As Progressive Rock musicians pass away, their stories and perspectives pass along with them. Our mission is to bring you along on a journey to explore the different Progressive music sub genres, while documenting and preserving the stories of Progressive music pioneers and, in the process, remind ourselves that their musical legacy continue to inspire and influence new generations of players across the world.
