This episode of "Is It Prog" centers around the progression of the length of rock songs over the history of the genre, with a focus on the Progressive Rock musicians who kept pushing it further and further.
Obviously, in 15 minutes I couldn't do a completely comprehensive history, and there are a lot of landmark songs that I did not talk about, so feel free to discuss more about the topic in the comments!
