Ian Anderson's song writing continued to improve into the later albums of Jethro Tull's Roots To Branches and his solo Secret Language of Birds. I think he is the most expressive and unconscious lead player of any instrument. Very solid albums all the way through.

The Sultans of Swing rocks in my opinion.

@Monty1952 - The playing style of the bass player is unique http://youtu.be/bW5M5xljdCI

I liked the high tech sound Yes came up with for 90125.

Saw Adrain and Tony live with Julie Slick on bass a few years ago. Would go see them again!

Excellent front man Myles Kennedy of Alter Bridge (Used to be Creed when Scott Stapp was singing).

[Steph]

Never could tolerate Scotts Strapp's singing style. Myles is cool. So is Alter Bridge.

[sendler2112]

Myles has been working with Slash now also.

I was a big fan of Modern Rock/ Alt in the 90's before Prog Metal rose up. The Verve Pipe:

Some of their beautifully poetic songwriting from the album "Pop Smear"

I liked the first and second song. The middle song not as much. My Husbands old bar band use too play that one and I got sick of it.

Did you ever see the Verve Pipe around? They are from upper Michigan.
