Welcome to Trollheart's Fortress of Prog!

After nearly two years, welcome back to the Fortress of Prog!

Has two years living here alone sent me crazy? Again? Maybe.

Seven years ago, almost to the day, I attempted to undertake a humungous project under which I would listen to the discographies of over sixty artists - and I mean every album. This I entitled The Great Discography Project. It ran for just over a year, and to be fair, I made a decent dent in it, but I was never going to finish it. One of the main problems was that I had, somewhat foolishly, agreed to accept suggestions and so had been bombarded by bands and artists I either did not know or had no interest in hearing.

So this time it's different.

The Great Prog Discography Project

Natch, it will only be prog artists - but they can be prog rock or prog metal, or a bit of both - and only ones I know and like. If you have a prog artist you want to suggest, keep it to yourself. No, seriously, sorry, that's rude isn't it? I meant to say fuck off. Look, if you really HAVE to have this artist reviewed try your luck, but the final say lies with me and I have no intention of taking on the discography of some artist just so you can giggle at me. So, you know my tastes: if you want to suggest something, put some thought into it. Ideally though, don't bother: I'm going to have enough to do here as it is.

Another difference is that this time I won't be doing one discography to the end and then another; I'll be going from one to another to another, chronologically of course, but it won't be the same artist all the time. This will give me a little scope for variety and ensure I don't get bored.

So for now anyway, the list looks like this. I will probably add others as they occur to me. No Genesis, Marillion or Yes albums, for obvious reasons.

Current list (to be updated with albums and later links as albums are reviewed)

Arena
The Dear Hunter
Fish on Friday
IQ (maybe)
Jadis
Kamelot
Millennium
Mostly Autumn
Pallas
Pendragon
Red Sand
Shadow Gallery
Spock's Beard (maybe)
Threshold
