Porcupine Tree
Progressive rock that's accessible and exquisitely crafted. The best modern rock being made today.

Marillion
This band perhaps more than any other has been the soundtrack to my life. They're still going strong.

Steely Dan
I rarely play them on the station but about once a month it's Steely Dan Day at my house. An enduring favorite.

Mahavishnu Orchestra
This music makes my brain happy. The complexity of their music is mind boggling.

Jethro Tull
The perfect blend of rock, folk, blues, jazz, and classical. I prefer their folkier stuff.
