Radio Rock UK is an Internet radio station broadcasting 1970s' British progressive rock music. The station has brodcast since July 2000, and has a regular six figure audience located across five continents.
The music we play is not what you might find on the average classic rock radio station. Radio Rock UK plays the tracks that other stations no longer play: the forgotten tracks and the long twenty minute or even thirty minute tracks. This station looks back to an era when rock musicians were beginning to take their art seriously; though some would say too seriously. But it was a time when people began to really listen to popular music, and listen for long periods of time: rock songs had begun to resemble symphonies. This was the dawning of the era of British progressive rock bands: Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis, Caravan and The Soft Machine, and Emerson Lake and Palmer, to name just a few. The music of these bands was largely produced without the sole consideration of being commercial, band members preferred instead to make music of their own choice. Many of these progressive rock bands have endured, withstanding the test of time, and remain equally as popular today as they were over thirty-five years ago. Radio Rock UK also remembers a time when British radio stations – Seagull, Caroline, and Geronimo, responded to the influence of the new bands and began playing long sets of uninterrupted music.
Radio Rock UK plays music by the following artists: Pink Floyd, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Yes, Genesis, The Strawbs, Syd Barrett, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, The Moody Blues, Camel, Caravan, Led Zeppelin, Renaissance, The Nice, Soft Machine, Gong, Hatfield & The North, Hawkwind, Procol Harem, David Gilmour, Ten Years After, Uriah Heep, Wishbone Ash, Barclay James Harvest, Gentle Giant, Jon Anderson, Greg Lake, Steve Howe, Brian Eno, Fleetwood Mac, Cream, Blind Faith, Traffic, Van Der Graaf Generator, Atomic Rooster, David Bowie, Rick Wakeman, Peter Frampton, Pentangle, Steve Hillage, Steve Hackett, Chris Squire, Al Stewart, John Mayall, Richard Wright, John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, Robin Trower, Peter Gabriel, Peter Hammill. . . .
