AOTW
This mostly will contain concept albums and normal albums of new artists or new music whose discographies I haven’t heard yet. Won’t contain any albums of some of the artists whose discogs I’m extremely familiar with - Dream Theater <3, LTE <3, Pain of Salvation, Tool, Porcupine Tree, Opeth, famous works of Yes, Genesis, Rush, Pink Floyd, KC, Katatonia, Haken. The idea is to explore the breadth of prog; maybe other genres at some point later on, and to not get stuck listening to the same music (there was a phase before I started listening to prog rock, mostly just listened to metal + prog metal)
Interested artists
In upcoming months, mostly works from these artists will be here. Please tell me (comments,mail,twitter) if any other related/interesting artists/albums, esp prog metal! :D. PS:The genre categorization is just a simple one, put up to help unaware people, dont take it seriously :P.
