Doku: Prog Rock Britannia

Und weil bei Wikio letztens stand, ich würde hier das Thema „Rock“ machen, gleich diese Doku noch hinterher. Man hat ja auch einen Ruf, den es zu verlieren gilt. Außerdem ist kurz vor Wochenende, da habt Ihr eh alle nichts weiter zu tun, als Dokus zu gucken.

Documentary about progressive music and the generation of bands that were involved, from the international success stories of Yes, Genesis, ELP, King Crimson and Jethro Tull to the trials and tribulations of lesser-known bands such as Caravan and Egg.
[…]
It looks at the psychedelic pop scene that gave birth to progressive rock in the late 1960s, the golden age of progressive music in the early 1970s, complete with drum solos and gatefold record sleeves, and the over-ambition, commercialisation and eventual fall from grace of this rarefied musical experiment at the hands of punk in 1977.

Contributors include Robert Wyatt, Mike Oldfield, Pete Sinfield, Rick Wakeman, Phil Collins, Arthur Brown, Carl Palmer and Ian Anderson.
