When rating prog albums I try to do so in a historical context, that is how an album compares against the entire body of Prog. This means that the best album for any given year, which most people would rate with top marks may not receive the same rating in my charts as only the best albums of all time should get the highest ratings... This chart does not include compilations or live albums.

My Ratings:
Note: I vote on a bell curve, anything above 6 is really good, anything much below 4 really isn't :D

Pia 13 VIII – Festiwal Legend Rocka 2010 - część II

No i przyszła pora na ostatni dzień największego muzycznego wydarzenia na Pomorzu. Tym razem organizatorzy przygotowali dla nas nie trzy zespoły, a cztery. A do tego jedną z gwiazd miała być kapela z Polski. Cóż to za grupa została postawiona obok Nicka Simpera i Procol Harum? O tym troszkę później...

Dzień ostatni - 15.08.2010

Passion Fruit

Kolejny dzień, kolejny młody zespół jako support. Tym razem postawiono na Passion Fruit z Włocławka, o którym istnieniu nie miałem nawet pojęcia. Zespół gra bluesa, a taki rodzaj muzyki nieprędko zobaczy się w telewizji czy usłyszy w radio. Grupę tworzą Andrzej Kuligowski (wokal), Mateusz Nalewajski (gitara), Adam Świerczyński (bas) oraz Mateusz Węgorowski (perkusja). Wszyscy oni mają po mniej więcej 19 lat, a sama kapela ma ledwo dwie wiosny na karku. Mimo to chłopcy mają na koncie wiele nagród, a dzięki właśnie takim festiwalom mogą trafić do sporej liczby wielbicieli tak niszowego gatunku.
