Emerson Lake and Palmer. In division one of progressive rock bands around 1972. At one point in the UK is was then, Floyd Genesis.

Are you being encyclopedic? And what is your cut off point. This part 2 boomer b1958 Saw people like Ian Drury, XTC etc. not hippy but definitely my era. If you are looking earlier. Edgar Broughton Band

, Groundhogs, RobinTrower, Van Der Graaf Generator are a few more

Ah, ELP, added to the to do list.

I don't have a rigid criteria, but generally speaking 60s and 70s. Mostly 65 to 75. After 75 it's less hippy, and more just regular rock.

I'm working on the new album section now, it's 65 to 75. A lot to go yet on that.

Not looking these up in your list but a couple more I didn't recall seeing. Free, Lindisfarne, Bad Company..... Interesting tours is a US centric list whereas all those came from the UK .... A time before the global village existed!

Free sounds familiar. Not Lindisfarne though. Bad Company is on the list, I recall doing them.

I created the band lists from memory and ChatGPT. I'm sure I'm missing all kinds of things. Finishing what I've already started is gonna take forever though... :-)

Also how about from your side of the water 15.60.75 Numbers Band. Their track Jimmy Bell is the best live recording I've ever heard.....

Ah, Patti Smith. I never really connected with her, so she didn't come to mind. Will take another look. I think Mountain is in the list, gotta have the Mississippi Queen!

I'm hoping to have a page for each band member eventually, but there are a LOT of those.

Thanks for taking a look. Let me know who else I might be missing.
