Progressive rock

Colosseum is a Progressive rock act. Their sound grew out of Black Sabbath, Juicy Lucy, Curved Air, John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers and Vertigo Records. Those roots explain a lot about how Colosseum arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as The Nice, Rare Bird, Mournful Congregation, Family and Wishbone Ash, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Atomic Rooster, Humble Pie and Caravan, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
