Editorial Reviews

2010 four CD collection. Progressive Rock is one of the most loved and frequently debated of all musical genres. Compiled by Jerry Ewing, the editor of Classic Prog magazine, this set takes us on a magical, leisurely journey through the corners of this wondrous genre. For those who think it's all about pixies and trippy guitar solos, think again (although both of those are here). Wondrous Stories: A Complete Introduction To Progressive Rock boasts brand new cover art by Roger Dean, designer of the legendary 'Yes' logo, and some of the most influential album sleeves of all time.

This review is from: Wondrous Stories: Compl Introduction to Prog Rock (Audio CD)

There were a few songs I would not have considered progressive rock (like Queensryche or Opeth), but mostly this collection was exactly what it promised to be. Surprisingly, King Crimson was not included. The text about the songs was informative (about the history of progressive rock), not bragging or boring trivia. If you want to find out about progressive rock, this collection will do the job.
