A lot of thoughts flooded my head when I started listening to the new Billy Sherwood-helmed ‘Tribute to Keith Emerson and Greg Lake.’

Celebrating the upcoming anniversary of Pink Floyd’s often-overlooked ‘Atom Heart Mother,’ a transitional album that’s significant for what it started.

The Lickerish Quartet’s first track “Lighthouse Spaceship” carries many of the same hallmarks that made its predecessor band Jellyfish so great.

Ex-E Street Band member David Sancious’ ‘Eyes Wide Open’ is a wondrous hybrid that infuses funk, pop, rock, blues, jazz and prog with a social conscience.

Songs on this album were credited to Yes as a band, but “Soft As a Dove” sounded like another classic joint effort from Jon Anderson and Steve Howe.

There’s a roomful of artistic capacity between just Mike Keneally and Scott Schorr. ‘MFTJ’ puts it to good use.

“We Agree” is yet another forgotten Yes track deserving of more notice than it has received.

With Neil Peart’s passing, Mike Tiano reflects on his connection to Rush through working for Canadian rock artists during the 1970s.

Hard to imagine what Jimmy Page could have added to Yes’ “Can You Imagine.” It works so well in this setting.

Former Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett joins Mike Tiano to discuss reprises and recapitulations, two of the hallmarks of progressive rock.
