MAX SENT THIS: The Best Prog Rock Bands of All Time

Max Blake, an exceedingly intelligent young man whom my wife and I adopted as a 'nephew' some years ago, is not just working towards a PhD in insect genetics at a Welsh university that I can't spell, but he is also a proghead par excellence and occasionally reads The Gonzo Daily. Yesterday he wrote to me with  this link. "It will make you cross" he wrote.

 I am a bad tempered old git these days, and lots of things make me cross. However the Rolling Stone list of 'The Best Prog Rock Bands of All Time', is not really one of them, even though it misses out Van Der Graaf Generator and includes Jethro Tull (who - most of the time at least - weren't prog).

 However, it is an interesting list, and I will welcome (and post) your comments...

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
