Progressive rock appeared in the 1960s when rock artists wanted to break the barriers of radio formatted pop and rock and progress of this musical to a place where he could reach a more sophisticated sound, similar to classical music or jazz. Progressive rock is difficult to define in a conclusive and we progressive rock bands to prove that. Some of the most important bands of the 70 that defines this type of rock does not have the same sound.

Psychedelic music is believed to be the starting point of progressive rock. Some people also believe that bands like The Beatles contributed to the progressive rock movement. However, two rock bands progressive than most people see as the first of this new genus were found King Crimson and Yes are progressive rock bands appeared at the end of the decade 1960 and, although the first group was attributed to the difficult sub-genre of progressive rock and symphonic rock second, both were classified as progressive rock bands, because their sound is unique and sophisticated. Genesis is another rock band that aspires to progressive rock. Their third album of progressive rock put things directly to this band. They were a symphonic rock band and therefore a progressive rock band.

Britain was the first country that started the progressive rock movement, But Italy was not very far either. Banco Del Mutuo Soccorco and Premiata Forneria Marconi were progressive rock bands that paved the way for all rock bands from across Europe to advance and define the rock genre. In regard to the progressive rock movement, these two European countries were the ones who opened all the doors and invited all the bands of rock to evolve and offer the world a great progressive rock albums. However, Britain remains the sponsor of the top progressive rock bands, with caravans, another progressive rock band in this country, being the third defining the progressive rock genre: Canterbury. Thus, in the late 1960s, bands progressive rock set up three sub-genres: hard prog, symphonic and Canterbury.

The 1970s represent the culmination of progressive rock as a genre and some of the best progressive rock albums were released in this decade. "Jethro Tull Thick as a Brick in" or Rush "2112" are just two of the most appreciated prog rock albums released in the 70s. Furthermore, this decade brought another ten sub-genres of progressive rock to life, and many progressive rock bands emerged in this period. Like progressive rock was not complicated enough, folk art, classical, prog, prog folk, ambient, river, pomp prog, jazz fusion, electronica, krautrock Zeuhl and were classified as sub-genres of rock genres from the 60s.

In the next two decades, progressive rock did not progress as much as it had up to that moment. In the 80s, was dethroned by the punk movement and progressive rock bands chosen to give birth to another sub-genre: neo progressive. There were few progressive rock albums released in the 80s, some of the most prolific of being Rush "Moving Pictures "or warning of Fate" No Exit. "Progressive Metal Rock also appears as a sub-genre in this period. The 1990s were dominated by the development of progressive metal, Dream Theater through. This decade is characterized mainly by the revival of the progressive scene in the seventies.
