Oh man, such a great progressive band of the past. Does anyone know of these wonderful musicians?

Discuss their greatness.

Favourite album? Song? blah blah blah...

Soft Machine are pretty sweet.

I haven't acquired any full albums unfortunately, but I'd have to say that Teeth is my favorite track I've heard.

Favorite song is probably Out-Bloody-Rageous or Drop.

Soft Machine eh. What I wouldn't give to have seen them tour with Jimi back in the day...

Fourth's four-part Virtually is probably my favorite overall track by this genius group, but I love everything they've done from Second onward.

Second onward? Their first is usually regarded as their best, and I'd have to agree with the majority. However I do like the other volumes and Bundles.

Interesting; from what I've seen and read, the majority seem to hype Third to death and hold everything else in lower regard. Hmn...

And anyways, I don't dislike their debut. On the contrary, I think it's quite awesome. I just prefer Second, Third, Fourth, etc. because it was on Second and Third that the group really established their sound as most of us know it, and its their jazzier-indulgences that I find to be the most enthralling IMO.

Well you made it sound like the first was just meh...

You gotta love "Why am I so Short" and "So Boot if at All" right after. Musical heaven.
