As evidenced by the general run of the mill posts here at PE, there are many bands getting short shrift.
This speaks of major lacunae in your collections.
Case in point: Perhaps the major transgression is failure to recognize the largest of them all, the massive output of Colossus.
As you know the Unpriviledged and Unknowing are not allowed entry into the celestial pavillions of Pwog; lack of knowledge of prog gobbets as large as Colossus can but compound your sin.
It goes without saying, you would be wise to bathe yourselves in the pure waters of -certainly- over 30 hours worth of Colossus material , free of samplers, drum-machines - indeed it being stipulated that vintage instruments be used.
I myself marvel at the consistency of excellent exhibited in going from one theme set to another, and how many of the lesser-know bands have put their best material out, not on their band cds, but on the projects.
We are talking of sets like:
the 3 Spaghetti Western discs
The Odyssey
Kalevala Epic
Dante's Inferno & Purgatorio
Giallo
Treasure Island
Colossus of Rhodes
etc.
