Probably not - unless your guide actually discusses the music.

I've read so many articles and guides etc. and none actually tell the truth about the music - words like "complex" and "progressive" crop up with no substantiation.

I worked on the Wikipedia entry on "Classic" Prog for ages trying to get it to an accurate and verifiable state. It's probably been vandalised again, coz I haven't looked at it for ages - but I never could get anyone to help with Modern Prog, and I'm beginning to think that the reason is that Modern Prog is just a style of ordinary rock music, undeserving of the Prog prefix.

Not bad music - just not Prog.

I'd be really interested to read your article - apologies for being skeptical, but I'm bored of flowery tributes that merely exist to praise favourite bands, and would like something technical that actually informs me - which I'm sure yours will do
