Progressive rock is a form of rock music that evolved in the late 1960s-1970s.Progressive rock bands pushed rock's technical and compositional boundaries by going beyond the standard rock. The arrangement often incorporated elements drawn from classical and jazz.Songs with lyrics were sometimes conceptual, abstract, or based in fantasy. Progressive rock bands sometimes used concept albums that made unified statements, usually telling an epic story or tackling a grand overarching theme.
Progressive rock developed from late 1960s psychedelic rock, as part of a wide-ranging tendency in rock music of this era to draw inspiration from ever more diverse influences.
