  Caravan, Soft Machine, Comus, and Jethro Tull (the first names that come to mind) must not be missing from a ranking like this. Well done for including Hight Tide and Colosseum even though Valentine Suite is from '69... Look how picky I am XD

  Since I’m blind… no, sorry, since I’m getting old, all this stuff feels like it’s from the 70s (even though some of it came out a bit earlier (and anyway Valentyne Suite was finished on December 30, 1969, at 6:30 PM…)), because I was listening to this stuff back in the 70s, with all those beautiful vinyl records, the Lesa turntable and - for those who could afford it - the Technics platter, Sansui amplifier, and speakers… no, no speakers that cost too much: it was headphones (Koss) or nothing.
  But you’re right about Soft Machine: the Jethro - whom I idolize - were a mix of folk, blues, prog... Caravan were inferior to Hatfield and Comus were too underground. Those I included are also… a ranking of the heart. Imagine that I memorized "dancing with the Moonlight Knight" in 1974 - or thereabouts - and I still remember it to this day!

  Look, I was joking about the Colosseum XD... For my personal taste, Caravan is superior to Hatfield and the North, but we're still talking about 2 great prog bands, so it's understandable that you might prefer the latter.
