Ditto. I feel like a traitor to JM, JMc, RH, RT, SD, RW and NY. And that's just for starters. And no, that's not Rick Wakeman.

Spirit. Good call. Could probably do a different one of these daily. Still haven't got Spirit Of 76 or anything after 12 Dreams (well Feedback but that doesn't count)but love those first 4 albums. Never did get Gong except for Camembert Electrique...
Spirit of 76 and Future Games are their best two albums IMO.
Gong do seem to polarise people.

Julian Cope
Ben Chasny (Six Organs, Comets on Fire, Rangda etc)
Hector Berlioz
Now the last on the list is a recent discovery and may be a cop out but after Chasny emerged atop lots of other possibilities as a 2nd choice, the 3rd was more problematic so I plumped for Berlioz. I've been collecting quotes from his memoirs:
On conducting his Mass of the Dead: "The chorus received the orchestral onslaught without flinching; the fourfold fanfare pealed forth from the four corners of the stage, the air shook with the roll of ten pairs of drumsticks and the tremolo of fifty bows unleashed..."
On conducting his own music in general:
"His right arm unleashes tremendous chords which go off like explosions...And in the long adagios the bliss of floating on a lake of serene harmony while a hundred soft voices intertwined chant his love songs... If he has felt his heart thrill to the touch of the poetry and the melody of the music, has sensed within him the secret fire that is the soul's incandescence, his goal is attained, the heaven of art is opened to him..."
Rock n Roll!
