PUTTING COLOUR INTO YOUR MUSIC
With Classic Rock Through The Ages

Best Progressive Music Of 2012

Broadcast 13/01/2013.

Ok so it's all subjective. These are the tunes and bands that simply "did it" for us over the past 12 months. Prog fans the world over may argue the toss, and we're sorry that we didn't have more time to fit in more of the wonderful output from all over the world. It's a tragedy that we only had 2 hours for this feature.

Feel free to comment and let us know your thoughts on the year that was in Progressive Music.

Here are our picks for 2012:




Best Prog Album (The Overall Winner)

Special Guest Programmers: Nobby & Locky!

Nobby & Locky...back in the studio! 

Long-time presenter Nobby (left), and Kaleidoscope Ears founder Locky came back on air to guest program our 30/12/12 show.

It was a pleasure to have the boys back on talking about the specific genres they love, with all three (including Dwayne) throwing tracks into the mix.

Nobby got the "Q" word in (Quintessential for the uninitiated) with just 12 minutes to spare and Locky dived headlong into the musical area he is most passionate about, American Garage.

But most surprising of all, we got through a 2-hour show, playing some of our all-time favourites, and we didn't play a single Porcupine Tree or Steven Wilson-related song! Strange but true!
