From Father to Son and Back Around: Our Prog Blog

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I was born just as prog was getting started (1969), and my dad (primarily a jazz head) had some early interest in progressive rock that rubbed off on me. 

Last fall, he approached me with a blog idea - where the focus would be on both of us reflecting on a selection of key albums that mean a lot to one or both of us. We’re going chronologically (starting with Days of Future Passed, 1967) and have posted over 60 albums/commentaries so far. 

We think this blog provides a welcome twist on the album review idea, by highlighting 2 different generations’ takes on albums we all know and love, with a personal touch that reveals some fun stories along the way. 

Hope you check it out and bookmark it.

	Great idea! Looks like a lot of interesting reading ahead. Thanks for doing this as a blog instead of a video blog (as is common these days). I never seem to be able to concentrate on them.
