Hello!
My name is Melanie and I've been haunting PA for several years now. I stumbled across the site one day while trying to find some info about a band and have been hooked ever since. I'm not too huge in music discussion - if I like something that I hear then I like it and if I don't like it then I don't like it. Pretty simple. :^)
I know this isn't the place for it, but I joined the forums to suggest Planet P Project be put on the list (did a forum search also and didn't get one hit). Once I get a little more info on it, then I'll suggest it in the right place. Actually, I was pretty surprised to find that Tony Carey's project isn't listed here at all. I just listened to Pink World for the second time. Terribly under-rated if you ask me. Tony Carey's strong vocals, storyline and orchestrations are really first rate.
My parents made sure I listened to the good stuff when I was little. The house was always full of Supertramp, Yes, Steely Dan and Jethro Tull. My dad was horrified when he found out that I liked Rush also. He says Getty Lee sings like he's been gelded. In recent years I've really taken a liking to various genres of prog, mostly symphonic but I also really like jazz rock/fusion. I think Zeuhl is pretty interesting also. Most folks I know don't understand my musical preference at all. Some say it's weird; some say I'm weird for listening to it. Sorry, I don't like mainstream radio. Anyone can eat out of a trashcan. It takes a connoiseur to find the delicacies. Just sayin'...

Planet P Project - a candidate for Crossover from the descriptions I see on the net. Grab some YouTube vids and hit the suggest new artists forums my suggestion for procedure for that case.
As a welcome video for you, how about a taste of Rick Miller?
