[Rick and Roll]

Good point about the Kansas - the difference of course, is the involvement of Mr. Livgren.

About the MMEB - I really like Nightingales and Bombers. That's my favorite MMEB.

You could almost do a underrated/ pleasant surprise for every band. for instance, Tull could be "A" for underrated, and "Broad Sword" for pleasant surprise. Black Sabbath could be "Dehumanizer" for underrated, and "Heaven and Hell" for ps. I won't get into Rush again with the Grunge of Vapor Trails. If you want to throw out a band every week, etc. I'm game.

An all-time underrated could be "Open Fire" by Montrose. And believe it or not, I find "The Serpent is Rising" and "Man of Miracles" by Styx very underrated. "Black Noise" by FM, "Unfolded", by Discipline, where does one stop?

Very interesting about the Snow CD. I have only heard it once, and found it very cool. Maybe a prog classic in 1978 - in 1974 there would have been way too much competition.

I have the self-titled Aviator album. It makes a wonderful frisbee. However, I defer to you Keith, as I have never seen them live.
