Top 50 — Current Prog

The Prog Report actually has a pretty great Top 50 list up for the 1990-2015 (Current Prog) Era.

I would have put Wilson, and not DT, in the #1 slot.

And, after seeing Mr. Prog on his current tour, I would put “Hand” (instead of “Raven”) in that prime position, keeping “Raven” at #2.

There are errors (e.g., Meshuggah) and omissions (e.g., BBT, Underfall Yard) but overall it is an impressive chronicle.

I would challenge fellow Progarchists to refine their own personal Top 50 lists for the Current Era.

I myself am going to start monkeying with a playlist that takes a representative track from each of my own 50 choices.

And what about the idea of dividing the history into Three Eras?

Should we speak of Three “Waves” of Prog as we chronicle its history?

    What are the rough timelines for the three waves of prog music? And are all the bloggers on this site actually Straussians? (if not, I apologize for the esoteric reference)
