Classic Rock's "Prog Rock" Magazine

I got the new Yes issue yesterday. Not bad, with new interviews of most of the personnel which could have been a little more detailed IMO.

My B&N just TODAY got the Roger Waters issue in stock...I snagged it of course...haven't opened it yet, but I will pop that CD in here pretty soon.

Dang, in the US we're still waiting for the Roger Waters issue.  (Unless my store stopped carrying it).

OK the new Prog mag is available somewhere but I am yet to see it on shelf

ISSUE 6 contents

I got hold of the ELP issue last month and eagerly awaiting the Rush issue. To be honest the ELP issue was not as good as others such as the Peter Gabriel ISSUE. I still think the PROG mags are excellent value as the CD has some great material and the magazine is jam packed with prog unlike other mags that may only have 10 percent prog and the rest rubbish.

Two posts that deserve to get put on the front page of the PA website. It would be difficult not to agree with every word said. Thanks guys
