Welcome to ProgRoots

Since June, 2002, ProgRoots has been exploring the roots of progressive rock music, its various incarnations, influences, and spin-offs. It's a mixed bag of great music from then and now. Classic bands like Yes, Emerson Lake & Palmer, King Crimson and Pink Floyd are featured alongside today's new progressive artists who are planting their roots only now. You can expect to hear a variety of great music from the last forty years. And quite often it's the listeners who determine what is played, by requesting their favorites.
