Most of those bands I really don't know much about except for their names. I haven't gone through any of their albums but with the exception of Procol Harum & their first two albums. I don't bother with The Who -- thanks to Jerry Bruckheimer.

My taste varies. If I had to pare down the list it would be: Les Paul & Mary Ford, The Rolling Stones, Steve Howe (the various bands he was in.) Traffic, Genesis, & Pram. I also like a bunch of one albums bands like Room and two albums bands like Trees.

In case you don't know who Pram are they're a superior version of The Residents. J/K!!! This forum the older bands trump newer ones, so that would be considered heresey here.

My favorite drummers are Mel Taylor, Jim Capaldi, Bill Burford, Charlie Watts, Carl Palmer and Bonzo. My favorite Jazz drummers are Elvin Jones & Joe Morello. There are three real Jazz aficionados on MB. Frownland is musicbanter's Grand Poobah of Jazz and he's probably right now scoffing at my Jazz knowledge or lack thereof. Mainly cause I failed to mention a European Free Jazz drummer.

You're welcome.
The Byrds have a comp. called "Preflyte." maybe that's what you're thinking of?

You are the first person I have come across to mention Jim Capaldi. Mercilessly underrated. Speaking of Joe Morello, I wonder where Bonzo got the idea for his drum solo.
