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:

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.)
