I personally wouldn't derail this thread any further. There is a cool website called Reddit. It's a much better place for this type of politikal discussions, so I'd recommend you take your conversation there, Richard and Spookee. :)

^Those comments were definitely unnecessary on this thread. If you feel like this is the sole way in which you are able to contribute to a post dealing with different Youtube channels that discuss progressive rock, please refrain from using it as a platform for expressing any kind of political views, no matter what they might be.
It is not the right place!

Popularity, you may be completely right on. Personally, though, I'll take the written word over watching anyone blather about the same. Even beyond reviewing, I don't enjoy watching people talk on video. I'd much rather read the transcript of an interview or whatever it is. It lets me extract what I need quicker and move on. Certainly there is a place for video as you move towards the entertainment side of a topic, but for something like reviews and learning about music, I'll never feel video is more useful than reading.
Yes, I was just thinking about popularity only. YouTube reviewers seem dismissive to me since most of them are from the U.S.


Interesting. Dismissive how so? Dismissive to the artist?


 Well, after the American presidential elections last November, now that they got their Führer, they seem really disgusting to me, just like my fellow Germans in 1932, you know, when I watch historical documentaries.

It's not the same. USA like the UK is a split country in terms of politics about equally divided between left and right wing politics. Right wing does go hand in hand with fascism at times and I can't stand Trump personally but anyway whatever its not my call. I watch a lot of youtube for entertainment and have started watching chess videos like Powerplay chess hosted by Grandmaster Danny King for instance. He has more subscribers than the most popular prog rock channel (Sea Of Tranquility) . Watching YT doesn't mean you are stupid although in my case I will admit to being lazy and that is probably a trait of many TV watchers. I don't read any books and would prefer to watch a daytime quiz to keep my brain busy if I need to. Even just listening to prog is likely good for the brain as it's akin to classical music I believe.
I tried to be precise when I wrote "1932." In 1932, about 35 percent of the population backed Adolf Hitler; Germany was still split at the time, but this was about to change, which is what I predict will happen in the U.S. when the MAGA cult takes power. this year. My nation is currently experiencing political divisions as well. However, Elon Musk, the financier and close associate of elected President Trump, who is regrettably well-known in Germany primarily for his Tesla automobiles, publicly supported the far-right, pro-Putler Alternative für Deutschland party and called on Germans to vote for it in the upcoming elections. Did you not read about it in the stories? Every newspaper in the globe carried it. 
Since politics is not welcome on this board, I must end now.

I don't think this one's been mentioned yet: 

I've enjoyed most of the channels mentioned here, and I'll be checking out the ones I haven't tried yet, but "Make Weird Music" is my favorite so far. Anthony Garone is a no-nonsense, down-to-earth host who loves weird music, prog and beyond. He has some great playlists o Spotify, and presents them in his videos. If you don't mind watching him bob his head around while listening to them he always has something interesting to say between tracks.

Hi,

I don't think that it being fusion or metal is an issue ... what bothers me is the high-schoolish drumming, as if those musicians can't count without a snare drum ... and it's still going around today, and I stopped listening to most prog/progressive because of it, and too many of the lists just show that ... with a small minority of better stuff, or more entertaining stuff.

These days, the jazz side is more entertaining ... might get too many standup bass players from Japan, but getting to hear an 18 saxophone band, and others, including some really fine women bands, makes the prog/progressive selections be really poor, in my book!

The music has to improve, not go backwards. Reminds me of the album from STRING DRIVEN THING ... "band without a drummer" ... and it sounded fine!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

What happened to watching YT on the computer (desktop or laptop)? I almost always watch on my laptop, and very occasionally on the smart tv when showing something to someone else. Never on the phone, I hate using a small screen like that. However, just because some people don't care and use their phone doesn't make them nutbars. If that's easier and doesn't make a difference to them, then that's fine. Plus, some people can't afford a smart tv or computer, so their phone (or perhaps tablet if they have one) might be their only option.

^ You could, say, use the Brave browser or a program to save it to a playlist so you can listen to it offline if they have not released it in podcast forum (podcasts of course are easy to save). I have been listening to (and watching) more of Theneedledrop, he does cover lots of albums that I love. Regarding an earlier comment, I am more interest in watch these hen it comes to contemporary albums than classics generally. Or for albums that are new or fairly new to me. Yesterday in Paul's British Artists of 2017 poll, I mentioned a favourite of mine in PA's Prog Folk category with Richard Dawson's Peasant (not in his list). I see that it was reviewed on Fantano's channel (from looking up his website) and will give that a listen. I am more partial to kids of weird experimentation and sounds than he often is I have noticed.

I'm guessing people listen more than watch on the phones so it becomes a podcast. If the 4G was better where I live then I might do that when out walking. I tried it once and it didn't work that well.
