Check out the old Genesis with Peter Gabriel from the 70’s (The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway), old Wishbone Ash, Gentle Giant, Blind Faith, Cream, The Nazz, Todd Rundgren, John Mayall (blues) to name a few.
Greatest album ever.
I really like the bands I mentioned because they have a reputation for working with the very best musicians around.
Honestly, I couldn't play a note if I had to, but I enjoy experiencing what many people consider 'The Best'.
Would it be OK for us to plug Little Feat into this list as well? With the added bonus that 2 of the original members of Little Feat (Roy Estrada and Lowell George) were just prior to the release of LF’s 1st record members of Zappa’s band.
The trick to finding more of this type of genre (rock/jazz-fusion) is to read the liner notes and see who played in the band. Back in the day, many of these guys worked with each other.
For example: King Crimson's bassist, Tony Levin, nows collaborates with Peter Gabriel, who used to be in Genesis. Bill Bruford, who has done stints as the drummer for King Crimson, has also played/toured with Genesis, as well as been a drummer for Yes.
By doing internet searches on particular band members, you'll find a whole host of new music that you never knew existed.
