The first is Robin Trower who first came to fame with the rock group Procol Harem and later made quite an impression with his own brand of power and introspective poetry.

His "Bridge of Sighs" album was outstanding. Saw him and Jethro Tull decades ago at either Shea Stadium or Madison Square Garden. Can't recall which (for 'good' reasons!)

Many dittos on Bridge of Sighs. I think that's a bit to do why I associate these two guys. When Gilmour was with Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon was a revolutionary effort that was different from anything we'd heard - reminiscent of what the Beatles did culture wise with Sgt Pepper. Trower did that with 'Bridge". The first time I heard it every cut was like, "Oh my gosh". Bridge of Sighs was 'huge' in the way it sounded and then "Too rolling Stoned" took me by surprise at ..."I think I'll just sit this one out...". I remember playing it and having friends ask, "who is THAT?"
