	Give Me That Old Time Prog Rock
		As much as some prog enthusiasts may not want to admit it, and despite all that has happened in progressive rock since then, the vast majority of the best progressive rock was recorded in the first half of the ‘70s.
		Prog rock, on the other hand, can come in a wide variety of combinations of characteristics and still be recognizable as prog.
		It seems that the revival has elevated prog rock to a higher plane than it was in the late ‘80s (possibly permanently) but it never again did – and never will – approach the heights of popularity and creativity it did when prog was new.

	S. T. Karnick on Snow by Spock's Beard on National Review Online
		Rock criticism has always extolled lyrics, artistic personae, emotional directness, and visual presentation because those are things a writer can observe without having studied music.
		Progressive rock, or prog, has been largely derided by critics throughout the three decades since it hit the scene in the early 1970s.
		Such overt Christianity is in fact quite common among the current crop of progressive rock artists; all the second-wave bands mentioned earlier here have been increasingly explicit about their spiritual beliefs during the past decade, with Glass Hammer, Echolyn, and Dream Theater leading the way.

	ATTEMPTING TO EXPLAIN THE OUTCAST: The Tenacity of Prog Rock
		Not that respect dictates musical value, but Progressive (or prog) rock is one of the least regarded genres in the vast world of rock music.
		For some, prog rock equals pretension and pomposity - pansy virtuosos singing of wizards and moons and laying down pseudo-classical epics, all the while emitting a nauseating aura of gaudy 'high culture.' This caricature is greatly exaggerated, but not without some truth.
		First of all, prog is possibly the broadest genre in the expansive realm of rock 'n roll.

		Progressive rock and art rock are two almost interchangeable terms describing a mostly British attempt to elevate rock music to new levels of artistic credibility.
		In fact, many prog bands were fond of crafting concept albums that made unified statements, usually telling an epic story or tackling a grand overarching theme.
		In addition to pushing rock's technical and compositional boundaries, prog-rock was also arguably the first arena where synthesizers and electronic textures became indispensable parts of a rock ensemble.

	Prog-rock is not dead...it just smells funny
		With its classical and jazz underpinnings, progressive rock was thought to be a style with the sort of timeless qualities that would make it last as a popular form of music.
		I spoke with Covach at ProgDay '97, the annual prog-rock festival held near Chapel Hill, where he explained that the decline of prog-rock was precipitated by the advent of new wave, punk, and disco music in the late 70's...
		But I'm troubled by some of the splintering already that is within the progressive community: 'the neo-progs are not as good as the retro-progs or the fusion- progs.' This progs.

		A new generation of bands is redefining progressive rock in the post-punk era.
		It's about rock bands that accommodate only one level of listening attention, which is full immersion (and, in some cases, submission).
		Punk rock was very relevant at its onset, and a lot of it was very inspired.

		After that early R&B/blues-based rock model inspired thousands of artists, the genre began to expand and subdivide endlessly.
		Over the course of a few short decades, genres as diverse as garage, psych, surf, folk-rock, glam, prog, punk, New Wave, No Wave, hard rock, metal, industrial, and indie rock have all become recognized and respected, and all fall in some way beneath the "rock" umbrella.
		Stockton, CA's Pavement may well have been the second most influential rock band of the early '90s (after Nirvana), ushering in a new era of convoluted musical structures and rock and roll irony.

		Prog bands are known to combine Rock and Metal sounds with frequent changes in time signature (it's pretty hard to dance to and even getting a good headbaning going can be a challenge) and key signatures.
		Many prog bands do songs about unusual subjects - including the development of the nuclear bomb ("Manhattan Project" - Rush), the debate over the use of stem cells in research ("The Great Debate" - Dream Theater) and even watching the Space Shuttle being launched ("Countdown" - Rush).
		It's also not uncommon for prog bands to create albums centered on a single theme, or even in which all of the tracks are part of a single rock-style opera, telling an entire story through song.

	Prog Rock Corner--Eloy! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Some internal conflict over the band's prog style led to Schriever leaving the group, after which Eloy began the move towards the "space rock" sub-genre of prog, releasing three more albums with this line-up.
		Our Prog Rock Corner selection for 10/27/96 was "Decay of the Logos" from the 1977 album Ocean (an album that also features the challengingly-named track "Atlantis' Agony at June 5th 8498, 13 P.M. Gregorian Earthtime").
		While Eloy are clearly in space rock territory, and are often compared to middle-era Pink Floyd, there is no mistaking the influence of early Rush on this particular track.

	UK70s Prog Rock Greats
		In the 1970s, critics often derided prog as being pretentious, highlighting its excesses while ignoring its unique qualities.
		Prog's often-inspired compositions and superior musicianship were not lost on the millions of fans scooping up albums like "Close to the Edge," "Trick of the Tail" and "Brain Salad Surgery." While punk and disco have not aged well, progressive rock not only survived the 1970s, but still sounds as great today, if not

	BBC - BBC Four Time Shift - Prog Rock
		As a music genre, Prog Rock still finds it difficult to be taken seriously.
		Alex Mackintosh's Time Shift traces the history of Prog Rock as a genre back to the heydays of 1960s psychedelia, seeing how, for many British musicians and fans who had educated themselves on the RandB circuit, musical extemporisation and concept albums were an exciting departure.
		And, for all of punk's blast of much needed fresh air, it's difficult not to have a little sentimentality for a time when musical imagination rather than product sales was a measure of achievement.

		Progressive-rock in the truest sense, BEYOND ROCK features ten of the West Coast's most eclectic ensembles pushing past the limits of formulaic pop to create original, intelligent music for thinking listeners.
		It is a bit difficult to describe ten different styles and bands on a seventy-two minute CD, but the general message here is that progressive music isn't limited to Europe, and that American bands certainly have much to offer people that like progrock with real progressive developments and are interested in musical developments.
		Beyond Rock covers a lot of musical territory, from jazz to rock to a surprisingly aggressive "Dangerous in Deed" by Jam Camp.

		I'm sorry, but Petrucci is about as Prog as they come.
		When we're talking about Neo-Prog rockers like Petrucci who self-consciously approach their music to adhere to the defined stylistic framework laid out by the founders of the style and pretty much declare outright that "we are a Prog band"...
		These bands have evolved and expanded their artistic vision continually, sometimes to the point where they sound nothing like their original incarnation.
