'76

My brother bought Kansas - Leftoverture on cassette because he liked the song Carry On Wayward Son. He didn't like the rest of the album, so the cassette quickly gathered dust, 'til I started listening to it. I think I eventually wore it out Smile

Sometime in '79 i started listening to Rush & Yes....

Let me guess. Your first prog album was Porcupine Tree's "deadwing." Wink That seems to be an album that helped catapault prog into the mainstream in the new millenium. It even made the top 200 album charts and was PT's first album to do so.

It has struck me that the devoted Beatles' fans all went with the Moodies, the Floyds and the rest of the so called prog bands, while the most devoted Stones' fans later prefered Led Zep, Purple and Sabbath.    
Really? I would have guessed the progression to be Stones to Bowie to Velvet Underground & New York Dolls to punk....


No, not in my age group (the dinosaurs), we never even noticed the punk movement. LOL
And the Bowie fans were younger.

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



Well then I hope the person who posted above you didn't vote for the seventies. I say this because if your mother was 4 in 1970 then that means you weren't even born yet(probably not until the nineties). I think you misunderstood my request.Smile

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

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.


In the 60s and 70s I didn't know I was into prog.LOL  I learnt that when I discovered this fantastic site.
So yeah, the internet is invaluable for spreading new music and that's probably why prog has become a sort of fashion these days.

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...
