Is there any comprehensive guide to prog music, that reaches into this millenium ? I have several AMG guides, which are very satisfactory and would like something similar for this area. Any suggestions are appreciated.

hmmm... honestly Peter I'm not aware of one... but I don't restrict myself to one viewpoint on prog..... read everything you can on it. The internet is a thing of beauty for that, useful for more than just being a veritable candyland of porn and trolling internet chat sites hahhah. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

| The Essential Mini-Guide to Progressive Rock, by the founder of this site, Rony (ProgLucky). There's a link to it on the main page, but it says ordering is temporarily unavailable. |

I've been reading "The Progressive Rock Files" by Jerry Lucky. It is IMO quite a good overview of the whole thing. Well written also. Bought mine from the Amazon.

Thanks Guys. I ordered Lucky`s and Macan`s texts, essentially because they have - more or less - an opposite hold on the subject. That should give me a broader view. I`ll let you know when I have them.
Saludos,
Peter

 I wasn't aware that there was anything more to do other then look for porn and forum trolling on the internet. You opened my mind to new possibilties Mikey. -------------

I just received Lucky`s book and I`m very pleased. His style is unpretentious and he essentially likes some bands and others he doesn`t. No biased opinions or venomous comments. I`d like to see an AMG-style guide to prog, but I guess It`ll be a long time before something like that hits the shelves.
Thanks for the tip.
Peter
