Hi, this is my my very first post on a prog rock forum. I have been into prog rock for a number of years, I started with Genesis, and pretty much stuck with them until their end, Calling all stations. After that I started to explore, I bought a few porcupine tree albums, my fave being stupid dream, then I discovered Unitopia a brilliant band which I listen to all the time. I then discoverd an old Marillion album Fugazi which I forgot I owned (Shame) I then listened to that non stop for months, and have just began buying Marillion's back catalogue, have recently just began listening to the Hogarth era with Afraid of Sunlight which I am enjoying. I am thinking of buying the Novus Rexus CD plowshares into swords, then bands big big train, and spocks beard. I would love to hear from anyone who rates these bands so that I don't make a mistake and buy a dud!
