Prog Rock
Prog Rock emerged in the late 1960s in Britain when musicians decided that rock needed more orchestration, theatricality, and lyrics that made even Shakespeare raise an eyebrow. It’s characterised by pretentious time signatures, lengthy compositions, and the occasional 20-minute song about the plight of a mythical creature that probably never existed. Fans often debate which epic album is the finest, a delightful pastime amongst the loyal few who appreciate both virtuosity and elaborate concept albums as if they were fine wines rather than musical indulgences.
