What is progressive rock?!
Question:
What is progressive rock?
My dad said it when talking about Jethro Tull. He loves the band and I do also. What are some other really good progressive rock bands?
Answers:
Well, sounds like your dad has a collection you could dive right into. There's much debate over "what is prog rock?", but the Wiki' definition should be enough.
Listen to some:
Yes
Rush (1975- 1980)
Van Der Graaf Generator
Tull
Pink Floyd
ELP
Genesis (1970- 1977)
King Crimson
Gentle Giant
Those are The Big Names that would give you a good idea of what classic era prog sounds like.
*Current* prog bands would include Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, Spock's Beard etc....
