Are you looking for challenging music ? - something that shakes you, and grips you, and transports you to places you never dreamed of ?
Well then, stop here for a spell. You'll find an assortment of some of the absolute best progressive artists and groups, from delicate and lyric (e.g. Jeff Buckley), to harsh and battering (e.g. Zero Hour).
These acts I can guarantee for ! Each of them is worth an experience, each is unique, seeking, challenging, and exciting.
I have probably missed some, and therefore I would be happy to receive proposals for further pantheon groups. But they have to be professional, special, suffused with intelligence, passionate, and they have to rock.
Feel free to post anything that comes to your mind, in this thread, or to Nicky007b at gmail.com.
