You're right.. pretty difficult not to like Pink Floyd or Led Zepplin.. or Steely Dan who have a myriad of interesting tunes with such cool lyrics.

Thank you for posting that video of Loreena 😊... I did enjoy it very much. Reminded me of seeing her in concert in a small venue in my city many years back. She does look mystifying with that long red hair behind her harp when she plays it. Again.. thank you.

Another band that has left a mystical feeling in me is LAMB with their spiritual music. Realize it is not to everyones taste.. but here is a song that may resonate with some ( though I know 99.9 % of you probably won't listen ..lol.. which is all good 😉)

LAMB from LAMB 111

Well, my tastes change quite drastically as I move through life so I don't think I ever could have a band mystify me for the entirety, however if I were to choose I would go with someone who changes up their genres while keeping their signature sound.

So a few who fit that bill...
Devin Townsend (he has like 20+ albums, often vastly different from the previous)
The Dear Hunter (more albums pls)
Imogen Heap (she's a genius, how she constructs music is quite inspiring)
Dream Theater (a reluctant addition due to their newer material over the past 8 or so years, but everything prior is golden)

Well, my musical tastes are eclectic, but here are two vids that "mystified me for life".

The first has the amazing guitar skills of Richard Thomson matched with the beautiful voice of Sandy Denny. The second is John Martryn, who was quite brilliant. Music comes and goes, but the good one's are always those you go back to.

Who doesn't like the mellotron - Journey to the Center of the Earth - Rick Wakeman,

King Crimson - Lizard



PS the Keyboardist's and their Roadies hated the mellotron - constantly going out of tune....

To me the mysticism of "Tales From Topographic Oceans" and "Relayer"....enough said.

"Tales" was my 1st Yes Album - I bought it because I liked the cover....hehehehe I never looked back

Saw Yes for their "Magnification" album release Tour in Perth in 2003 with Tom Brislin on keyboards - I was Raptured

How good is it to appreciate music that you grow into ?!

Kiss is one of mine ...

My mate was fully into kiss.
Not me.

Anyhow he convinced me to go see kiss

Never saw them live, jealous.

Some great bands mentioned here so far.
Hello, fellow Tool fans!

I've only just recently become mystified by these guys, but it's definitely for life now.

the Cream.

I bought the DVD - speaking of which they have a whole series of photos at Pompeii - I'm glad we went last year to Naples/Pompeii and got to get some photos of me trying to climb and escape the arena....haha
