A lot of killer stuff there!
I just listening to the Moving Waves album a couple of hours ago, a prog masterpiece! I actually have the original vinyl from the 70's(along with my CD)
I have both too, but since I am from Holland I presume it is a lot easier to find here then in Finland
. That album is pure gold in my opinion, great flowing songs and quite unique atmosphere plus a lot of variation.
Early Camel, oh yes! Snowgoose is one of my all time favourite albums, easily in the top 5.
Early Genesis is killer stuff as well, the Gabriel-era and a couple of albums after that. Gentle Giant is brilliant stuff as well.
I never really got into Gentle Giant, but I think I'll give them another chance. For me Genesis should have called it quits when Gabriel left, I don't like the albums after that. Somehow they miss the edge and excitement that was there in the beginning. The first Steve Hackett album Voyage of the Acolyte is however really great.
As a Finn, I have to recommend old Wigwam albums (Being, their masterpiece) and Tasavallan Presidentti, which is a bit more jazzy than Wigwam.
Thanks for bringing this up, I have heard of Wigwam a couple of times before but never checked them out. Definitely going to do that now.
I see a lot of Doom bands mentioned here I thought this was about bands like anathema, blackfield and Antimatter (sorry for the prog rambling btw
).
If you want some depressing Doomy stuff check out Skepticism (in particular Lead and Aether), Funeral (the last two albums are really great). No one has mentioned Paradise lost by the way
Maybe those who like the last blackfield album and some of the newer Anathema stuff might also like Saybia from Denmark. Especially their second album "These are the days" has some great melancholic songs. Might however be a bit to poppy for some of you. Catherine Wheel's Ferment album might also be a good one if you are into this kind of music and a big + 1billion for Jeff Buckley. Grace is definitely one of my all time favorite albums.
