The Worst Prog Album In The World!



For many people, the idea of progressive rock is the likes of Emerson Lake and Palmer, Yes, Gentle Giant and early Genesis. But if you were to dig deeper, you'd find many other bands who never broke through to major success. Bands like the ones on this compilation, who had their roots in  psychedelic music, but took as influence many different genres to accomplish what, for me, is truly progressive rock. One thing I can guarantee,  there are no excess guitar/drum/keyboard solos to be found here! So, for a slightly different take on prog rock, and to hopefully draw in those who shy away from it, here is "The Worst Prog Album In The World!". I hope you enjoy...
