Modern Progressive Art Rock Albums (#1-201)



 This is kind of my Holy Bible of Rock music this Century.


Admittedly, it's a long, bloated list with many artists with several albums each included, but still warranted for me.

This really is my shit, and I feel like 1 of the only people who champions this hybrid of styles that connect through being progressive or artsy with modern rock/pop/folk/electronic/post/math/chamber music.

Certainly, it's not definitive, but it is the best I can do for now without overthinking for countless more hours/days/weeks/months or even years.

It's going to be reviewed in the coming days/weeks on the allmediareviews blog YouTube Channel likely starting 12/1/22.
