About this listen
Music journalist Mike Barnes (MOJO, The Wire, Prog, and author of the acclaimed biography Captain Beefheart) goes back to the birth of progressive rock and surveys the cultural conditions and attitudes that fed into, and were in turn affected by, this remarkable musical phenomenon. He examines the myths and misconceptions that have grown up around progressive rock and paints a vivid, colorful picture of the '70s based on hundreds of hours of his own interviews with musicians, music business insiders, journalists, and DJs, and from the personal testimonies of those who were fans of the music in that extraordinary decade.

interesting
I kept listening for 27 hours about a music I did not particularly like. Quite an achievement by the writer.

A Must for Anyone who Prog Rock and cultural history
Painstakingly researched and exploring the offshoots of the difficult to categorise prog rock! The only real omission was the late flowering of excellent prog in the band UK.

Overlong
The final section from the chapter on punk onwards tended to drag with a loss of focus. Unsure as to why some groups here were given undue importance such as Wire.The performance was fine but with some group names mispronounced. Overall an informative and well-researched listen, overlong with some weaknesses in the reading.

Tried to cover the irregularities but missed too much of the essential
Don’t bother with it. The book is too opinionated and this is too far away from the facts.
