I'm lucky to have been raised in my family. Parents that grew up in the late sixties +doing a lot of drugs = Dizik having been raised listening to great music. Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, Alan Parsons Project, Led Zeppelin, E.L.O, Jefferson Airplane, etc.
Wish you were here, is there anybody out there?, run like hell, welcome to the machine, any colour you like and tons of other great tracks-agreed I like alot of their stuff because some of the extended instrumentals seem both relaxing and artistically mind-bending (if that's possible )
My parents weren'y very vocal with there musical tastes so I've recently discovered alot of this great classic rock like Led, The Doors, AC/DC etc. on my own. I just picked up guitar as well and having never played an instrument i can say so far it is both challenging and exhilerating.

I've found I like Pink Floyd covers better then the originals. I'm not sure why that is.

I suggest you check out Dub Side of the Moon by the Easy Star All Stars. Unless you hate reggae.

Which version of Kubuntu? And by "not using ALSA" do you mean you've removed PulseAudio?
Edit: Well, there does seem to be a problem with ogg123's ALSA output on Kubuntu 11.10, at least. When I try it, the sound is very distorted. Have you tried sending its output through PulseAudio instead (-d pulse option)?

It's a friggin' amazing album, unfortunately the singer on the album left the band shortly after its release. What I've heard from the new singer singing the "old" material just doesn't sit well with me.The new Animals As Leaders album. Metal just doesn't get any more jazzy than this.
Also been listening to a lot of Periphery. I guess my recent Dream Theater show has brought back my interest in the technical side of music. Anyone have any good recommendations for more prog metal bands, specifically the ones that fit heavily into jazz fusion?
