1973: A Year In Progressive Rock
1973 Progressive Rock - Book - by Geoffrey Feakes
(2022)
1973
was the year when the progressive rock reached maturity and public
acceptance. Many of the key bands of the era - including Yes, Jethro
Tull and Pink Floyd - were amongst the biggest selling artists of the
year worldwide. Covers 20 of the key albums of the year, plus an
overview of the year and the burgeoning selection of sub-genres
connected to the best sellers.
During
a decade that defined progressive rock, 1973 was a pivotal year.
Influential bands like Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Emerson, Lake &
Palmer, Jethro Tull and King Crimson released some of their best-selling
albums and there was a plethora of releases from less well known, but
equally worthy acts. This book is a journey through this creative
period; stopping off on route to explore symphonic rock, the Canterbury
scene, Krautrock, fusion, progressive folk, art rock, space rock, album
artwork and much more.
The
author was in his late teens in 1973 with an insatiable appetite for
music and remembers the period with affection but this book is much more
than a nostalgic trip down memory lane. It's a comprehensive and
knowledgeable guide to an era when music with multiple sections, rich
textures, intricate time signatures, inspired arrangements and diverse
influences performed by skilled musicians was a universal language. For
the discerning music lover, it was possible to journey to the dark side
of the moon, take a dip in topographic oceans, encounter pot head pixies
from a distant planet and still be home in time for larks' tongues in
aspic.
