album. Features `She Said`, `Galadriel` and the wonderful `Mockingbird`.

If Rainbow did epic 'War of the Worlds' concept albums in the style of Rick Wakeman...........

Sounds...er...interesting (biting tongue)

Ayreon is good stuff. Not got 'Into The Electric Castle' myself, but got 3 or 4 of the others. 'Human Equation' is the best of the bunch IMO, especially as it has James Labrie, Mikael Akerfeldt & Devin Townsend singing on it.

Went looking for Bent, as in the British trip hop purveyors of such classic mellow tracks as 'Swollen' and 'Private Road' on Spotify and found this instead..........

... by the American metal band Bent. It is a real shredder with a great raw edge to it. Occasionally these happy mistakes crop up on Spotify. Bent are now on my metal playlist.

More modern prog rock discoveries (for me anyway). I think since Spotify is Swedish and there appears to be a very strong prog rock style music scene over there, there has been a big emphasis on that style of music. This has a collaboration of musicians from the likes of Dream Theater and Spocks Beard. Style wise it is with the lighter Yes end of prog rock.

The Flower Kings - `Stardust We Are` (dble cd)

Ah, idc, funny you should mention Swedish prog because I`ve just listened to this for the first time in ages. This is a classy and varied album and if you only ever get one Flower Kings album make sure it`s this one. Yes fans should check out `Church Of Your Heart` and everyone should check out the stupendous title track! Well done Alan Freeman for bringing this band to my attention some years back.

Cheers survivor. I had noticed the Flower Kings popping up as other recommendations. Thanks to Spotify I have 11 of their albums to listen to, starting with the above, once I have finished with this.................
