Van der Graaf Generator, Greenslade, Pink Fairies and Camel
To me these bands are very good, and are the best of prog rock.
Nick<br>Recently, the ghost of Ho Chi Minh was seen wandering the streets of downtown Saigon, and he was wearing a Pink Floyd t-shirt.

I have listened to some Van der Graaf Generator on Pandora.com, I like the sound.

Not heard much of the Pink Fairies tho and nothing of Camel

VDGG were absolutely one of a ind, indebted to no-one that I can think of... sometimes it all got a bit too intense for me, but PAWN HEARTS is a classic.

Greenslade were still doing the rounds a few years ago, playing clubs sanswiched in between tribute bands - they may still be for all I know!

I never really thought of the Pink Fairies as being prog... more of a prog/heavy kind of blend. 

Camel I could never get into.

How about Caravan?  Anyone remember them?  Absolutely one of my favourite 70s prog bands, and they've also done some fine stuff since they reunited in 1991... in fact, they've been active for longer since they reformed than they were originally, which is somehow a scary thought.  ;D  Try IF I COULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN I'D DO IT ALL OVER YOU, IN THE LAND OF GREY AND PINK (arguably their finest), BACK TO FRONT (a splendid final shot totally ignored when it appeared during the punk era) and, from more recent times, THE UNAUTHORISED BREAKFAST ITEM.

From what I remember of 1973(ish) Pink Fairies-Neverneverland was not a bad album.
  My copy was nicked at a party one night,I do remember though that it was on pink vinyl.

Has any one got a copy of "Pentateuch Of The Cosmology" by Dave Greenslade?

I had a copy on vinyl many many moons ago, I seem to remember it was a SiFi based album with a book, but for the life of me I cant find any trace of it now and I cant find a copy on the net.
