How about Camel? Andy Latimer is right up there with David Gilmour, Mark Knopfler, and the other tasteful lead players. Great songs, lyrics, chops, and keyboards. I even liked I Can See Your House From Here.

Indeed! I was fortunate enough to see them open for Wishbone Ash,and they were the better act.
Was unable to find any records here in BFE;years later I got the Pressure Points cd--all that I could find.(pre internet).
Now available on DVD.

Someone mentioned ELP earlier. I think they would have been a much better band if they had a full time guitarist. I like the stuff from the 1st album up to Brain Salad. Trilogy is my fav. I know everyone usually goes for Brain Salad, which is a classic. I only saw P twice when he was with Asia. I saw the 1st Asia Tour and the XXV Tour.

I saw P with Asia on their first tour, and a few years ago with The Carl Palmer Band, which was great! :D

No worries on that, but what's really odd is that I believe that I linked properly to the youtube viddy I tried to post, and it shows up in your quote of my post but not in my original post. :?:

You have to delete everything up to and including the v= bit when embedding a tube video. I modded the quoted section to get it to work.

There is one ELP tune I like (although it is a sort of cover):



Check out the size of the synths! :o

back to starcastle, the self titled is a great lp. fountains was great as well. citadel and real to reel was the record company interfering with creativity for commercialism. strater had some great tones on his late 60's 4001 deluxe. more pronounced on the later albums but lots of crunchy tones that i loved on the first two lps.
