Interesting read, but aside from those rarities listed at the end, nothing really new for anyone who's already a pretty decent prog fan. Might be a good introduction for someone getting their feet wet though.
I will say, they incorrectly listed Hipgnosis as the artist on Rush's Hemispheres. Any major Rush fan knows Hugh Syme has done all their album covers from Caress Of Steel through the present. But any article on a major website attempting to cover that much ground is bound to have mistakes.

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

I don't find myself agreeing with you often, but yeah "indulgence" definitely caught my eye in the wrong way. Prog is art. It can be about "indulgence," but even Rush sounded pretty tongue in cheek when they gave that subtitle to La Villa Stangiato.

Hi, Thx. My biggest worry with the identification with "songs", is that it is not exactly looked at as "art", unless, of course (how van we miss that?) it is a huge number one song in all the polls from here to the moon! While I believe that many folks, even here, are really well versed in the quantity and quality of the music, my concern is that an article like that can not even look at BANCO and realize ... wait a minute ... there is no indulgence there! And even AD2, which was different in almost every album. Their indulgence? Not giving a damn about what we thought which is an artist's prerogative. Thus I look at all the music as valuable and important, not just a song that got a number 55 years ago, and that we NOW think was indulgent. I don't think that term will go far in the annals of music history!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

It's a noble attempt to create a coehesive mini-history of prog but just doesn't capture the magnanimous and diverse nature of prog's origins.

Meh. It seems to be a bit light on anything past the seventies. Also, that's the first time I've seen the Enid referred to as "neo prog."
