How old are you? At what age did you discover prog

There is also a large group that listens to our national rock. Artists like Calamaro, Spinetta, Charly, Cerati, Los Piojos, etc. Within that group, there is a fairly large minority that also listens to Argentine rock from the seventies (Pescado Rabioso, Invisible, Los Gatos, La Máquina de Hacer Pájaros, Manal, Aquelarre, Sui Generis, Serú Girán, among others).

Here in Latin America, "El Flaco" Spinetta is very well known, and outside the continent, he is a cult artist, but not as well known (which still makes me very happy).

From your profile on the forum, I assume you are Polish. Despite there being a relatively large Polish diaspora in Argentina, Polish music is practically unknown here, and that is very sad. I can say that the little Polish music I have heard is amazing. SBB, Laboratorium, Cytrus, Niemen, Exodus, and Riverside (a band with quite a large following here) are fantastic artists who should have more recognition here and in the world.

I was already into a lot of classical music, and specially some of the more adventurous ones of the modern days, that by the time I heard pop music (Brazil 1965) on a teeny weeny radio, I thought it was stupid, and silly ... but later amended the idea as more, and better works appeared. When I first saw that someone had done a version of Mussorgsky, I immediately went out and got the LP and I guess that brought me into what we consider "progressive" though at the time ... there was no such thing. 

To me, they were folks my age, doing something that they could not do on Sunday Nights on campus, when so many over rated classical music folks do their concerts and get paid more than a lot of rock bands ... it wasn't hard to notice that there were some greats in rock music that were not appreciated in classical music ... can you imagine Keith bringing Tarkus' score to a professor? Who do you think you are? And how can you consider that important when it has little theme continuity for us to follow? And what makes you think you can compose something like that and think it is a piano concert? AND, of course, Keith will be remembered and played far into the eons a lot more than that moron of a professor that had no ability or taste in music whatsoever!

I've never looked back, since! No one can "define" or "specify" that something or other is not good, or is not worthy of being there.
