An entertaining, definitive and in-depth study of prog rock, with a new cover and foreword by Steve Hackett (Genesis).

Progressive rock, a genre formed out of a creative surge in the late Sixties and throughout the Seventies, originated and flowered most spectacularly in the UK. Made by young musicians for a young audience, prog music looked towards new horizons by synthesising rock, jazz, folk, classical and other styles.

Examining the myths and misconceptions surrounding the genre, music journalist Mike Barnes paints a vivid, colourful picture of the Seventies based on his own interviews with the musicians, music business insiders, journalists and DJs, and the personal testimonies of fans of that extraordinary decade.

“Lucid and deeply researched... this exhaustive tome may well be the last word on the subject.” Mojo

“A grand survey of the most ambitious and pretentious British rock of the age” Uncut

“Masterly evocation” Bill Bruford (Yes)

“Prog rock’s essential guidebook” Ian Rankin

“Extremely impressive and comprehensive” Steve Howe (Yes)

Shortlisted for the 2021 Penderyn Music Book Prize.
