Very cool!

It's nice to see somebody who isn't a member of our little group here to find a real enjoyment out of all of the info and bands on this website.

Fans of Krautrock, rocking flute solos and the crime of the century: Rejoice.

There's a site for you. Tune into the ProgArchives to hear the most technically spectacular music you'll ever experience.

If you enjoy guitar solos that last longer than the average Fergie song or you love lyrics so complex they make a John Mayer song sound like a Mother Goose nursery rhyme -then log onto "Your ultimate prog rock resource."

This place literally has it all as far as progressive rock music goes - including a definition so detailed it includes explanations of such bizarre genres as Math Rock, Zeuhl and Krautrock (Neu! anyone?). Here's the short version: "Progressive rock is an ambitiou, eclectic and often grandiose style of rock music…(seeking) to move away from the limitations of radio formatted rock and pop, and 'progress' rock to the point that it could achieve the sophistication of jazz or classical music." (Yeah, that's the short version. No definition can achieve the magnificent pomposity of prog rock.)

Check out this sophistication by clicking on an artist-such as prog stars like Genesis (The band before Peter Gabriel left), Van Der Graaf Generator and the flute-wielding Jethro Tull. Get an overview of all their albums, a brief biography and best of all -streaming of hit prog songs.

No memory of your favorite Yes song? Listen to all 18 minute of the band's epic Close to the Edge. Can't sleep without prog metal champions Dream Theater? Rock to the 11-minute instrumental "Steam of Consciousness." Crave the ear-piercing falsetto of Rush lead Geddy Lee or the rumbling growl of Opeth's Mikeal Akerfeldt? Yep, you can sample the 10-minutes hits "The Camera Chase" from Rush's seminal album "Moving Pictures" and the death metal scorcher, "The Drapery Falls," respectively.

For those hoping to have the most mature taste in music around - head to ProgArchives. And rock on…and on…and on…and on.
