Haha, I suck at subject titles. Anyway I'm obviously new so I guess this should be my first stop.

Prog. is by far my favorite genre of music, and I thought I had some solid knowledge on it.. until I registered here, anyway. You people are freakin' crazy. I respect that greatly and envy your insane amounts of prog. obsessiveness. Clap

My favorite band is Tool... yes, they are very overrated by many people but I love them and will not judge a band based on their fan base. Otherwise I would absolutely hate Dream Theater.

Random bands that I also like (because I feel like typing more)

Genesis, Pink Floyd, Yes, Supertramp, Led Zeppelin, Porcupine Tree, Lamb of God, Slayer, Deep Purple, Camel, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix Experience, King Crimson, Frank Zappa, Bad Religion, and The Who... these were all off the top of my head so don't crucify me for leaving <insert your favorite band here> out Tongue

Anyway I guess that's it, I'll try my best to learn and not make any naive statements about a genre which I obviously did not know as much about as I had thought.

See ya around!

Welcome! Here you will find a mixture of trolls, useful people, shut-ins who do nothing who post on the site and a sh*tload of music that you will eventually spend too much money on and then drown in debt and despair as you get addicted to the site and spend all your time surfing through the same three pages for hours on end.


and if that doesn't scare you then you'll do just fine

Haha yes, I can already tell you're not one of the obnoxious fanboys that I would have a problem with. Otherwise your post would have said "Well um actually no Dream theatre is teh best PROG band evar".
At least, judging from YouTube comments.

Thanks for all the welcomes guys. And yeah, I was scared by King By-Tor's post <__< but I'm not gonna lie, it sounds exciting Big smile

Shocked people have a problem with admitting they like Hendrix? I've never heard of that before.
Also, time for my first newbish question! Oh, the excitement.
How do I get that song-tracker thing in my signature?

Register at ProgFreak and click "signature" in the control panel thing in the top right.

Well, you will. LOL As for the song-tracker thing, if you have a last.fm account and you scrobble with iTunes or some other music-playing program, you can go to www.progfreak.com and get an account there (it's fast, trust me) and then get a custom signature for yourself.
