    As others noted about Santana, I could do a whole list with Zappa. The one I listed below has some vocals, but like Hocus Pocus, they're used strictly as instruments:

    Tangram, Tangerine Dream. Don't know if it counts as rock as they are massively synth/sequencer driven, but this particular album I've always found to have quite a laid back prog vibe in the style of Floyd. Most of their other stuff is good too - so many movie soundtracks in their back catalogue.

    Checking out this thread on a snow day
    You definitely have the same tastes inmusic as I do

    Forged in the eartly 70s no doubt

    How about these...

    King Crimson..Lark's Tongues in Aspic pt II
    ELP Abbadon's Bolero (with orchestra...off Works Live expanded edition)
    Yes ...Wurm (from Starship Trooper)

    Honorable mention
    Sylvia (not Hocus Pocus!) by Focus
    Chronotheme (Glass Hammer from Chronometree...actuallly from late 90s...not the 70s)
    Genesis The Hairless Heart (off The Lamb...)

    For Led Zep...always preferred Moby Dick to Dazed and Confused

    There's no gay in this thread.



    Funeral For A Friend, yes, there's a bunch of talk about birds outside after that, whatever.

    Not gay, MAGGOT BRAIN. RIP Eddie Hazel.

    Yessssssss. :) :) :)

    I can't believe that ZZ Top never got sued for plagiarism over 'Cheap Sunglasses'. Talk about rip off city. I was like wait, huh, what is this? My confusion was momentary and most likely caused by all the second hand weed smoke in the school bus, but tell me it's not shamelessly blatant. It just is. Maybe there's some inside dope on it that I'm not aware of. Heh. As an aside, I'm glad George Harrison got sued over 'My Sweet Lord' and lost, mostly because it's the worst POS shit song ever written.

    Haha, I know of them. I like the message. The sh!t that goes on with pits where I live is unconscionable. That's the predominant breed that gets the blue juice everyday because of a-hole backyard breeders that should never have been allowed to breed themselves.

    OK, who amongst you couldn't move the needle fast enough to 'Sabbra Cadabra'? I miss all of my old vinyls. I think the entire row of St. Mark's Place made 10K off of me cumulatively back in the day. You'd stick a bunch of albums in a couple of milk crates, cart them on the subway downtown, trade them in, barter like a Persian rug dealer, leave with other albums, make $30 bucks, then hit Utrecht or Pearl Paint. It was an art school mode of art supply survival.
