Music Suggestions

Hey Amalia, welcome to the site, have a great time on it. By now I think you may have noticed this is a boys site mostly, and you now know what exactly is a "sausage fest" 

Thanks for providing so much entertainment in such a short time.

Amalia, I have an RPWL compilation if you're interested.

If you like Opeth, then

You should get some King Crimson too; they're essential

By the way, since you said you have no money, I'd recommend just listening to stuff on grooveshark.com.   They've got a lot of really good stuff

Know what else I think would be of use to you?

this

well, having the best first post we've seen in months helps

You said new music ?
Check out Atomsmasher (electro-noise-avant-garde-grindcore) or Born under saturn (black metal meets hardcore !)

Anyway there are a lot of good music to like besides prog : country, bluegrass, folk, gothic rock, folk, trip hop, blues, soul, funk, world/ethnic, extreme metal, jazz, electronic music, classical music, AOR, reggae, ska, tango, calypso, cha cha cha, punk...

Just PM me if you want recommendations in either genre.

In that case, Miles Davis

That's good news !
