More Yes?!
Seeing as you seem to have discovered Yes and Jethro Tull and seem to enjoy them I'd suggest exploring more prog, I'm quite confident you can find more interesting stuff there ;)

I'm always exploring prog, just pretty slowly. I doubt it'll ever get back to the level of Pink Floyd, Tull and Yes though. And maybe someday I can play these albums one more time.
Chronologically, I'm at 1969 on this list of albums: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_ ... 9369)#1969
Amon Duul, Spirit and Colosseum are on my player: I've already finished all or almost all of the big ones

[Armoreska]

Any prediction idea what may remain to come still ahead?

Absolutely no idea. This list seems very random to me.

Great! May I suggest also this excellent resource: http://www.progarchives.com/top-prog-al ... pes=1#list
As you can see Yes and Jethro Tull are the top 2 highest rated prog albums ever!

No idea

Indeed I was hoping for yet another 5/5 bingo and then comes Doop and screws it all up!

[Armoreska]

Yoghurt is delicious.
There's only 1 five-bunch remaining w/o any electronic or hip-hop music, but it's kinda boring since almost all of them are well-considered among the very best

Electronic as such is not really a problem, I quite like a lot of electronic stuff.

I finally caught up with this thread. I heard some interesting new songs, especially between 112 and 66. To answer your question, I am almost positive this song is still to come:

Deep Purple - Child in Time

And perhaps one of these tracks?

Scoop - Drop It
PPK - ResuRection

[Armoreska]

Scoop - Drop It

Ya, heard it before, but not really "my" sound, or beat.

Certainly, I like it, but I prefer the film score.
