Customer Reviews

50 most influential prog bands
A nice book - I read the whole thing in a weekend. It's not very long but worth the money. It contains historical information and discographies for the 50 most influential bands in progressive rock. It contains a wide range of bands from the different sub genres of progressive rock, also covering all the major bands. A good well-priced starthing point for reading about progressive rock bands.
