Progressive rock is good for our health

May 14th, 2025 · No Comments

Yes Progressive Rock is even better than a carrot and some say its effects are similar to eating two garlic tooths a day, without the social problems that sometimes accompany garlic eating . I never felt the need to spread cold butter, or any genre of music, but I feel that classic progressive rock can change our minds and our worlds, so here are a few links to the cream of the cream of progressive rock music. My suggestion is going for the late 60’s early 70s, with its psychedelic/jazzy type, my personal choices are: The Soft Machine, Gong, Egg, National Health (Trip to the Newport Hospital), Agitation Free (Malesch!), Arzachel, but be close to an E.R for any case. If you want to start and you are a beginner start with Jethro Tull, Caravan, Yes, Pink Floyd and Camel.

I may be updating this post with links in the future, so please visit again.

Calyx – The Canterbury Website
 was created in February 1996 (yes, that’s over ten years ago !), with the aim of eventually providing Internet users with the definitive source of information on the Canterbury Scene. It is not, historically, the first site devoted to Canterbury scene (Malcolm Humes’ endeavours and the Musart South London/Canterbury website deserve this credit). And hopefully, it won’t be the last. As a matter of fact, new sites keep appearing, and there are links to all of them on the 
contacts & links page.

The Prog Archives Web site Project came out from a common dream of a small group of fanatic progressive rock music collectors who decided to develop a WEB SITE for the online progressive rock music community, with the goal of providing extensive Progressive Rock Music information, as well as interaction features for the prog surfers.

The soft machine album
Soft Machine’s self-titled debut album, released in December 1968, is a landmark of British psychedelic rock and a founding document of the Canterbury scene. Performed by the original trio—Robert Wyatt, Kevin Ayers, and Mike Ratledge—it captures a band at the edge of pop and avant-garde, full of wit, invention, and sonic risk-taking. Joy of a toy, Why am I so short & Priscilla are my favorite tracks from this album.
