I liked what I heard of ELP, although I didn't hear that much.
Jethro Tull was available to me, but I admit now that I didn't give them a lot of good attention. Enjoy it now, which is fun, since I've been listening to it as 'new' music.
Pink Floyd was interesting with me. I thought Dark Side of the Moon was brilliant when I first heard it. I was inspired to pick up a few others, which I liked, but not as much. For my money, The Wall was their high water mark imho, and I realize many fans would disagree with me there.
I tried some of the older stuff, and I have the catalogue now, in some form or other, but it didn't really impact me in any great way.

I liked prog as a teenager, Yes, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Kansas, Pink Floyd at times, bits of Jethro Tull were sort of proggy, even Wishbone Ash ventured into that territory.Sometimes I will listen to that stuff, but usually only when it pops up on the mp3 list randomly.

Tubular Bells is the extent of my cd Oldfield collection.
On vinyl I have more, just haven't worked my way that far yet on this
ripping project.
I truly have no rhyme nor reason to my ripping order.
The latest grouping have been Ian Gillan related. I have lots of Ian
Gillan Band and Gillan group on vinyl. Nice music, quite varied in
style with nothing really Purplish in style. As I move through his
catalogue it will begin to get harder edge.
