Progressive rock's popularity peaked in the mid-1970s, when prog artists regularly topped readers' votes in mainstream popular music magazines in England and America, and albums like Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells topped the charts. By this time, several North American progressive rock bands had been formed. Kansas, which had actually existed in one form or another since 1971, became one of the most commercially successful of all progressive rock bands. Pop star Todd Rundgren cashed in on the progressive movement with his new band Utopia. Toronto's Rush became a major band, with a string of hit albums extending from the mid-1970s to the present. Less commercially successful were the Dixie Dregs, from Georgia (arguably more of a fusion band) and Happy The Man, a Washington D.C. based act.

In the late 70’s, the progressive rock scene was hitten by the press media that decided to give way to new music styles such as punk and the style lost it’s popularity very fast. Some of the most popular artists like Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Rick Wakeman, and Pink Floyd went to serious money difficulties after investing huge amounts in their shows. In the early 80’s, some progressive artists developed their sound into a more commercial product as AOR. This is the case of the supergroup Asia, Rush, or Foreigner. During the 80’s, there was a rebirth of the progressive sound with a new generation of artists influenced by new sounds like new wave and hard rock. The neo-progressive scene was headed by bands like Marillion, Pendragon, and Pallas.

Progressive rock developed from late-1960s psychedelic rock[1], as part of a wide-ranging tendency in rock music of this era to draw inspiration from ever more diverse influences. The term was applied to the music of bands such as King Crimson, Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, The Moody Blues, and Emerson, Lake and Palmer, and came into most widespread use around the mid-1970s. While progressive rock reached the peak of its popularity in the 1970s and early 1980s, neo-progressive bands have continued playing for faithful audiences in the subsequent decades.[1]
