| Since most of the classic porg bands of the 70s were quite popular during that decade, it's not surprising that they were featured in music magazines of that time. These days, try progression magazine, for full coverage of all things prog. |

Lets keep going - i am learning about mags in the 70s and early 80s here.. i am learning mainstream mags had very little prog
underground mags were full of it - whats that say? we all know prog is always an alternative style of music
did mainstream mags feature prog - were there any prog specials?
like this
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/B003LHDE9S/ref=dp_image_0?ie=UTF8&n=283155&s=books">

lets look on
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/B003E6HHXU/ref=dp_image_0?ie=UTF8&n=283155&s=books">
 Rush in 1981 - but once again Debbie's beauty captivates me here.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/B003EVT5FI/ref=dp_image_z_0?ie=UTF8&n=283155&s=books">
 1972 - must be worth something - features movie Clockwork Orange.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/B003WZW3IW/ref=dp_image_z_0?ie=UTF8&n=283155&s=books">
 Guitar Heroes.... ok... features Styx
next
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/B003X3M928/ref=dp_image_z_0?ie=UTF8&n=283155&s=books">
 A Doors special in 1981 - exciting?
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/B00170AE5I/ref=dp_image_0?ie=UTF8&n=283155&s=books">

I guess I better mention my little pet hobby too
 I love it cos of the CDs and colour spreads.
 they look better on the outside
than they do on the inside
 but its great to see it on newsstands
 and its all Prog
 so who can complain
 even tho it contains a lot of PR
 its still worth a look
