A common misconception about progressive rock is that it's nothing more than music to listen to when you get stoned, which is not true.

Another misconception of progressive rock is that it's just noise thrown together to sound vaguely like music. This is also not true, or for most bands at least.
Pink Floyd is generally considered to be the first and best progressive rock band of all time, and is defined by their career during the 70s.

Some other famous progressive rock bands include Radiohead (post-OK Computer) and Dream Theater.
