Now that the "old" guys Wink are posting in this thread, it is only right that another "young" guy posts in here.  Heck, I'm not even 40 yet. LOL

I would like to go back in time where i was 14 to start over again listening to prog. Now i am beginning to be desperate just thinking that there's only 20 years or so to go...Cry

I started to listen to top-40 music at the age of 11 and about the age of 13 or 14, I completely turned to prog and I have always been since, though I became a less active listener in the 90's. Since I discovered PA, I try to update my knowledge of prog. I'm in my final forties now.

I was around 14 when I first found Pink Floyd, but now I am about to turn 19, pretty much like a lot of people, except I never liked Dream Theater. LOL Metal isn't my thing, but I have always been drawn to experimental/psychedelic/space rock type stuff, and a little jazz influence never hurts. The best advice I would be able to give to someone who is "just starting out" in prog is to go full steam ahead, and Rush usually wins every poll. Tongue
