70s Prog Rock (Rush, Yes, Klaatu)

from Album Nerds

Few of the sub-genres we cover on the show are as nerdy as prog rock. From the intricate, long compositions to the sci-fi infused lyrics – 70s prog rock pushed the boundaries of rock music and helped bring nerds into the limelight. On today’s show we discuss 3 iconic prog rock albums from the era. Rush – 2112 (Andy) Yes – Close to the Edge (Don) Klaatu – 3:47 EST (Dude) What do you think of these records? What’s your favorite 70s prog rock record? Tell us on the Album Nerds Discord, albumnerds.com/discord or email us, [email protected].
