Greek Prog: From Alpha To Omega

Yah-soo! A new blog for the New Year ahead! This is a celebration of all things Greek for those Greek geeks amongst us who know there's a lot more to Greek prog than just Aphrodite's Child and Vangelis. With thanks to Octopus-4 for the inspiration for this blog, which should hopefully avoid any further controversy over whether or not Greece is part of Eastern Europe.

A classical Greek prog scholar, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Robert John Godfrey of The Enid.

Pardon the interruption, but may I recommend La Tulipe Noire, a neo prog band from Athens that was active from 1992 to 2017? I have two of their albums and thought they were nicely done. I believe most of their albums are YouTube accessible.
