At Music Street Journal we land fusion under progressive rock. My reasoning is that the very exploratory nature of the music fits and the two styles share a lot of fans.

Clint Bahr has been covered at Music Street Journal previously as part of the group Tripod. This is his new solo album.

This new set is a double CD with bonus DVD. It captures a concert that feels more like an event than just a gig.

I had heard Kate Bush before the Hounds of Love album, but it was that disc that made me a fan. I still consider that set to be a masterpiece and her best release.

This disc was recorded by a quartet of musicians led by Graham Dechter who plays some amazing guitar.

Let me say upfront that this is not Electric Light Orchestra's best, not by a lot. Also, if I were judging just on this album, it wouldn't go under prog.

Gayle Ellett first came to my attention through his band Djam Karet.

I suppose this could fall under non-prog as folk rock. I would say that there is enough progressive rock here, to land it where I have, though.

These days the idea of people playing live with loops and other triggered backing tracks is not revolutionary at all.

Based just on the music here, this set would not land under progressive rock. Some of it does quality as proto-prog, though.

If you like melodic prog that leans on the AOR side of the equation, you are likely to enjoy this release. It's a solid set that has some moments of sheer brilliance.

Cherry Red has put together this new remastered edition of Jade Warrior's second album. It includes the full album along with one bonus, track, an alternate take of one of the songs.

I don't think anyone will argue with me if I say that A Passion Play is Jethro Tull's most ambitions and prog rock based album.

I am sure there are those who would argue that this doesn't belong under progressive rock. That's a valid stance.

Gabriel Keller is a musician from France, and this solo album showcases his particular flavor of progressive rock.

I have previously reviewed two albums from Mahogany Frog. Neither prepared me for this. An instrumental album, this is often dark.

I know a lot of people disregard these later Moody Blues albums. I happen to have a special attraction to them because Patrick Moraz is on them, bringing a Yes connection.

This new set from Cherry Red is the first official release of ...Sounds Like This available for some time. The album was the third they recorded, but it was unusual.

I've included this set under prog because of the artsy angle and the fusion elements.

Pink Floyd's Ummagumma is a really strange album. I don't think anyone will disagree with that.

The Prog Collective releases compelling progressive rock album after album.

Queen was really such an intriguing band. They were never really easy to pin down stylistically.

The music on this 2020 release is pure magic. It's a near perfect combination of progressive rock and fusion.

I've reviewed another set from this act in the current issue of Music Street Journal. I'm not sure which set by them I like better.

This is an unusual release. It's not a hard sell under progressive rock, although a lot of it does fit there.

With musical references that reach from modern progressive rock to Gothic rock and much more, this is unique and inventive.

You just can't go wrong with Stick Men. The band is made up of Tony Levin, Pat Mastelotto and Markus Reuter.

If you like instrumental electronic music you are likely to enjoy this.

This band bore the name of its lead singer Toyah Willcox.

I've landed this act under prog rock. That's largely because of the "art rock" nature of it.

This three CD set is pretty amazing stuff. It was compiled by Dave Brock, and as such you have to figure that it's packed full of space rock.

I previously reviewed another disc from Nate Wooley. That one was unusual because it was one 45-minute piece of music.

Chuck Wright is a bass player. Since this is his project, you can expect some great bass work.

While some of this is purely instrumental, there are tracks with vocals. This is a short set, running just about 21 minutes.

An almost completely instrumental album, if anyone has an argument about Frank Zappa landing under prog rock, they really need to listen to this.

This is a new reissue of the first album from Carnivore. It includes three bonus demo songs and an extensive booklet.

There is a lot of Gothic metal on this set. There is also a lot of electronic music.

Prowler is a band that originally came to prominence as part of the NWOBHM. Their sound is definitely tied to that era.

This is a new album from a band that was a part of the NWOBHM movement, or more accurately was caught up in that movement despite pre-dating it.

The metal on this album is brutal, and the vocals are extreme. It has some strong music on the set.

I only discovered this band a few months ago. I think it's a shame that I never heard of them before.

The modern R&B sounds on here are effective. The best part of this set would be the vocals.

If you like your rock with a lot of country music in the mix, this might be just the musical entre for you.

This is quite an unusual set.

This is an effective disc that has some really shining moments.

This band, and this album, are interesting. The sound is quite retro, yet there is a modern edge.

You might not have heard of Stomp Gordon before. He was a jump blues artist from Ohio, and this set from Bear Family presents his entire catalog that he recorded.

I previously reviewed another set from this act. I landed that one under prog, but this one definitely doesn't fit there.

This is the second set I've reviewed from Peggy James. I think I prefer this one to the other.

This is the third release from Joshua Ketchmark that I've reviewed. I like this album quite a bit.

If you like the bright sunshiny pop sounds of the 1960s, you will probably enjoy this.

Have you heard of Jimmy McCracklin? Well, he was a musician plying his trade for decades.

I've reviewed a couple things from Chantel McGregor before. That includes the first "Shed Sessions" disc.

Mimo is an intriguing artist, with an emphasis on the "art" portion of that equation.

Kristian Montgomery is billed as an alt-country act.

I previously reviewed another set from Vanessa Peters, and I liked that one. I'd say this is the stronger of the two, though.

There was a time when music like this ruled the airwaves. These guys came out of the same school of soft rock as Crosby, Stills and Nash and The Eagles.

Jimmy Reed was a big influence on rock and roll music.

This is a unique and intriguing album. The music here ranges from Americana to things that are almost art rock.

This album really harkens back to a bygone era. The music here fits well within the vocal jazz genre.

This LA band sounds familiar, but are also very entertaining. Their blend of rockabilly, rock and roll, punk and even alternative sounds is nothing new, but they do it really well.

This is such a special album. I've always said that if you are going to cover a song, you should make it your own.

If you are a fan of electronic dance music, this EP might be something you'll enjoy. There are six songs here, but really it's only three.

There are times where musicians overstay their welcome with their releases that run too long to really hold the listener's attention.

Given the title and cover, you might expect to get country music here. Well, that's not the kind of music Grace Womack delivers.

I have previously reviewed a couple of other discs from this act. I think this one might be better than both of those.

Kiss has had a few different eras so this second volume focuses on a part of their career that was successful but not quite the heights achieved back in their heyday. 

You'll note that I've included this under Phil Lynott's name instead of under the Thin Lizzy banner.

What can be said about The Rolling Stones that hasn't already been said?
