Long-Lived Spiritual Super Music Groups I've listened to most close

among them who started in the 60's or 70's, and remaining long enough to make seven albums or more. Many bands can do one super record, but few have done seven really good over time.

To be represented I should have heard at least three albums very thoroughly (and four more listened through). I also present one song of each band that I've returned to most often.

Most groups I choose worked in the fields of progressive rock or synth, with some supernatural themes. So I symbolise each one through the Major Arcana of tarot cards:






21. Universe

CAMEL
The Snow Goose /La Princesse Perdue



20. Judgement

VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR
The Undercover Man



19. Sun

BEATLES
The Fool On The Hill



18. Moon

TRAFFIC
Paper Sun



17. Star

ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA [ELO]
Livin' Thing



16. Tower (or House of God)

GENESIS
Mad Man Moon



15. Devil

ALICE COOPER
Poison



14. Temperance

URIAH HEEP
Wise Man



13. Death

THE STRANGLERS
Skin Deep



12. Hanged Man

PROCOL HARUM
The Dead Man's Dream



11. Justice

ALAN PARSONS' PROJECT
The Turn of a Friendly Card



10. Wheel of Fortune

QUEEN
In The Lap of The Gods



9. Hermit

ULTRAVOX
Visions in Blue



8. Strength

ABBA
Suzy-Hang-Around



7. Chariot

BEE GEES
I've Gotta Get a Message To You



6. Lovers

RAJ MONTANA BAND (dan hylander and py bäckman)
Och allt jag rymmer
["And everything I have room for"]



5. Hierophant

YES
Awaken



4. Emperor

ALPHAVILLE
Forever Young



3. Empress

THE KINKS
Shangri-La



2. High Priestess

SUPERTRAMP
Babaji



1. Magician

ROXY MUSIC
Ladytron



0. Fool

THE WHO
I'm Free










Groups has to consist of more than two members, so I'm sorry to exclude Simon & Garfunkel, Sparks and many more. Alan Parsons' Project occurs though since the duo always invites other musicians/singers, and are far too spiritual to be outside of this. (Also for example motown, supernice singers don't composing or playing themselves, has to be on other lists.)
