Progressive rock

Progressive rock is a rock music subgenrewhich originated in the United Kingdom, with further developments in the United States, Germany and Italy, throughout the mid to late 1960s and 70s. Developing from psychedelic rock, progressive rock originated, similarly to art rock, as a "British attempt" to give greater artistic weight and credibility to rock music. Progressive rock intended to break the boundaries of traditional rock music by bringing in a greater and more eclectic range of influences, including free-form and experimental compositional methods, as well as new technological innovations.
