snobee 0 Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 70's 80's rock that could be boring as hell, but also muchly enjoyed if your head was spacy enough. SUPERTRAMP pretty much the quintessential prog.rock boyz. LED ZEP also, altho heavy/early metal purists may disagree. Link to post Share on other sites
