    The best place to start
  

*by T***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2014*

This is a huge, lengthy, detailed history of progressive rock, smoothly written and beautiful to look at. There are some minor problems. Hard-core fans will undoubtedly find some artists who were left out of Romano's history (an entire chapter on trailblazers Van der Graaf Generator was reportedly dropped because the band wasn't commercial enough), some bands aren't represented by their best works, some artists included aren't really prog, some album covers are mis-identified, etc. But the book is well-researched and solid on the facts, and there are remarkably few errors until the very end. The list of essential recordings at the end is pretty easy to argue with, but when I think of some of the other places fans could search for more information ... Well, this is clearly the best place to start. I hope Romano gets to write a sequel.

    Errors from Typograhic Oceans
  

*by G***S on Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2015*

This book contains lengthy histories of the major progressive rock bands (Yes, Pink Floyd, Genesis, and others)--plus histories of lesser known and lesser selling elements of prog-rock, such as the bands in the Canterbury (UK) scene such as Caravan. Additionally, the author discusses each album the group has produced up to publication date in a discerning, reasonable manner. Finally, he includes additional chapters to cover the resurgence in the '80s of Yes and Genesis, and the changes--positive and negative--they underwent to reinvent themselves.  I must, however, I must include one caveat: I have never read a book with so many typographical errors. Some are minor, such as writing "a" instead of "an." However, some are major, such as including text that makes no sense in a particular paragraph and--worst of all--incorrectly titling albums beneath a picture of the album cover. For example, underneath Genesis's 1976 album "Trick of the Tail," I found the title "Abacab," Genesis's 1981 album, underneath the iconic cover of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, I found a title that I didn't recognize. These errors mar an otherwise admirable work. In the future, I hope the editing departing corrects these errors, especially for the sake of those new to prog-rock, since so much misinformation exists in this book, which may misinform those new to this style and corpus of rock.

    AUTHENTIC PROG ROCK HISTORY
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2018*

Very pleasantly surprised at the depth and scope of each band covered over the entire Prog life cycle.  Loved Bill Bruford's articulate forward commentary on those pioneering years. Wonderful tidbits on many of our heroes.  I think it is an excellent read for all Prog fans young and old.  Great coffee table book to have on hand as we reminisce on that magical period.  Will be sharing with my kids and grandkids as an authentic history of Prog.
