WHAT IS PROGRESSIVE ROCK? Beyond being the coolest genre ever, of course. Well, in this episode of the Underrated/Overrated I tackle this MOST important of subjects. I talk about all the classic prog bands from Jethro Tull, to Yes, Rush and ELP, and what distinguishes this genre from other similar genres. Why is it different from art rock and jazz fusion? In fact, IS IT different? Who knows! Well, you will once you've listened to this. Check out this playlist of prog rock if you're new to the genre https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1G6BrJ4ez7U1Edn9llFtLR?si=e0a90835b85e4d33
