The only prog related thing my dad had in his collection at least that stood out for personally was "The Yes album"(He also had Santana and Mahavishnu Orchestra's "birds of fire" but those don't scream prog as much as YES does. LOL). But TYA was indeed a factor in me getting into prog. When YES hit with their 90125 thing it served as a reference point and I eventually discovered their back catalog. THat and these brothers who were at my camp in 1984 who were big YES fans as well as a cousin who was big into Genesis in particular.

I discover prog in the internet, my parents like real bad music and my friends don't like prog, so, looking for bands that sounds like Pink Floyd, I started to search... and here I am :D

I'm surprised to see how many younger folks listening to the prog are there, I was always convinced prog listeners must be in their fourties or fifties nowadays! The world will never stop surprising.

Interesting demographics for sure. I understand where the main peak (45 to 55 years old) comes from: these are the folks who started buying their own records in the 1970s, when the genre's greatest bands like KC, Yes, Genesis, PF, ELP and Jethro Tull were at their absolute best, and their music was considered perfectly mainstream.
But then there is the second(ary) peak, this time by the 25-year-olds, for whom prog wouldn't have been something that they naturally grew up with.

I'm still 42 since my last post, and most likely will remain so for the next 9 months

(^Chris, long time no see - I suspect Hugues must have prompted your return ) I can see a dip in the 30's which is unsuprising, judging by my limited time...
