    Your Top 10 favorite artists/bands

    Been a while since we did this, I think.

    Obviously we all like Yes or we wouldn't be here, but I'm interested in hearing what other artists you like too.

    They don't have to be all rock, or all prog... if you're into jazz or classical or power pop or whatever, go ahead and mingle them!


    I'll list mine shortly.

    She's an equal opportunity offender, a societal wildcard. You can't control her, only hope to contain her, even then she refuses to be possessed. If she were a coin, you would spend her, unwillingly. If she were an animal, you'd free her to the wilderness.

    Re: Your Top 10 favorite artists/bands

    We might as well call it the top 11, because Yes would be in there for most of us, myself most certainly included.

    Anyway:
    1. The Beatles
    2. Grateful Dead
    3. King Crimson (primarily 1981-2003 and 1973-74)
    4. Phish
    5. Rush
    6. 1961-65 John Coltrane Quartet
    7. Porcupine Tree
    8. Frank Zappa
    9. Gentle Giant
    10. Jethro Tull

    I couldn't choose. It was easier for me to pick the specific Bill Evans Trio!

    Two responses:

    1) Yes sir! I know you and I have spoken about the Dead here and there, but yes, I rank them that highly.
    2) Hook us up! Would love to meet him.
