dont forget zeppelin, jethro tull, gentle giant, sabbath, and especially deep purple. and kansas has way more great songs than just that one. it's overplayed, i hear it on the classic rock station nearly everyday.

Zeppelin and Black Sabbath are okay, but I don't really like them that much. I should have put Jethro Tull and Deep Purple on there too though.Montu Sekhmet said:
I wasn't really thinking hard when I made that post. And don't kill me because I've never heard of Gentle Giant!As for Kansas, I know they have plenty of good songs, I just wanted to be as contradictory to Ursut as possible.

well, genisis was good until phil collins started singing. as for the rest of that, I have no idea who any of it is.
tubbs, buy a gentle giant cd. my favorite is 'aquireing the taste', because you actually have to listen for a while before likeing it. most yes fans appreciate it though.

Bryant,
I remember Brother Cane, they were awesome! I loved their albums "Seeds" and "Wishpool." Great stuff.
I love Crash Test Dummies because they were just so different, and that album was so quirky and whimsical.
Other non-metal stuff I like: The Cranberries, Counting Crows, Bjork (a 90's theme going here, I see). But one of my favorites is U2's "Where the Streets Have No Name." Incredible song.

Ah, Brother Cane. "And Fools Shine On" was a great tune. What was that, 1995? I was at my first job after graduating - a telecommunications consulting firm in the Texas panhandle. Now those were the days. Late nights at the blues halls (Stubbs BBQ, The Spoon) and the summer nights at the Beer Garden listening to some great music.

Cool to see another BC fan here. I always like Counting Crows too. My brother and I used to do an acoustic version of Mr. Jones.

ShreadHead, you should purchase "Seeds." "wishpool" is also very good as well, but has a little bit of the Seattle style in it. "Seeds" really had an oddball vibe to it, I haven't heard anywhere else. It had a little Southern Rock, a little late 60's psychedelic rock, a little hard rock and a lot of in your face rock and roll comprising it.

I absolutely love a lot of video game scores including quirky C64 MIDI tunes. For a great song out of that vast amount, take just about any Final Fantasy piece by Nobuo Uematsu.
Just spinning it right now, "Dreams of Glory" by Bjorn Lynne, off his new album. Piano melodies remind me of Liquid Tension Experiment in their more melodic moments. Would be a great stepping-stone album for any prog fan who wants to expand into electronic music.
