Wow, I've tried to answer this question several times I just can't. It's seemingly simple but I don't think I have a ten favorite band list. I have some others that I like...a lot...but it doesn't feel the same. I don't like them the same way, for instance, have never and will probably never join a message board on any other band. I just don't care enough. You know what I mean?
I noticed some overlapping on some of the bands a lot of you listed and noticed I do not overlap with much of it. I like some Zeppelin and Rush, but that's about it for similar music tastes. I will say after Tull my next favorite genre is Irish punk, that I will commit to.

well geez, I don't know...check my subject of the month threads and anything that is a non Tull song.
I don't think there's a Flogging Molly song I don't like. I like The Prodigals, The Blaggards, The Tossers, The Shout out Louds, The Pogues, Black 47...which may fit into a slightly different category. Do you mean The Young Dubliners? Their tour bus smells like pee if you stand near it.
After last night posting I'm shipping up to Boston, I can't get it out of my head.
I like traditional but I get bored with it fast, I don't want to listen to it for hours.

As of today: Gentle Giant Police Captain Beyond Old Blind Dogs Chieftains Umphry's McGee Led Zeppelin Jim Malcolm Allan Holdsworth Jeff Beck

The radio 70s stuff was the pits plus tax. Worst decade musically known to mankind. Disco, Abba, Bread, ... who bought that mess.

Your list would almost suit me as well as the one I made. Good to see another Holdworth fan. Judging by this list you must be a guitar player also. I think we might have some things to talk about if ever we sat over a cup of tea.

Even though I don't play guitar, lol. I do play Flute, Sax, Acoustic Guitar and a little Keys. I probably missed a lot by not getting an electric beast when I was younger as all of the above have a fine coating of rust! Fine thing these lists but I have another couple to follow on that one! (Who can resist a good Holdsworth tune!) Darin

I have been listening to a considerable amount of little feat recently. The feel of the music of course very different from Tull, but the complexities of the rhythms and melodies tickle my Tull sensibilities.

I felt like I did this already but I see I only did a half-assed type answer. I'll try again. Anything after Tull is not a particular order, I think I may have a hard time answering or remembering what I like so...
1. Tull 2. Gaelic Storm 3. The Prodigals 4. Black 47 5. Blackmore's Night 6. Flogging Molly 7. Rush 8. Zeppelin 9. The Pogues 10. I'm stuck...I have lots more that I like, at least a little...just not another I want to place as a top 10...maybe because I don't know all the artists' music yet or it's something I used to like a lot more than I do now, but I still do a little. I can't commit.

(Who can resist a good Holdsworth tune!) Darin I agree. Holdsworth is the only guitar player that doesn't bore me after an hour. Plus, unlike the Clapton etc. blues style players, who are easy to cop, I have no idea what Holdsworth is doiing so I can surrender and just enjoy the music like a non musician. Good you didn't pick up the electric beast (good choice of words). It has a way of leading one to poverty, ringing ears, introducing you to unsavory people, and cheap hotels. Otherwise it's been great fun .

You're right, doesn't sound complex on the surface but try playing the stuff. I was in a band that covered Little Feat material back in the 70s, early 80s and you have to woodshed it to get in right. But it was worth it because, done right, it comes off big time. If you could perform Little Feat in those clubs in the south in those days you were in the cash.

I'm surprised that tull fans like post 1983 music. i barely really enjoy anything after that year lol. I'm not seeing enough prog related 70s in here either. I don't enjoy hard rock of any decade either ;D. Just prog related heavy rock such as Sabbath and Purple

The few times I've been able to accomplish going through a Little Feat piece with some people (even if it wasn't live) it's always so much fun playing it--and the music makes you sound impressive--as if you knew what you were doing and not just carefully replaying and studying weird chord progressions that come out of nowhere.

Just prog related heavy rock such as Sabbath and Purple Cecil, if you like Sabbath and 70s heavy rock, you may like some of the comparably recent bands that are marketed under the "Stoner Metal / Doom Metal" genre -- Orchid, Witch, Acid King, Orange Goblin, Electric Wizard are a few popular acts that come to mind. Those type of bands always remind me of Sabbath, it's like the whole "genre" is built off of fans of early Sabbath. Orchid - Capricorn

Right, if you pulled it off you sounded impressive but that came with a price - woodsheding. We had Fat Man In The Bathtub, Dixie Chicken, Skin It Back, Oh Atlanta, and Driving Blind in our set at one time or another, the latter one from later in their career, being a real nice opener for us in the 90s. It took forever to get that one down too but it was worth it. I just insisted we have it as an opener, otherwise we'd have given up on it. It was easy to put your own feel to some of these songs as well and stretch them out a bit which Little Feat did live. The innerplay is fairly sophisticated on some of that stuff so it was like less is more in most place if you follow - pretty dense arrangements. Our keyboard player had been in a band that opened for Little Feat early on so that's how I discovered them. Great band, underrated, very original, and funky as heck on many levels. Glad you thought to include them.

Glad you thought to include them. Great band. My uncle worked with many bands (including Tull) but with LF for years through the 70's when they were really hot. Him and Lowell were very close and was with him the night he passed. He has told me how he ended up Living in Lowell's studio in Topanga Canyon for about 9 months after he died. It was just as he left it when he left to go on his last tour. My uncle boxed up a lot of his stuff, as his widow Liz, wasn't up to it and found a lot of his original scribblings that were the beginnings of songs like 'Dixie Chicken' and..well..lots of other Feat songs. What an amazing story Tulltapes--especially to Lowell George fans. Staying in that studio must have been really haunting in a lot of ways for your uncle--especially since he knew him.

Glad you thought to include them. The only ones we were ever able to get down (in various degrees) were Skin it Back (I been shaken' 'em down), Oh Atlanta (sounded more like a crappy pure prarie league cover when we did it), and All That You Dream (my favorite). Was never able to get down songs like "Romance Dance" "Hi Roller" and the like because the rhythms are just too damned specific sometimes, and in counter-intuitive ways. Comes out amazing on the record though! Perhaps we ought to make another thread to fill with all things little feat?
