Yes, PA is a recommended web site in this month's edition of Classic Rock. What with this and a mention on the BBC web site, we're getting quite famous now!

I think the procent can be negociated.

I'm completely unimpressed. 
They only recommended us because we added Metallica.
Aren't Hetfield and Hammett on the cover once about every four months?

along with Zeppers, AC/DC, Thin Lizzy, the occasional old punker like Johnny Rotten. I wish that their seeming definition of "Classic Rock" was followed by the radio stations that proclaim this as their genre.

I have actually talked to the guys in Classic Rock and it seems like they are closet-EGG fans. At least one of them are quite open about it. Yes, I am referring to the Canterbury band with the same name. I think Classic Rock magazine is excellent and I get my fill of music with a combo of them and PA. That's all I need, really.

That's all I need, really I absolutely agree - it is about the only magazine out there that does not treat Prog with disdain and you get to see and hear about a lot of new releases. Long may it continue!

It's true, they do feature a fair amount of prog, without talking down about it like most of the music press. And they did vote Tinyfish in their top albums of the year!

Snakes & Ladders was voted the second best album of 2007........ just pipped by this Chinese Democracy thingy who was not even out then. The guys in Classic Rock is OK and should be treated as friends by PA. Classic Rock has run at least two progressive rock special issues. Both of them are superb. They also feature new prog rock bands on their CDs. I had a look in my magazine rack and I also found one Prog Rock special issue by the extreme metal magazine Terrorizer Mag. They too treat prog rock with a healthy dose of respect and admiration.
