For me the five where King Crimson, Genesis, Yes, Greenslade, Kraan... Which is significantly different than your list (I know Led Zep, but who are the other four of your list? ;-) > What became of the hundreds of other bands of that era?

But to be serious, there is an equilibrium between being successful and the ability to create quality and develop skills. I came across some unknown acts which delivered highest quality and musicianship, all of them where professional musicians and could make a living, even though they where far away from being "a big act". Some big acts are pushed too early in their career to be able to build up decent skills, and others just give up. For most of them (more likely thousands than hundreds) it was a valuable personal experience, but their disapearence was no loss for the music world. (And the disapearance of countless top acts might also be no loss, though I would insist on maybe 5 of them to stay... ;-) Stefan -- Stefan Tiedje------------x------- --_____-----------|-------------- --(_|_ ----|\-----|-----()------- -- _|_)----|-----()-------------- ----------()--------www.ccmix.com
