Chased by the ghosts of warriors past, no doubt. You must have heard of another Rare band, too. Progressive Funkadelic in its own way. Their offering filled an album side like Pink Floyd, Echoes and Iron Butterfly, In A Gadda Da Vida. Ode to the Jam...

I loved Rare Earth

I'm going with Mechina and Celldweller.

Pink Floyd is something else too.

When I see your "Avatar" I see ELO.. Electric Light Orgestra. But then you say Led Zep..!!
Good for you...and me. Maybe it is the spirit cooking Jimmy Page did with the music but it is as if some songs apmlify the mood you are in. Some songs drag you into a certain mood...very powerful music.

But for me it is Van Halen. Not because I live a few Streets from where they lived in Nijmegen, The Netherlands. No, it is because their first album mystified me as a starting guitar player. Eddie van Halen was the next best thing after Hendriks...today, some 40 years after hearing his Eruption solo I am still trying to nail it on guitar.

Thats why Van Halen is my band..

John Bonham turned me into a drummer.

I love ELO as well, but I don't get the same trance-like magic from them. I also didn't discover them at the age of 12 like I did with Zep and Floyd etc.



I get something different with ELO.

i have always been a fan of neil young as well:

"In the Light" is a close second. But yah, nothing holds a candle to Kashmir

And oh yah, When the Levee Breaks...prophetic, considering what happened during Katrina...

King Crimson would be my first choice, but since they've already been mentioned I shall mention another band who was just as amazing.

Van Der Graaf Generator



They certainly aren't everyone's cup of tea, and it took me years to really get into them. However, their music takes me to another place whenever I listen to them. Peter Hammill's vocals are full of raw emotion and the rest of the band creates this bleak and spacey atmosphere with their instruments.

Never heard them before, got it running background now... excellent. Remotely resembles elements of Jethro Tull, maybe Frank Zappa, even Alice Cooper.

yah...
