...about Prog Rock

Prog Rock is a form of rock music influenced by heroic legend. Prog rock albums seek to reflect the epic nature of The Lord of the Rings by being very, very long. Prog rock songs are all about a wizard, without exception. Even were a prog rock song about something normal, buying some chips for instance, the chips would still be stolen by Gollum. The only exception is Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd, which is about a teacher putting children into a mincing machine. This is how haggis is made.

Owing to the extreme length of prog rock songs, it is common for fans to bid their families goodbye before listening to a full record. Classic prog rockers Hawkwind started performing their album Flame of Udun in March 1974, and are believed to have reached the drum solo by now.
