Readers Poll: The Best Prog Rock Bands of All Time
Rolling Stone Magazine ^ | 7-21-2011 | Andy Greene

Last week, we asked our readers to vote for their favorite progressive rock bands. Looking over the results, it's a real pity that only two of the bands are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

MY fave LP is still “Sounds Like This”

I do not have that. I'll make sure I pick it up.

Check them all out here or at Rhapsody. Rhapsody will let you play 25 tunes per month for free. Or at least they did they last time I used it.

What exactly IS "progressive" rock? I've always thought that it's a combination of excellent musicianship and experimentation leading to evolution in sound... That's certainly a good description of Rush over the years, IMHO

Well, Lemmy kinda went the metal route and kept the others from doodling to much.

Lemmy is awesome!
Alan Davey really did a good job taking his place though.

Please don't let this happen to Free Republic!


Click the picture.

Now more than ever it is critically important for Conservatives to have Free Republic as our online resource where we can discuss the real news, not the news as the current administration's public relations spin machine is spewing it.

We need Free Republic because it's the online site where Conservatives can discuss, defend and make cogent arguments about all Conservative issues.

Free Republic is not just a site where Conservatives give voice to opinions in often heated discussions. Free Republic also serves as a rallying point where Conservatives can align with other Conservatives and get involved in making our strongly held opinions heard above the fray of leftist bleating.

Conservatives on Free Republic become involved and remain involved in grassroots activism, all while making the steps necessary to return our country to its Conservative principles and standards.



Please help keep the lights on at Free Republic by making a donation today.

If you have already donated to the 3rd Quarter 2011 Freepathon, please come visit the Freepathon thread and give it a bump.
