I got around to watching “Prog Rock Britannia: An Observation in Three Movements” last night (thank goodness for recording technology!).  It was thoroughly entertaining.  I was really surprised though that there wasn’t a lot about Pink Floyd and I may be wrong, but no mention of Van der Graaf Generator and Peter Hammill.  Maybe the intention was to focus on the more successful bands?

It would have been nice to have a passing mention at least on the non British bands that were around at the time, and modern bands that are carrying the prog flag as it were.

It also bemused me more than a little that as part of the Prog rock “season” that the Genesis concert shown was from their least proggy phase.
