Discoveries for me: 1. Dream Theater 2. Allan Holdsworth 3. ELP 4. VdGG I definately have to say that my favorite of this year was Dream Theater. Metal (certain groups. i.e. Metallica, Iron Maiden) have always had a special place with me. I saw them when they were opening for Yes, and they made an incredible impression on me. ELP I've heard of prior to listening to them, I just never listened to them, what a mistake I made! -------------

ProgArchives.com, of course! Prog-wise, I think Hatfield and the North and P.F.M. were my main discoveries - just fantastic! |

Before I joined, my collection of prog CDs was limited to little outside of Pink Floyd and Rush. now, my collection has almost quadrupled in size. needless to say, this past year has been quite interesting for me. And, it's all thanks to... PROGARCHIVES!!!!! |

I lived in a musical timewarp since Fish left Marillion. My 2 main discoveries: 1.Porcupine Tree ( I now have every single album yet scarcely heard of them until last July) But I have a massive playlist of "Various Prog" from this site that I listen to, in full, every fortnight at least.

my favorites over the last couple of years, dont find
much that moves me these days, so the rarity is quite a find for me! progish - Bozzio Levin Stevens - Black Light Syndrome Mermen - Amazing California Health and Happiness others - Larry Carlton - Sapphire Blue Wynton Marsalis - Mr. Jelly, Lord Action Figure Party - same St. Germain - Tourist were pretty good too, just a little to polished or simple for my old ears. |

Just today I discovered one of the greatest albums of 2004: Marbles True, while it doesn't live up to Marillion's fish-era productions, but it is still an outstanding album. I would have to say, so far, it is one of the greatest releases of 2004. |

Riverside - Out of Myself Overhead - Zumanthum (mp3 free download on official website, very good, somewhat comparable to riverside's album, maybe even better. There is a new album on the way if I'm not mistaken. ) IQ - Dark Matter Kansas (knew 2 songs of them but didn't know they were any good besides that) And The progarchives, which gave me more insight in what it is i like about, and like in music. Long Live progarchives and mailto:M@x - M@x and all who contributes, Heep Heep Horray. ------------- I'm always almost unlucky _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Id5ZcnjXSZaSMFMC Id5LM2q2jfqz3YxT |

Beyond all great albuns made this year, I have to advice this one, because it is very unknown and so, underrated: FORGOTTEN SUNS - Snooze |

Progressive rock is my big discovery. My favorite discoveries within prog being Jethro Tull, Opeth, Captain Beefheart, Frank Zappa and Gong. Outside of prog rock my favorite discovery is the amazing music store Amoeba Music. If you are ever in Los Angeles you must go there with like $100 bucks.
