Progressive Biography
I grew up constantly surrounded by music related stuff. My mother, of course, was sold to the Beatles' England 70's pop and I come from a familiy of fine piano and guitar players. THE BEATLES of course, are on top of my list with a lot of bands like R.E.M., THE TRAGICALLY HIP, THELONIOUS MONK, THE CURE, OASIS, SLOAN, THE BREEDERS, THE SMITHS, THE POLICE, PAVEMENT, OINGO BOINGO and ULTRAVOX mainly. From age 4 (discovered Duran Duran, Pet Shop Boys, Michael Jackson and Cyndi Lauper) I got addicted to music. And I mean ADDICTED. All the information I could get on any artists, I got it. Thanks to my tv addicted dad, who bought a huge old fashioned satellite dish in '89, MTV always had a huge place in our hearts. I stayed up to date to mostly rock and pop genres throughout the 90's. But I've always been tempted by keyboard-oriented, longer pieces of music and time changes. Well, I started (as a good canadian) with all-star Rush who gave me a great chance to get acquainted with art rock. I had every RUSH album since age 16 and so on, I grabbed knowledge from here and there. I did also realize in that era that listening to this kind a music makes you a potential member of the geek factory. But my real craving for progressive rock started when I got married ; when my father-in-law told me that he saw GENTLE GIANT many times at the Laval's University (in 74 and 75). He told me many times stories how good they were and I purchased many GG albums immediately. Then I got more and more curious to find something to feed my brain who seemed to grow insatiable. I try to keep my mind as open as possible, but my preferences tends to go in the same directions. I'm not pretending to be a good reviewer, I judge by how the music makes me feel, nothing always technical. I do, on the other hand, take this whole 'sacred' progressive rock very lightly. My favorite band is changing every 2 weeks litteraly, but I do confess that Gentle Giant is one serious name. So tell me my opinions stinks, I'll tell you: " I knew it before you did. " Dream Team: Ritchie Blackmore---Guitars and general bad mood Sting---Bass, self-rightousness and Vocals Dave Grohl---Humility, caffeine and Drums Tony Banks---Intolerance, Organ and Keyboards
