Fair enough. I guess I always thought of Prog rock has a misuse of talent. Not wasted, just misused.

I'm a HUGE Yes fan who didn't put them in my historical top 5, because of their slide into bloat and pretention (which I love anyway).
But I put them in my honorable mention because of their technical ability (Steve Howe, Chris Squire, Bill Bruford, Alan White and Rick Wakeman are/were gifted musicians), their long-term success and their influence. For good or bad, their virtuoso musicianship combined with vocal harmonies influenced many 70s and 80s bands (Boston, Styx, Kansas, Foreigner, etc.) |

I try. And back to the "black" rock bands, I REALLY dig Sevendust (older stuff at least) and their lead singer is black.. Does that count?

This is the whitest collection of bands since the 1943 Lollapalooza in Berlin.

Band Of Gypsys, I think one counts, too. So, yes - there are 2.

true, but they became more of a funk/soul band. See, if we're gonna go there, I'll bring out Funkadelic, ya know?? Just for Maggot Brain and Mommy, What's a Funkadelic ALONE.

to be honest, the more bass I play, the more Noel starts to annoy the shit outta me.
I'd rather have Billy and Buddy. To me, it goes like this : Band Of Gypsys>Cry Of Love Band>The Experience. Flame away. agreed; great musicians, a couple of decent songs, then so WAY WAY overrated to the point that they made a career out of it. Kinda like Phish, only on a way smaller scale.
