Hello everyone!!! So, I decided to create my topic after all, I kinda think people will stop posting here but it's a pain to remember where did you post every time! As some of you already know I'm new to prog! I've known Pink Floyd for a while and I really like their music, but it is not the bottom line. I decided to explore into the regions of prog music when my cousin gave me a cd of Dream Theater, the finest prog metal music I've ever heard!(words from a very green rookie I've never seen them live, but they are coming to my country(Mexico) this march!!FINALLY!! So I hope to be on the front row. I do not own all their albums yet because I want to buy other albums as well. Besides, it's kinda cool to think there are still many songs i do not know out there, waiting for my mind! Nevertheless I crave for their b-sides and rarities! I own only a couple of 'em and there are a whole bunch, so I guess I will wait to buy their bootlegs through the net, since I don't download music(not because I don't want to, my computer sucks! Anyway, I wish for everyone at this site, or at least a few, to suggest new horizons for me, since I'm new to prog and open to anything!However, I wanna start with the basics, classic ones. My top ten for beginners are(without DT and PF and disregard of order): Rush, Yes, King Crimson, Genesis, EMerson Lake and Palmer, Jethro Tull, Marillion, Frank Zappa, Porcupine Tree and Dali's Dilemma. Well, the last two aren't classics or must-buys but I'm lookin forward to them! What do you think?Should I reconsider the list? Am I leaving a must-have behind? I really don't know, this is my point of view and I ask for help. My plan is to buy an album, a really good one but not the best, from each band. I already have a Yes one(the yes story) It is quite good! It is a recopilation , I don't know if the other musicians are guests or were once in the group(Jemma Wakeman, Billy Sherwood) Help. I 'm in love with Tron Thomi, it is simply moving! Well, that's the gist of it. Hope we can help ourselves! Thanks! ------------- "Tis your birth and faith that wrong you...not I." |

hey. ive been sucked into prog by dream theater myself. and damn... prog changed my life totally  im becoming a 21st century schizoid man because of the prog  . and for the beginning i would reommend king crimson...they are ones of the best ive ever heard.. try their first album AT THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING. it is great though i dont think that its their best work unlike some people do my fav KC album would be (and IS) lizard. MASTERPIECE!! i dont have all DT albums too but im a maniac. as soon as i get some money i go to the record store to buy something that is made by those guys...id like to buy some more stuff made not only by DT, but its kinda hard to find something good here in lithuania... but at least weve got DT,PF,KC,some YES...seen two ELP albums.... i hope that some day DT would come to my country, but i doubt they would sell many tickets...not many people know Dt in lithuania...mostly musicians and few prog fans (its kinda hard so find them,i wonder if there arent many of them or are they afraid of daylight ). anyway... WELCOME------------- with a smile of a happy idiot |

thanks there! tough luck living in lithuania, anyway it's good there are some albums available out there. But if everything else fails there is always buying stuff from the net. At first I was quite skeptical about it, I'm not fond of computers, but the few orders I've made they have been successful. At least from amazon. About king crimson, i'm looking forward to buy an album, really. I even dreamt there was a king crimson movie!! ------------- "Tis your birth and faith that wrong you...not I." |

im new here too but i absolutely love dream theater me and my dad own all their albums from when dream and day unite to octavarium. but if u like dt try bands like THREShold and OCI also` there are the dream theater spin offs like: Madmen and sinners- with James labrie Spocks beard- Mike portnoy Transatlantic, Mullmuzzler, Liquid tension experiment etc. If u like dt i guarantee u will enjoy these My personal opinion for u try is THRESHOLD and there new album SUBSURFACE it is very good! well thats it from me Wopper |

1. A person who is completely loyal to a band reguardless of if they suck or not.
2. A pathetic insult often used by fanboys themselves to try and put down people who don't like whatever it is they like. "If you don't worship Yes and send them all your money and pay $500 for their entire discography I'm selling on ebay then your obviously a Dream Theater fanboy even though I've never heard you mention a single thing about Dream Theater the entire five minutes I've known you."

hi again! um, I did not expext to this forum to go on but anyway! Heey! I know there are dt haters out there! It is ok! imagine if EVERYONE in the world liked Dt! It would not be cool! So , i really don't care. Moreover, do hate them! Leave the good music to us, us the ignorant fools! Da! And about being a fanboy. He, don't bother, in a couple of years i will be diggin' in another band. But I will always luv DT! I SAW THEM LIVE!! Yaaaaaaay! It was breattaking, awesome, let me tell you that much! Geez, I want them to come really really soon. They played two of my favs: wait for sleep and learning to live. Man! Have you guys seen the Octavarium cartoon they present during the show? It is quite fun! I did not know Rudess also considered himself a keyboard wizard like Wakeman! ------------- "Tis your birth and faith that wrong you...not I." |

At first I really hated DT....it was too technical for me. My first choice of music was punk(I still like punk) so I kinda got used to 3 min. songs. But I listened to floyd when I was still beginning to like Rock Music...My fisrt album was Images and Words...it took me like 5 mos. to finish it completely...I ended up liking the band and hooking myself to prog. I recommend you to listen to Liquid Tension Experiment....I'm still a newbie but I'm gonna say this anyway....Do'nt limit your prog music horizons with DT...There's whole worlds to explore....Listen to YES, PINK FLOYD, GENESIS and other great bands here on progarchives. I did not know about progressive music then but progarchives expanded my horizons...Look at all the genres(or is it sub-genre,Newbie too!!

Um...sorry about that, it's just that something was wrong with my connection and my posts could not be posted And thanks for the suggestions! My roots are on grunge and metal music, but still prog is quite a world to get hooked with! So I'm looking forward to listen to many different bands! I'm still in the DT placenta, but it is only a matter of time until I explore the depths of prog, or at least the Titans. So far I've only known Yes! Quite good! And I'm stil open! ------------- "Tis your birth and faith that wrong you...not I." |

I do not realy know how this works so I'm giving it a try When quoting someone else’s post, it can be helpful to edit it down to the pertinent section or sections, rather than repeating the entire post. One way to do this is to type ["Quote"="forum name"] then paste in the relevant section you wish to quote ["/quote"] without any of the quote marks (").
