Prog Rock Odyssey
Side one is one song. Deal with it.
Concept albums, odd time signatures, twenty-minute suites, and musicianship that bordered on showing off — gloriously. From King Crimson and Rush to Tool and Primus, this is rock for the headphone crowd who read the liner notes twice. Not made for the radio, and proud of it.
