Being born in the mid 50's I am probably from the start of the second wave of baby boomers... The boomer generation as I understand it were born between the end of WWII and the mid 60's... or 1946-65 if you like. The first phase of boomers were the Woodstock / hippy / psychedelic 60's generation, the second phase of boomers included us 70's proggers.

^ I would not have responded had David not responded to it (with the laughing emoticon). That seems like rubbing salt on a potential wound. I don't think it helps with the air of making this feel like a welcoming and accepting forum.

I don't think it helps with the air of making this feel like a welcoming and accepting forum. If a wound is really a case, then it might be a good lesson regarding reading the OPs, and maybe you should see how my OP has been looking for some hours at this point of time. Besides that, there's a whole story behind my respond, which can be seen in the posts throughout the whole thread.

I understand the context, and ideally people would read and understand the OP, but people make mistakes, some have limited English, and I feel like we should be more forgiving and considerate of people who are new to the forum. Generally we are a friendly and cuddly bunch (okay, maybe I shouldn't go that far). ;)

My bad, I misunderstood the title (language barrier, as I believe somebody suggested)...I was born in '91, so I guess I was a couple of years late for this post.
Hrychu, I didn't take your comment as offensive. I know progressive rock from abroad could be heard on the local radio during the 70s (that changed after '82), and there are a few magazines (Pelo, for instance) which featured most of the bands I included on the list. Maybe not Secret Oyster...
Anyway, apologies, I'll get the hell out of this thread now.

That's awesome actually! This community needs more Millennials. And yes; my comment was a genuine question, so I'm glad you took is the way it was intended.

^I'm 64, so my list followed your OP.
