More About Us

A booklet published in association with 'Acid Dragon' (with thanks to 'The Classic Rock Society') will be available soon. The booklet includes:

  • a detailed critical appraisal of each of the 100 albums chosen by the musicians and fans who responded to the first survey

  • full track listings of each album

  • a comprehensive analysis and discussion of the questions: 'What is progressive rock?' and 'Who were its first exponents?' This draws on many sources including the responses of fans, writers and musicians eg Roine Stolt, Haze, Arena.
