PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #290 (The State of New Music in 2018)
Mike Pollack December 11, 2018THE PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #290 (The State of New Music – 2018) What is the state of the world as we reach the end of 2018? Let’s just say it’s ‘fuzzy’. But (attempting to remain in my ‘box’), I can definitely say that 2018 has been a ‘very very good’ year for Progressive Rock. So […]
PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #289 (Playin’ What I Want To)
Mike Pollack December 4, 2018THE PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #289 (Playin’ What I Want To) There comes a time when a DJ plays music on his show, simply because he wants to. Being the master of the realm, the DJ plays and the listeners… uh, listen. Well, that’s really not the case with me, but, I will be picking the […]
PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #288 (Friendly Relations)
Mike Pollack November 27, 2018THE PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #288 (Friendly Relations) The Progressive Rock community is a pretty tight-knit one. DJ’s, artists, and The Progressive Tracks Show is no different. This week (being Thanksgiving in the U.S.) I’m playing just a fraction of the people I’ve come to appreciate and respect. Oh… and why when you hear their music! […]
PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #287 (Music For the Dark Days)

PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #286 (Veterans/Armistice/Remembrance Day 2018)
Mike Pollack November 13, 2018THE PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #286 (Veterans / Armistice / Remembrance Day 2018) We owe a lot… to a few.

Remember, you can stream/download this, […]
PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #285 (The Hits Just Keep on Coming)
Mike Pollack November 6, 2018You can interpret this title (and image) any way you want. 2018 has been a prolific year for progressive rock, as well as some other not-so-positive things. The way you see things in general, may determine how you see this show. In any case, you’ll hear a lot of great new music this week! Remember, […]
PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #284 (Halloween 2018)
Mike Pollack October 30, 2018Halloween (All Hallow’s Eve… All Saint’s Eve… Samhain… however you refer to it) is upon us. So it’s time for us to explore some appropriately dark music, don’t you think? Good! I’m glad we agree. Let’s get digging then… Remember, you can access podcasts of any previous Progressive Tracks Show at: http://www.progzilla.com/?s=progressive+tracks (there are 123 now!). – […]
PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #283 (The State of the World)
Mike Pollack October 23, 2018Realizing that we can’t always stick our heads in the sand… I was able to find a theme in the midst of everything I was planning to play this week! So it’s time for a reality check. I call it “The State of the World”. Politics… espionage… climate change… country-first attitudes… gender relations… it’s all […]
PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #282 (Bottom Line: No Theme)
Mike Pollack October 16, 2018When a theme doesn’t come to me, I don’t ‘force it’… Besides, the music in this show will stand on its own! So take time to relax, put on your headphones, and immerse yourself in some quality new progressive rock. It may well be the most illuminating part of your day. Remember, you can access […]

Don’t worry, I know some tunes! ;o) Take time to relax, put on some headphones, and immerse yourself in some quality new progressive rock. It may well be the most illuminating part […]
