I was born in 66. I was aware of some Prog in the 70s. I was vaguely aware of Selling England by the Pound and Wind & Wuthering from the radio and a friend of mine had and played me The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway when it first came out. I had a lot of friends who were into Rush (I grew up in the States just two hours from Toronto). But I entered high school in 1980, and it was then that I bought Abacab and then moved onward into Prog, listening many hours to the Lamb. I found out about a lot of Prog through an anthology of Rolling Stone reviews at a Walden's bookstore.

Not when I got in to prog, but I recall when my step-sister (older than me by 5 years) bought a cassette of what she called this "really strange album". It was Abacab.
She also had a boyfriend who brought Yessongs (all 3 LPs) over and left it for a while. (Along with 90125, of all things.)

70s with Demons and Wizards being the kicker--though The Beatles and Days of Future Passed had certainly laid the groundwork.

I'm only a youngin on this site, well compared to most guys,  so it's only been so recently. I actually started off with a lot of Prog Metal, like DT of course, Protest the Hero, Between the Buried And Me, Meshuggah, etc. So that was around like ending of grade 8, beginning of grade 9; went to the classic from there on. I actually find my self appreciating those bands more now then I did then.

It's funny how so few people, so far anyway, got into prog in the 90's. In the eighties prog was pretty invisible for the most part although in reality the big named seventies bands such as Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd as well as Rush were all pretty big and also ELP(with the ELPowell lineup) to some degree. I think a lot of us who got into these bands in the eighties(including myself) just discovered these bands back catalogs and got into prog that way.
In the nineties prog was just starting to gain some momentum again but it was mainly limited to newsgroups and websites. In the 2000's there were social media sites like Myspace, Facebook and the increasing popularity of prog festivals such as Rosfest and Nearfest to help the genres visibility.

Please read!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!: Earlier someone mentioned
they didn't vote for sixties because they didnt' see that option. I have
since added a vote to the 1960's to honor that posters initial choice. So now I would like to ask one person(only one) who did not yet vote who would vote for the seventies to not vote in order to have things equal. Please respond here if you would have voted for the seventies but didn't. Just one person. Thanks. I know it's a strange request but I want this to be as accurate and as fair as possible so please humor me.

I got into Rush around 2008/09 that was when I was unaware of Progressive Rock's existence. In late 2011 I decided to listen to Yes, Genesis, and King Crimson that's when it started...

I have honoured your request, even though my dearest mother was only 4 in 1970.
