This month we pay tribute to the unstoppable juggernaut that is prog. Rhythm climbs aboard Mike Portnoy's Progressive Nation at Sea cruise and lets the lowdown on prog playing from Portnoy, Matt Halpern, Matt Garstka, Jerry Gaskill and many more. Plus, we count down the 30 most influential prog albums of all time.
