    PINK FLOYD
    Obscured by their dark side by Kevin Cenedella
    "Imagine, if you will, a time when Pink Floyd straddled the line between being a novelty act and achieving arena rock superstardom. A time when their reputation as conceptual geniuses was not yet set and they actually considered calling it quits. The
    early seventies were a trying time for the band and their emotions often swung with successive triumphs and failures."


    PROG ROCK/CRITICAL REACTION II
    Eclecticism as a End in and of Itself by Gary Gomes
    "In the last article, I tried to make a point that Allen Sherman's My Son, the Nut and novelty records in particular--as already pointed out by Andy Partridge of XTC and the Dukes of Stratosfear--were the foundation for psychedelic music. I would argue
    that they helped lay the foundation for Progressive as Psychedelic and Progressive are really members of the same family."
