1972 : When Progressive Rock Ruled The World
Prog Rock - Book - by Kevan Furbank
(2023)
1972 was the year Progressive Rock came of age, when bands and artists still revered today produced some of their most ground-breaking, inventive, and enduring musical creations. In this fascinating and absorbing book, Kevan Furbank looks at some of the artists and albums that made 1972 such a watershed in musical achievement. He follows their development from the first tentative notes and chords to the full-blown recordings that, more than 50 years later, are still seen as the masterpieces of the genre, and the gold standard by which all Progressive Rock is judged.
Travel Close To The Edge with Yes, dance a Foxtrot with Genesis, tussle with Gentle Giant's Octopus and discover you don't have to be Thick As A Brick to enjoy Jethro Tull's 40-minute opus. There's a Trilogy by Emerson, Lake & Palmer, some Demons And Wizards from Uriah Heep, and a Grave New World courtesy of The Strawbs. The author also Focuses on manic yodelling, the End Of The World, an island Obscured By Clouds and a cult album that could be hobbit-forming.
Written with passion and wit, the book is a must-have book for every music-lover with an open mind and open ears.
