By 1978, progressive rock was essentially becoming an afterthought in the mainstream. New popular art forms like disco and punk were taking over the airwaves, and left little space for epic symphonic rock.

So if anyone tells you 1978 was a bad year for progressive rock, mention that list. If anyone still needs further convincing, have them listen to the next three hours. There are lots of gems here.

I wrote a very goofy article about how King Crimson's Discipline ushered back the prog that was dying....prog never really dies, the musicians keep changing partners...

this show should be excellent!
