JD’s “Prog Variety Show” plays the finest classic and modern Progressive Rock and related music from around the world! Progressive Rock (now called Prog to encompass the many sub-genres) evolved in the late 60’s/early 70’s from Psychedelic music to elevate rock to new levels of artistry. Prog bands, then and now, push rock’s technical and composition boundaries by going beyond the standard rock or popular verse-chorus song based structures. Also, the arrangements often incorporate elements drawn from classical, jazz and world music. Long, multi-dimensional pieces are more common while songs with lyrics are sometimes conceptual, abstract, or based in fantasy. Musically, unusual time signatures are frequent as is orchestration and many ‘movements’ within one song. Prog bands sometimes use “concept albums” to tell an epic story or tackle a grand overarching theme. Progressive Rock sub-genres include Jazz Rock/Fusion, Krautrock, Neo-Prog, Prog Folk, Progressive Electronic, Progressive Metal, Psychedelic/Space Rock and many others, plus Proto-Prog.

Daddypops
If you like Bob Dylan, you appreciate shameless appropriation as the sincerest form of homage. Daddypops fosters a sense of musical object permanence in the wake of pop’s relentless advance through time. Each week we spend an hour rummaging through once precious treasures and castoffs, sifting and sorting songs centered around some theme or other. If it was anybody’s music growing up, it could be somebody’s lost toy. There’s no end to this great stuff, and there’s bound to be something here for you.
