Description

Progressive Rock was a revolutionary music genre that emphasized flashy musicianship and wild experimentation. In the wake of the psychedelic 60s, Prog Rock would scale the heights of commercial and critical success. Its star burned brightly, but only five years later it was in terminal decline, destined to be lost to the sands of time. Join your host Ian Prise and his guests each week as we trace the rise and fall of Prog Rock, album by album.
