Prog is an adventure: a bridge between pop immediacy and classical structure that challenges musicians and fans alike. At the turn of the ‘70s, the sudden shift in musical emphasis from singles to albums gave rock bands a chance to stretch out and investigate grooves not built for dancing and plangent melodies that take the ear on an emotional gallivant to unexplored locations. Inspired by symphonic form, the rigours of modern jazz and great works of literature, prog rockers such as King Crimson, Yes and Emerson, Lake & Palmer set out to discover different sonic landscapes and create a new language for popular music. This questing spirit—upheld in subsequent years by The Mars Volta and Muse—encourages longer song suites as musicians wrestle with uncanny time signatures, dense mystical poetry and devilish chord structures on an eternal quest to find the lost chord.

The rich universe of these prog rock virtuosos offers plenty of fruitful side trips. Stretch out with the complex harmonies and tumbling instrumentation of shape-shifting 1974 epic “Ritual (Nous Sommes Du Soleil)”. Indulge in the keyboard wizardry of Rick Wakeman's “Catherine of Aragon”. And embrace the '80s with the stacked harmonies, gleaming synths and monster guitar sound of “City of Love”.

Scraping away Rush's prog complexity reveals a classic power trio grounded in hard rock. In the early '70s, they specialised in jams like “In the Mood”, which were built from shrieking vocals and a bluesy wallop inspired by Zeppelin. Yet even as veterans, they enjoy a good riff workout: hear the grunge-inspired barnstormer “Stick It Out” and their fuzzy, overdriven take on Blue Cheer's proto-metal classic “Summertime Blues”.
