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 That song is a copy if 'thrill of it all' from sabotage lol Yes, there are tons of Sabbath rip offs out there--but they still sound good.

Special shout-out to the very short career of "Mellow Candle".
One album.
But what an amazing album.

Special shout-out to the very short career of "Mellow Candle". One album. But what an amazing album. Some favorite one album bands: Blind Faith - Blind Faith (1969, some Clapton guy on guitar) Derek and the Dominos - Layla and other Assorted Love Songs (1970, same Clapton guy, playing guitar with this Duane dude) The United States of America - The United States of America (1968, probably the greatest psychedelic album of all-time) Khan - Space Shanty (1972, Featuring Steve Hillage on guitar and Dave Stewart on keyboards) Morgen - Morgen (1969, more off-the-wall psychedelia) I'll think of more as I try to overcome the unfortunate long-term memory damage of massive drug ingestion during the 70s. Ummmm....what were we talking about again?

Maybe try out a bit of Canterbury first Have you got Caravan-In the land of grey and Pink from 1971? I always enjoy getting back to the 'Canterbury' bands. My missus was at UKAC and was a fan of several of the Canterbury scene bands. Jethro Generator recently guided me back to 'In the land of grey and pink' and I was really pleased to hear it again. Must reopen the Canterbury files!

Pat, I absolutely adore that Caravan album. It's just so perfect. The songwriting, the playing, everything.

I couldn't agree more, I need to get the Missus to dig out her old Kent Universtity stuff and unearth some of her programmes and the such. She also knew quite a few people from the Dulwich College bands and went to a few early gigs by Phil Target-Adams' [Phil Manzanera] then band "Quiet sun", a pre-cursor to Roxy Music. From Quiet Sun she also knew Bill McCormick who later went onto be part of the Canterbury scene band, 'Matching Mole', which included Dave Sinclair of Caravan. Ian, Have you heard 'Quiet Sun'? If not I'll try and upload some stuff to YouTube

Ian, Have you heard 'Quiet Sun'? If not I'll try and upload some stuff to YouTube I have not. Admittedly my Canterbury collection leaves much to be desired, though I'm well-versed in the basics (Caravan, Hatfield, Soft Machine, Khan, Hillage, Gong ...)

Ian Quiet Sun were one of the south London bands to emerge fro Dulwich College, it's biggest alumni being Phil Manzanera [Target-Adams]. They weren't a Canterbury scene band, but had links Ian - I don't like adding links to the full album releases, but in this case here's an exception MAINSTREAM - QUIET SUN Uploaded by Obscure Prodigy

I have not yet discovered Roxy Music (aside from a few things here and there), but I've always thought they'd be something I'd enjoy. Not to mention they featured Eddie Jobson on violin (whom I had the pleasure of meeting two summers ago).

Ian, Roxy are [IMO] superb, much more UK art school rock than anything near Prog, but they have their moments on the early albums. I always suggest starting at the beginning with Roxy as their later albums always seemed over produced with a sway in direction towards pop/disco [with the ocassional gem] like Manifesto. I added a link to the Quiet Sun Mainstream album below in the last post

That being said, I enjoy a wide variety of adventurous music (UK art rock included).

Well, I will not really rank some other 9 bands but I will talk about some of them, from the top of my mind:
Caravan and Camel: I just love those guys. Caravan is magical, incredible music. Songs like Love in Your Eye can brigthen up my day instantly. Camel is incredible. I have a special thing with Mirage. I can listen to that album several times in a row. Ensiferum: Finnish Viking Metal band. When I feel like listening to something heavier this is my choice. Black Sabatth: mostly the early albums, they got something amazing going, energetic and musical in a very peculiar way. Blood, Sweat and Tears: their albums are funny and very pleasant. I always listen to then. The Beatles: Mostly the later albums. Abbey Road, Let It Be and The White are my all time favourites. Red Hot Chilli Peppers: very good band. I enjoy singing along their songs. Gogol Bordello: discovered them a few months ago and got addicted. Great sonority, great sounds, and energetic performance. Their front man Eugene Hutz even remembers me of Ian Anderson a little, because of his stage persona.
There are many others bands of different styles I enjoy a lot but those are the ones I listen to more frequently, along with Tull.

Alot of those Canterbury guys played together and interchanged within those bands. So many great bands. Soft Machine "Third" is one of the best albums from that period. Ian that Gong video you posted on FB was great! Never saw that before ever! Great album! Weird band! They remind me of the manson family. John, have you seen this one yet? One of my favorite vintage Gong videos ...

This may be lost on some of you prog-heads but I've been listening to a lot of Hank Williams III recently--his stuff is sort of a pleasant surprise, diverse mix of outlaw country, punk, metal, zydeco, bluegrass, sometimes even throwing some funk in the mix, all done with great musicians and not overproduced.
Most albums of his that I've heard will be welcomed by those who love to be musically intrigued, like to rock out--and don't mind (or perhaps even enjoy like I do) sometimes very lewd lyrics.

Must say that Tori Amos took my attention from Tull in a major way last 2 years maybe. Apart from her, there would be:
Peter Gabriel Pink Floyd (Waters and Gilmour) Kate Bush Dire Straits Creedence CR The Who (mostly album Tommy) Simon & Garfunkel Queen (but they are fadeing already) The Beatles can sneak anytime
