The Sheer INSANITY of 70s Prog Rock (feat. Elder)

What do Eddie Van Halen, Jimmy Page, and the prog rock giants of the 70s all have in common? A spirit of fearless musical innovation. The conversation explores the genius of sonic experimentation, from classic rock's greatest guitarists to the compositional "madness" of bands like Yes. Nick DiSalvo of Elder shares his awe after a recent deep dive into the "insane" complexity of the classic album "Tales from Topographic Oceans." This is a celebration of the "madmen" who pushed the boundaries of music and forever changed what was possible. Who is your favorite musical innovator?
