Tato studie představuje analýzu dobové recepce progresivního rocku v americkém populárně-kulturním periodiku Rolling Stone mezi lety 1969-1979. Popsané trendy recepce progresivního rocku ve specifickém kontextu americké rockové kritiky 70. let 20. století dále komparuje se zažitým narativem o dobovém kritickém přijetí tohoto stylu ve formě tzv. punkového diskurzu. Tvorba širšího okruhu progresivního rocku je zde za účelem ilustrace dílčích specifik a rozdílných přístupů rozdělena do čtyř stylových podkategorií, pro něž je navrženo nové názvosloví.

Reception of Progressive Rock in Rolling Stone Magazine in the Period 1969-1979

This text presents an analysis of contemporary critical reception of progressive rock in Rolling Stone magazine in the years 1969-1979. The findings are subsequently compared with the common popular music history narrative in the form of the so-called punk discourse. A new classification of progressive rock sub-styles is introduced for the purpose of demonstrating varying attitudes of contemporary critical reception toward various stylistic families of the broader progressive rock genre in the 1970s, proposing also new Czech nomenclature.

Keywords: progressive rock, Rolling Stone, popular music, popular culture, music criticism, rock criticism
