H. J. Freaks is a monster bassist, once you get past the frilly skirts. HIs usual schtick is doing rearrangements of anime songs and he makes everything like 20 times funkier, which I appreciate.

I always have had troubled relationship with GG. Sometimes i love them, sometimes i just can't stand more than two songs.
I really have to be in the right mood.
Eivind--I had the reverse discovery process from you with JW. My preference for "era" seems to shift with the vagaries of time and the weather
Chank--I spent years searching for that Bad Religion, I think because of Chuck Eddy, damn his eyes, but true to their [titling] words, time and disregard buried it well. Thank you youtube, for saving me from more futile searching and buying BR boxsets Listening to it makes me want to bust out Atomic Rooster, Lucifer's Friend and mid-7Ts Sab.... Also, Here & Now def should've gotten a bigger share of the attention Ozric Tentacles "derived" from them....

Yeah, both eras are great, but those later albums, particularly Floating World and Waves, are fantastic.
Oh, and let's get some more old scandi prog up in here:

BUT even the kings of BAD PROG.
(not talking about Museo Rosenbach at all, I think we already took some examples of bad Italian stuff a few pages back)

Agreed. Not all prog can be good prog. (Especially with the overwhelmingly great output of Italian progsters.)
