My son is making me use an D&D website because he noticed how much I was cheating when I rolled the dice.
How many Illinois songs are there? Champaign.
Sufjan Stevens did an entire album with multiple Illinois themed tracks:

I was introduced to the German band Eloi a couple weeks ago. Really enjoying their late 70s and early 80s work. I can't think of another band with such loud keyboards, and I like the self-important pomposity of the song concepts, combined with the songs themselves not having the constant tempo changes and showoff solos that I associate with prog bands. Now wondering if this is also what Jethro Tull and Emerson Lake & Palmer and various other bands I always avoided like the plague sound like, and I've been stereotyping them.
Update: I think Uriah Heep also had extremely loud keyboards but I avoided them even more than Jethro Tull because their name is even stupider and they have like 45 albums. Does anyone have an objective assessment of Uriah Heep to offer?
Deep Purple were big on the loud keyboards, too. A lot of what sound like guitar riffs on those songs are keys.
More keys focused:

Less keys focused but the drums are great:

9: ELP definitely has the showoff solos. Early Tull is pretty good.
