    An ecclectic hour of Progressive Rock on local NPR Station

    Well, this is a little early but I wanted to allow people to plan for it, and I will bump this thread a couple times to remind people: A couple of my buddies and I have started a tradition. The local NPR station does bi-annual fundraisers (as most NPR stations do) and if you donate at a...

    Distorted Harmony

    I didn't see anyone posting about this Progressive Metal band from Israel, so I thought I'd do the honors. Over at Metal Music Archives this album has gotten 3 five star reviews in a row, and what's amazing about it is that it's a FREE download: Distorted Harmony

    Sales Numbers for Albums?

    So there is a debate going on in another forum I'm on - people over there seem to think that Prog Metal is not all that big of a character in the Prog world. I think they have no idea what they're talking about, but I have no idea how to prove it with sales numbers - does anyone know how you'd...

    Prog Power Radio Plug

    Two of my buddies and I have done a yearly "Progressive Rock Hour" radio show at the local NPR radio station, NPR. The night time DJ there, Tommy, has really enjoyed our show, and last time we saw him he told us we could visit and hang out any time. So we called him up and asked him if we...

    ProgArchives

    So there is a site called ProgArchives that is kinda like the Wikipedia of Prog. It's like a gigantic database of all kinds of progressive music. It also contains a forum, and if you have set up an account there, you can rate albums on the main page. For some reason Progressive Metal never makes...

    Most influential Prog Bands

    What bands would you say are the most influential bands in the Progressive Rock genre for each decade starting with the 70's? I'm especially interested in hearing what people would say about the 2000's and on - it seems like when you get that close to today, it's hard to really say who has been...

    Weirdest/Rarest Album in your collection?

    I just had this weird whim to look into Japanese prog. I figured there's gotta be some out there. And that got me thinking what other weird/rare stuff people out there might own? So what is the rarest/weirdest album in your collection?

    Prog Definition

    This may be covered in an older thread, my apologies if it is. But I'm wondering: what is your definition of the word "progressive", when it's used in the phrase "progressive rock"? I've often heard people say "this band is progressive" or "this band is NOT progressive" and I start wondering if...

    Progressive Radio Show?

    For the last two years, me and two buddies have done a yearly radio show with the local NPR station. To raise money for the station they sell an hour of radio time for people to play dj for an hour. So we've done a progressive rock hour twice now and had a blast doing it. We stay mostly on...

    Songs from in between bands?

    Do they post a list of the stuff the play in between all the bands anywhere? There were some things I hadn't heard of that sounded pretty good.
