This album is pretty impressive. It runs along the lines of guitar driven progressive rock.

This disc is essentially fusion.

Perhaps this isn’t all progressive rock music.

This is definitely progressive music.

You might argue with me putting this under the progressive rock heading. 

I’ve included this new vinyl release under progressive rock.

This is the latest album from Downes Braide Association.

I reviewed the standard version of this album previously.

Most people probably know of Keith Emerson for his work with The Nice and Emerson, Lake and Palmer.

This is the reissue of an album from 1969. Perhaps it’s not progressive rock. It’s psychedelic and really very much proto prog, though.

This single is so cool.

So, maybe this isn’t progressive rock. It’s very much jazz influenced, though.

This is unusual music, but then again, that’s an unusual name for a band.

This album is quite a ride. It’s more of less space rock start to finish, but there is a lot of room within that genre.

Based on H.P. Lovecraft, this album is suitably creepy.

In a lot of ways, this album really is one long work, all interconnected.

I’ve been going through some of my old vinyl and getting things reviewed.

So, this album might be mostly for collectors.

Apparently this album was recorded in the 80s, but has never before been released.

Le folli arie is an Italian band.

I’ve reviewed a couple other albums from this outfit.

First, this is not the band from the UK. This Magenta is based in Norway.

I’m not sure if this really fits under “progressive rock.”

I can see people arguing with this landing under progressive rock.

This is such an intriguing set. Not everything here is progressive rock.

This is an all instrumental (except for some talk box) album.

I can definitely see people arguing with this getting set under progressive rock.

I can see people arguing with this getting placed under progressive rock.

This album might not be progressive rock. Most of it is fusion, though.

This new compilation album seems a great way to sample Billy Sherwood’s solo output.

I like pretty much everything Billy Sherwood does.

I like this act a lot. There is a cool mix of sounds here.

I know that Al Stewart has never considered himself progressive rock.

As I’ve mentioned in my other reviews of his music, Al Stewart doesn’t believe that he’s prog rock.

Dave Sturt is probably best known as a member of Gong and Bill Nelson’s band.

I am sure I’ll get an argument with some readers about putting this under progressive rock.

I consider this album to be prog rock. I’m sure there are plenty of prog purists who will disagree, but honestly, I can’t see it fitting anywhere else.

Martin Turner is best known for his work with Wishbone Ash.

This album has been released under the moniker of just “Han,” but since I previously reviewed one of Han Uil’s discs, I felt that I should include it under his full name.

I don’t know if this is progressive rock or not.

This is a review of the special edition audiophile release of Close to the Edge. This is a great limited edition, numbered CD release.

Going back and catching up on some vinyl releases, this one should be pretty easy to find online.

This is a new, massive box set from Yes. It includes seven complete concerts from 1972.

This is very much traditional progressive rock. Sure, there are some bits of world music, fusion and space rock here.

More or less a heavy metal album, this does have a lot of leanings toward AOR mainstream music.

The latest disc from Thor features a lot of exceptional guests.

This album is not for everyone. That’s for sure.

This probably qualifies as heavy metal, but it’s more on the modern pop side of that equation.

This high quality red vinyl edition is limited to 500 numbered copies, so get yours quickly.

This is basically pop music, if you need a short description.

Although I wouldn’t call this set “great,” I’d say it’s pretty darned good.

This is a pop styled album. It’s modern in texture, but still has a bit of a classic texture.

I like this outfit quite a bit. Their music has a real timeless quality.

This is quite an intriguing set. We get Pat Boone paired with a lot of different artists for classic R&B tunes.

I remember borrowing this on vinyl from a friend many years ago.

I remember Cutting Crew from their hey day.

This rocking disc lands in the neighborhood of 80s metal.

So, you’ve never heard of Delta Deep? There’s a really good chance you’ve heard of some of the people involved in the group.

This album is very much a message kind of release.

The music on this disc is raw punk rock. It’s high energy, full of angst and very tasty.

This reissue of David Essex’ self-titled debut rather surprised me.

Overall, I like this act a lot. They have a great melodic vocal concept with some hard rocking sounds.

This album is basically a “kid’s” album.

Bluesy rock music is the concept here.

These guys have created an intriguing set here.

This new single has been released ahead of a new album.

This three CD box set is expansive, both in terms of the amount of music and the scope of the sounds.

This is probably closest to something like Billy Joel.

There is quite an unusual mix of sounds here.

This is an album by a blues guitar player who has been building quite a reputation for himself.

There is a very wide range of music on this album.

I absolutely love this EP. My only complaint is that I wish there was more of it.

Nathan Mathes, a Wisconsin based singer/songwriter with a handful of self-released collections to his credit, has released his latest effort, Anajune Rival.

This instrumental set has a lot of blues edge to it.

The blend of sounds on here is quite cool.

There’s a big movement toward roots music right now. It’s not quite what you’d call “the thing,” but it’s certainly trendy.

This isn’t a live disc at all. That’s a bit confusing, but also kind of a cool little twist on the title scenario.

This four song EP is entertaining.

This is generally in the vicinity of modern pop rock.

This EP features some great psychedelic rock. .

This album is extremely strong.

With a wide range of sounds, this is modern pop music, but twisted in a very different way.

This album has a lot of great songs.

This is quite an effective modern rock set. The only real problem is that taken as a whole album, it has a tendency toward feeling a bit monolithic.

This is an intriguing set. There is a real classic element at play, but they make a lot of wiggle room around that.

The vocals are the main thing here. In fact, there is a lot of acapella music on this album.

I love the blend of jazz, soul that we get here.

Thematically, this is definitely music for thinking persons.

There are two songs here that make the whole thing worth having.

If you dig Black Stone Cherry, you should love this set.

This set was filmed during Eric Clapton’s 70^th birthday tour.

Lady Antebellum is a great act. They are part country and part pop rock.

Jaco Pastorius is one of the most important bass players of all time. He’s certainly one of the most influential.

This is such a cool set. For starters, it’s a great live performance. When you consider that this was actually filmed for broadcast at the time, that tells you the quality is good.

This release was inevitable.  All the talk of “last tour” while never calling it a farewell tour made it a no-brainer to film what probably is Rush’s last tour.  

The first thing to mention here, for those of us who are English speakers, this documentary is in The Scorpions’ native German.

If you come into this expecting a typical rock documentary, you are likely to be disappointed. Yet, in some ways, this is really so much more.

In 1968 Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention filmed a band rehearsal at the Beat Club in Germany.

To some degree, this book reminds me a bit of Bill Bruford’s recent autobiography/memoir.
