Spock kills Kirk? I wonder why. That gotta be a must-see episode, even though I'm not a Star Trek fan at all.

It does look like a bit like a stargate from the Stargate series.

No.
 Just to get back to the topic: my story started with American oldies rock-n'-roll. Heard Boston, Jefferson Airplane, Floyd, 60's psych, etc. Floyd led me to the term "prog rock", which led me to King Crimson's "The Court" (the title track, of course), and ever since then I was thinking and hearing music every day, just like Neo thinks and sees the Matrix every time he gets plugged in.

Looking back if I'm honest, it would have to be Rush. But I also credit Zep with being great at progressing their material - mainly live but also over their career - something Rush doesn't do, at least not very well.

The first group I remember really appreciating in the 70s was Mott The Hoople, followed by Roxy Music and Sparks, which probably led me to appreciate the more experimental music and prog groups such as Curved Air, VdGG, KC, Tangerine Dream, Hawkwind and Amon Duul 2. As keen as I became on punk and new wave in the late 70s, I carried on listening to these and still do.

I guess for me being a teen in the eighties(I know I'm an anomaly like that on here
)and getting into music in a big way in the decade I was first exposed to prog rock via classic rock and all the usual suspects. Yes was the first band who I know were referred to as prog rock who I really got into. Before them I was into Led Zeppelin in a big way so I suppose that made it easier since I know some of their songs were long. But really it was Yes then Genesis, Rush, Pink Floyd, King Crimson and ELP then from there the dominoes just fell.  At one point my ex step mother's brother who was a musician and a dj told me if I was into that stuff to check out a band called Gentle Giant. Eventually I did. I don't think he was much of a prog fan but he had one good recommendation with GG. After kind of moving away from prog, I got back into it in the late nineties thanks to the internet and books like "the progressive rock files" and "the music's all that matters."

For me it was The Moody Blues DOFP & Peter Green's Oh Well in 1967, then King Crimson- ITCOTCK, Blodwyn Pig- Ahead Rings Out & Frank Zappa's Hot Rats in 1969.
Soon after : Soft Machine, Stawbs , Tonton Macuote, Gravy Train, Quintessence, Gentle Giant, Maharishnu Orchestra And of course Pink Foyd. Edited by Aquiring the Taste - November 02 2012 at 00:57 |

First introduction was my year 8 music teacher playing us Rick Wakeman's "Catherine Howard". This was in 1989. I think I was the only one in the class who liked it.
I got into Queen in the early 90s (their 70s material, I hated most of their later stuff). I was reading rock magazines like Juke, and they used to routinely dismiss Queen's 'art-rock' as 'pretentious', 'pompous' and 'self-indulgent'. I started noticing references to other 'art-rock' bands who were dismissed with the same words - 'ponderous' was another one that got used. Bands like Yes and ELP. After one article I read described Tales From Topographic Oceans as the worst double album ever (precisely because it was so 'pretentious', 'pompous', 'ponderous' and 'self-indulgent'), I was sufficiently curious enough to go buy it. It was like nothing else I'd ever heard. From there - Close To The Edge and Fragile; ELPs first album, Genesis Nursery Cryme, King Crimson's In The Wake of Poseidon, Jethro Tull's Aqualung. Another teacher lent me the McDonald & Giles album, and Tully's Sea of Joy (which started my interest in Australian bands). Kept collecting - went off 70s prog for a while in favour of the pre-prog 60s rock scene, but gradually found my way back. Discovered the Strawberry Bricks website (and later, this one), which introduced me to many more bands than I ever realised existed. 500 or so albums later...

I listened to a lot of Metallica when I was in high school, particularly ...And Justice for All. Also, Tool released Lateralus, which I loved then and now. I had a Yahoo Launchcast page which played music based on the bands I liked, more or less like Pandora now. Though that, I discovered Liquid Tension Experiment, Dream Theater, and Opeth, and I started searching for the bands that inspired them.
