# Prog Rock Progressive rock (often shortened to prog rock or prog) is a broad subgenre of rock music that emerged in the late 1960s, aiming to elevate rock from danceable pop singles into a serious, complex art form. It moves past traditional three-minute verse-chorus formats by blending the core elements of rock with instrumentation and songwriting techniques borrowed from classical music, jazz fusion, avant-garde, and traditional folk. 👍 = like 👎 = dislike ❤️ = love - [x] Yes - Tales From Topographic Oceans (1973) ❤️❤️ - [x] Happy the Man - Happy the Man (1977) - dc 👍 - [x] Crack the Sky - Crack the Sky (1975) - wv 👍 - [x] Rush - Hemispheres (1978) ❤️ - [x] Carmen - Fandangos in Space (1973) - cosmic headfuck Zapateado 👎 - [x] Camel - Mirage (1974) 👍 - [x] Caravan - In the Land of Grey and Pink (1971) - middle earth tolkien-y 👍 - [x] Jon Anderson - Olias Of Sunhillow (1976) - greatest ‘lost’ concept album 👍 - [x] Jethro Tull: Aqualung (1971) ❤️ - [x] Rare Bird - Rare Bird 👎 - [x] Gryphon - Red Queen To Gryphon Three (1974) - chess; ren faire music? 👍 - [x] Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells (1973) - exorcist 👍 - [x] Yes - Close to the Edge (1972) - [x] Yes - Tormato - [x] Asia - Arena - [x] Gong - You (1974) - space jams ❤️❤️ - [x] Jethro Tull - Think As a Brick - wacky monty python style parody of prog rock wankery ❤️ - [x] Van der Graaf Generator – The Least We Can Do Is Wave to Each Other (1970) ❤️❤️ - [x] Van der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts (1971) 👍 - [x] Rush - 2112 (1976) 👍 - [x] Eloy - Ocean (1977) 👍 - [x] Eloy: Silent Cries and Mighty Echoes (1979) - [x] Sir Lord Baltimore - Kingdom Come (1970) - invented heavy metal ❤️ - [x] Matching Mole – Matching Mole (1972) - whimsical yet melancholic blend of jazz-fusion and eccentric art-pop 👍 - [ ] Rush - Moving Pictures (1981) - [ ] Bo Hansson - Music Inspired by Lord of the Rings - [ ] Yes - Fragile (1971) - [ ] Dave Greenslade - The Pentateuch Of The Cosmogony (1979) - [ ] Comus - First Utterance - [ ] Camel - I Can See Your House From Here - [ ] Tangerine Dream, 'Phaedra' (1974) - [ ] King Crimson, In the Court of the Crimson King' (1969) - [ ] King Crimson - Discipline (1981) - [ ] Pink Floyd, "The Dark Side of the Moon' (1973) - [ ] Hyderomastgroningem' (1995) - japanese - [ ] Electric Light Orchestra, 'Eldorado' (1974) - pop prog - [ ] Meshuggah, 'Destroy Erase Improve' (1995) - math metal / djent - [ ] Amon Düül II, 'Yeti' (1970) - [ ] Kansas, 'Leftoverture' (1976) - [ ] Supertramp, 'Crime of the Century' (1974) - [ ] Magma, 'Mëkanik Destruktiw Kömmandöh' (1973) - [ ] Gentle Giant,'Octopus' (1972) - [ ] Genesis, "Foxtrot' (1972) - [ ] Pink Floyd, 'Animals' (1977) - [ ] Pink Floyd, 'Wish You Were Here' (1975) - [ ] Emerson, Lake and Palmer, 'Brain Salad Surgery' (1973) - [ ] Nektar: Recycled (1975) - [ ] Klaatu: Hope (1977) - [ ] Gnidrolog - Lady Lake (1972) - [ ] Hatfield And The North - The Rotters’ Club (1975) - [ ] Starcastle - Starcastle (1976) - yes clone? - [ ] Nektar - Remember The Future (1973) - [ ] Spirit - Twelve Dreams Of Dr Sardonicus - [ ] Dust - Hard Attack - proto metal - [ ] Black Widow - Sacrifice (1970) - [ ] Black Widow - In Ancient Days (1970) - [ ] Gentle Giant: The Power and the Glory (1974) - [ ] Kansas: Leftoverture (1976) - [ ] Premiata Forneria Marconi: Per Un Amico (1972) - [ ] Le Orme: Felona e Sorona (1973) - [ ] Spock’s Beard—The Light [50 Greatest Prog Rock Albums of All Time](https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/50-greatest-prog-rock-albums-of-all-time-78793/) Roger Dean, the man famed for all the classic ‘70s Yes covers, BASIC by BASIC Samurai Samurai Yes, Rush, Pink Floyd Magma - Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh (1973) PFM - Per Un Amico (1972) Cat food by King Crimson Museo Rosenbach – Zarathustra (1973) something else ...
