In the last couple of years, I've fallen in love with more music than I ever knew existed, times 10. My musical knowledge of the 80s in general is still 'pathetic', at least as compares to any other decade in music from 60's through present at least.

Ah, The Court of the Crimson King.
Ah, The Return of the Giant Hogweed.
Ah, Dogs.......... oh dragged down by the stoooonneee....

It's too much, man. We could sit here and banter back and forth about every relevant band in music's history that we have in common. Personally, I've got about 5 hours left in my night. So maybe we can strike up richer conversation yet.

Hehe, I've had a similar journey backwards in time. I am quite pathetic with knowledge about music from the last decade, but from the 90s and back through time to the 50s/60s, I'm familiar with/know a lot more.

It's always nice to see someone else with an interest in both jazz and rock music from previous decades! Among your space rock mentions in the psychedelic rock thread, I saw you mention Steve Hillage which makes me think you might enjoy our prog & fusion album club which was created for discussing prog & fusion, one album at a time. We've done quite a few Canterbury scene albums, hence the Hillage connection.

You should check it out when you have the time
