I love this type of music. I dig everything on here except for maybe Nektar... but they're not bad. Steve Hackett's first 3 albums are gold. 70's is the by far the best decade for me hands down.

Very prog!!! I want to make a prog chart, but I just haven't heard enough, like Camel and Gentle Giant and Brand X. I need to hear all of those first.
