Suggestions for Yes and Genesis fans

For those of you who like Yes and Genesis, but aren't quite sure what else is out there on AM:

I suggest:
Porcupine Tree--I heard "Moonloop," last week on AM and was blown away. I downloaded "The Sky Move Sideways" (the album of that song), and I must say this band is unbelievable! Awesome progressive rhythms and lyrics, with a little space-rock synthesizers in the mix, but they also can really rock out, too. You can find it all with this band.

Citizen Cain--Great band for fans of the PG-era Genesis. The vocalists are eerily similar, but the tunes are original, and well done.

Ozric Tentacles--This band reminds me a lot of Yes, in that their music is very spiritual-sounding, much like Jon Anderson's solo work and "Tales from Topographic Oceans."

Spock's Beard &
Transatlantic--Two newer progressive bands that really have a style that is all their own, but who's members are all influenced by the music of Genesis, Yes, and many others. Give these guys a try (more than one listen--some stuff has to grow on you) and you should be satisfied.

And hey, there's always been plenty of Pink Floyd on AM--request till we get another warning! J/K, hehe.

Hope this helps all you prog newbies,

Powerslave
