These were bands that moved away from traditional chorus-verse rock music to create a more fluid, ambient sound. There's a whole tonne of improvisation, stoner jams and songs that cross the eight minute mark. All these things really pissed off the Punks who convinced a lot of people not to listen to prog-rock. Which is a shame, because it's awesome, enjoy.

Telescopes and Telstar
Happy monday! It's International Astronomy Day, but if you don't fancy buying a telescope you can make do by listening to Space Rock instead. It's is a pretty good alternative because a) It's not as expensive as a telescope, and b) it completely rules. As a genre it's basically a more interesting way of saying "good prog"; there was a load of awesome bands making long spacey jams in the early 70s- Pink Floyd, Joe Meek, BBC Radiophonic Workshop and the mothers of space-rock, Hawkwind.
