Progressive rock (often called prog rock) is a style of rock music that developed in the late 1960s and 1970s, aiming to push rock beyond simple song formats into something more ambitious, experimental, and artistic.

Key traits:

• Long, complex compositions (often album-length concepts)
• Shifting time signatures and advanced musicianship
• Influences from classical, jazz, and electronic music
• Conceptual or philosophical lyrics
• Heavy use of keyboards (Mellotron, synthesizers), alongside virtuosic guitar and drums

Notable bands include Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, and Emerson, Lake & Palmer.
