Prog Rock

Progressive rock, or prog rock, is a genre of music that emerged in the late 1960s, combining rock with influences from classical, jazz, and experimental music. It is characterized by complex compositions, innovative song structures, and virtuosic playing. Bands often use orchestral arrangements, unconventional time signatures, and concept albums to create a more immersive and elaborate listening experience.
