Music Magazine The Prog Collection Volume 2 Third Revised Edition Edição anterior

The music press and the mainstream record industry will never admit it, but progressive rock is in the middle of a new Golden Age. Sure, the days of the genre’s original gods stacking up hit albums and selling out arenas across the world are gone, but few contemporary music scenes are as vibrant and creative as this one, and none inspire such passion.

For the past 10 years, this incredible resurgence has been charted in the pages of Prog magazine. During that time, we’ve seen the genre’s original founding fathers finally hailed as the icons we always knew they were, watched the radicals and visionaries who pushed music into uncharted new territories at last be recognised as maverick geniuses, and witnessed a whole new wave of progressively-minded artists and bands pick up the baton and continue to take it ever forwards.

As part of Prog’s 10th birthday celebrations in 2019, we lovingly put together this second volume of articles compiled from the pages of the world’s greatest progressive music magazine to salute the genre’s icons, cult heroes and new generation of geniuses. Inside, you’ll find the stories behind such landmark albums as Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here, Rush’s A Farewell To Kings, and Mike Oldfield’s Tubular Bells, in-depth interviews with Ian Anderson, King Crimson, Opeth and more, plus the 100 Greatest Prog Anthems – as voted by you.

It’s been a hell of a ride over the last decade and it’s fantastic that you’re here with us today, so forgive us if we gave ourselves a pat on the back. Here’s to the next 10 years.
