@audio-b-dog - That Ken Burns Jazz series is great, yeah? I don't even like jazz and I thoroughly enjoyed that...

Outer Vinyl Sleeves, is it a good idea?

@toddalin - well, that's a new one on me - I've never heard of Loggins & Messina mentioned in the same paragraph as 'prog rock'; they have good songs, but when did they change from that country-folk-ish pop? Are any mellotrons involved?  Thos...

@audio-b-dog - some examples of prog rock artists would include Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, Rush, Gentle Giant, Van Der Graaf Generator, and more contemporaneously, Steven Wilson and his projects and with Porcupine Tree. When he tours, he plays to...

@toddalin - Prog rock has never gone away; check out some of the great many prog rock YouTube channels for a start; plenty of it still going on all over the world. May not sound like Gentle Giant, but that's what Gentle Giant recordings are for. H...
