Flower kings … I haven't heard of them … I will check them out

I also recommend the Flower Kings. Great bass playing. Check out the Meet the Flower Kings live stuff on youtube. My favourite album of theirs is Adam & Eve.

If you like Rush, try Maximum Indifference

Try Strawbs. The best two records are Hero and Heroine and Ghosts.

Doesn’t Rick Wakeman play on those albums? I have a vague recollection of the drummer in my high school band trying to get me into Strawbs just because of their connection with Yes. I also have a less vague recollection of that connection not being strong enough to engage my interest.

 

[Jeff Scott]

Steve Hackett

All of his work is superb.

Mahogany Rush

I FORGOT ABOUT THESE GUYS

I saw them at a club in Cinci in 1975, fun times.
