Atlantic Records: Classic Rock

Early on, Atlantic Records made its name with jazz and soul, but in the late '60s and '70s the label was at the forefront of just about every major development in rock. The complex, classical-inflected prog epics of Yes, the blues-based jam journeys of Southern rock heroes The Allman Brothers Band and the earthy folk rock of Crosby, Stills & Nash are only the tip of a massive, trail-carving iceberg.
