You brought alot to my attention that i really like:
- King crimson discipline (i like elephant talk)
- Bowie: i loved Lodger, but I have to say 'let's spend the night together was outstanding on Aladdin Sane
- echo your floyd and Genisis. But I do like parts of Duke
- and I like sheik Yer bootie from Zappa.
- didn't like sabbath until recently, and backed into it via Crazy Train and ozzfest
- Hated Sun Ra (maybe due to a guy that really bugged me.... no.. just hated it)
- am really into Focus (eg hocus pokus)
- also the Moody Blues
- Yes to Joy Division too.
- recently it has been good ole Canuckian rock (sam roberts, finger 11, GOB etc etc)
- and i am back into the music of my youth too (primitive punk a la Sham'69, 999, buzzcocks, slits, viletones, diodes)
- I have a love affair for schmalzy '70's ballads. i think Will Ferill has my number.
