This album, from 1978, found former collaborators Brian Auger and Julie Tippets (formerly Driscoll) working together again.

This is the latest album from French artist Patrick Broguière. The music is definitely progressive rock, but perhaps not always a completely tight fit.

This band dates back all the way to the 1960s. This recording is from 2021.

This band has such an intriguing sound. They mix modern, more hard rocking things with classic prog elements and more.

This release is not progressive rock precisely. It is definitely progressive music.

This album is so intriguing. It features a live performance of music that has a lot of jazz at its core.

Djabe and Steve Hackett have worked together quite a bit over the years. The world jazz act and former Genesis guitarist who has pursued a brilliant solo career for a long time work really well together.

When it comes to a band that has been around since the 1960s and released somewhere in the neighborhood of three dozen studio albums, it seems natural that a trademark sound would emerge.

This album is all about instrumental collaboration and exploration.

Kraan are a long-running progressive rock band from Germany. This live set from 1975 has recently been released.

I have to say that for my money Planet X was (and I say "was" because I doubt they'll ever do any music again, but I'd love to be proven wrong) one of the best instrumental acts ever.

Arnaud Quevedo and Friends have done it again.

I love Renaissance. Their particular brand of more organic and folk oriented prog is effective and inventive.

Soft Machine has such a history of creating compelling jazz leaning music. This new album fits well within that legacy.

To some degree you know what you will get with a new Strawbs album. David Cousins' vocals and songwriting are well established.

This might be an odd choice for progressive rock. I think it fits, though.

This new set includes a CD and DVD of a concert that was recorded for the BBC in 1981. It should be noted that the DVD (and CD) include three songs that were cut from a VHS release of the concert.

I've put this act under progressive rock both because they think of themselves as a prog band, and because I think they are a modern prog outfit.

The whole get a bunch of musicians together and record covers of an entire album thing is something I really like.

Tribute albums like this are always interesting, but also often disappointing.

I need to get some conventions out of the way at the start of this. 

The mellow sounds here are in keeping with the kind of music I've learned to expect from him. World music, new age and fusion are all at play.

This gets placed under progressive rock strictly because of the Yes connections.

Let me say that I'm a Yes fanatic. I collect everything from the band, and in various formats.

This is a new double CD set from a Swedish death metal band that I hadn't heard before. It includes their first two albums, each featuring a bonus track that happen to be covers. .

Deicide is an unusual act for me. In general I don't like death and black metal bands much.

I have heard of this band being called "hard rock," rather than metal. There is some merit to that.

I don't think I had ever heard of this band before, although this is their reincarnation. I had no real expectations for this album for that reason.

This new collection from Raven gathers up two live albums, from different decades and puts them with a CD of covers.

I'm a huge Black Sabbath fan. That makes me a bit of a sucker for doom.

Mot?ö?rhead was, in so many ways, a unique band. A large part of that came from the man, the legend, himself Lemmy Kilmister.

Angel really created an interesting sound for themselves in the 1970s. It was part hard rock, part catchy pop hooks, part glam and a lot of arena rock.

Sometimes less is more. I think that would be the case here. There isn't a bad song here.

This is an album recorded in the early days of punk rock. The band ranged in age from 13 to 17 at the time.

This retrospective box set from Girlschool really captures the various flavors of the band. I know I said, "box set," but it is called a book set because it comes in a cool book, rather than a gravitational box.

If you are a fan of folk rock, country rock and other traditionally based melodic music, there will be plenty to like about this.

This new 45-RPM vinyl record from Bear Family is great. It deals up several tracks from an important artist on one record.

This posthumous release from Ben E. King includes a number of re-cut versions of his songs. I think that some of these work really well.

This second album from Ruffyunz might be even stronger than the first. Their blend of funk, hard rock, metal, psychedelia and prog is both familiar and fresh.

This collection of music from a rocker who was seen as potentially becoming competition to Elvis Presley is rather a mixed bag.

This is an absolute classic album. This new double CD set was released, a little late, in honor of the 50th anniversary of its release. 

In the past I've always put Trapeze under progressive rock, in part because people generally land them there, and in part because the music often fit. 

The music on this release is intriguing. It's varied. It has both a forward-looking focus and a basis in classic sounds.

This set is unusual and strangely entertaining. It features rockabilly, surf-guitar and more

This album showcases an artist that is less interested in breaking new ground musically than in doing exceptional work in time-honored traditions.

This is the debut album from Becky Wiles. The one unifying factor on this is her voice.

As far as I'm concerned, when it comes to jazz, you just don't get much better than John Coltrane. I guess I'm probably not going out on a limb with that statement.

I have to admit that, as a resident of Illinois for my entire life, I'm shocked that I never heard of this story before. 

This documentary feels a little like a Wikipedia documentary, but it doesn't seem to be one.
