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.

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.

^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!

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. :)
