I'm found of King Crimson as well; from Lark's tongues to Red, very nice they all are.
I am also very keen on Jethro Tull, slightly different to King Crimson though.

King Crimson has seen a lot of very talented musicians come and go but always producing some great albums. Fripp from the beginning with KC, believe he is still with them!

Jethro Tull is a favorite too, Songs from the Wood is a great album, so was proceeding next release Heavy Horses.

Progressive-rock-jazz fusion was something I began to lean toward early on perhaps with some bands 40 years ago like King Crimson, and Yes along with ELP would fit into that category perhaps.

VOID Linux Openbox (crowz configs)
URxvt + neofetch + pianobar
wallpaper speaks for its self!

Don't particularly like rolling releases but VOID has been a really a great experience. Much like Arch, systemd-free, uses runit and easy to install and learn, but is a 4.18 kernel and a few minor bugs... it is an alpha release. Nothing that can't be worked around!

Thanks zephyr for the Ten Years After reference, I think all their studio albums its on my shelves!

Miss having a turntable and viny, just envious!
Alvin Lee is one of my most favorite guitarists, ...like this album!

Ten Years After
Cricklewood Green
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XI5ehdjkq4U

M, Bloomfield, Al Kooper, Steven Stills: Super Session:

That is a great album, happed by it on YT before, giving it a listen now!

John Mayall is truly an under-rated great blues-guitarist, have a small collection of CD's!
Mayall, Clapton, Ginger Baker, Winwood, Jim Capaldi all crossed paths in one super-group or another.

Steve Winwood is a favorite, came across him when he was with Spencer Davis Group, Blind Faith, and of course Traffic!

Fact is, most of my prized listening pleasure comes from the Yardbirds! Clapton, Page, and Beck all played with the band at one point as basist, lead. or both!

Fan of British influence with American Blues, so many to list but fueled most of the so-called Super Groups of the 1960's-1970's!

Alvin Lee is an incredible blues guitarist and vocalist!

I tried the latest Void musl based lxde distro and had it working ok for a day or two until my keyboard and mouse stopped working.

Have been fortunate so far everything almost works, installed Ob and all the associated ob features, removed lxde completely, replaced just a few items back with that was removed like pcmanfm, lxappearance. Oblogout is behaving much like Beowulf does with only logout functioning, but can restart or shutdown with lxdm.

Overall the rest works exceptionally well, quite fast and very responsive. No keyboard or mouse issues as of yet. Believe it is an alpha release for VOID.

@ alphalpha: Very cool YT-dl, quick and easy too!

it should also automatically be added to your /usr/local/bin
so you can just type youtube-dl-gui in the terminal to start it

Running Openbox, added

/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl-gui

...to obmenu!

Ops checked and works as advertised!

I use openbox with LXDE and obconf just works. I see that openbox recommends obconf, so it might be that it has not been installed. It should be in /usr/bin/obconf if it has been installed.

My thoughts exactly, not sure if he is creating or using someone else Openbox derivative, think there might even be someone using ob-generator and not the classic menu setup.

Failed to execute child process "obconf" (No such file or directory)

Any idea please ?

Are you adding Openbox or running an Openbox derivative?

Curious, it is suggesting you don't have obconf installed. Running CROWZ ASCII, no issues on this end.

screenie!

kind, zephyr. You have a friend here.

Forums are a great place to expand your horizons, either it be music or Linux configs!
Envious that you have a vinyl collection, wasn't able to keep mine because of frequent moving and storage!

Nice tunes, I like specially Ronnie's Montrose that I didn't know.

Big fan of Montrose! Sammy Hagar was vocals early on!

Thanks a lot! I didnt know that Jeck Beck's jazz-rock stage, I stayed in Yardbirds, and two first albums more straight rock.
By your suggestions I suppose you like Zappa. I am Zappa and Mothers of Invention fan and this is on of my favorite tunes.

Absolutely love Zappa, a pure genius with sound, never bored with listening! Great tune camarillio brillo, thanks!

Yardbirds are an interesting band. Beck, Clapton, and Page all came from the YB and became part of the so-called super-groups! Becks albums Truth and BeckOla are two very good beginnings for Beck. Rod Stewart with vocals on Truth, interesting combination.

A long list of many obscure bands, have heard of a few and very much a fan of Leslie West, mostly from Mountain. Personally, enjoy a lot of different genres but tend to lean toward the progressive-rock-jazz fusion sound,
