Progressive Rock, or Prog Rock, represents the artful and ambitious side of rock music — a world where melody meets complexity and sound becomes storytelling. Born in the late 1960s through visionary bands like Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, and Pink Floyd, prog redefined what rock could be, fusing classical, jazz, and psychedelic influences into sweeping compositions and concept albums.
At MuratsJukebox.com, we celebrate the magic of Progressive Rock in all its forms — from the golden era of the 1970s to modern innovators such as Porcupine Tree, Steven Wilson, and Dream Theater. Dive into in-depth band histories, album reviews, and features that capture the imagination and intellect behind prog’s most daring music.
Murat’s Jukebox is where timeless artistry and musical exploration meet — a home for every listener who believes that rock can still dream big.
