Welcome to the first European Perspective of 2020, and Happy New Year to you all!
In a rather impulsive and largely unplanned show, I review some of the great music of the previous two decades according to the following self-imposed rules:
- One album per year
- No artist represented more than once
- At least vaguely proggy!
As this was all rather spur of the moment, Martin isn’t in this podcast, but he’ll be back soon!

Spock’s Beard and Neal Morse on a European list?
I’m European – it’s my perspective 🙂
Hey Wilf, you might want to check out a California band called Prawg Dog. They’re listed in iTunes as “metal,” but I think that’s only because iTunes doesn’t have a prog category. Their sound is actually much closer to Allan Holdsworth than anything else. The album was recorded with electronic drums, but they have since picked up a live drummer and are gigging around the Fresno area.
