Hello proggers

Hello from France everyone !

I'm a prog-lover since years now, I started with progressive metal (Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree metal years etc), and now I'm a big fan of 70's prog bands ! I'm also a musician and try my best to do some proggy stuff on bass and guitar !

I mostly listen to Steven Wilson, Riverside, Haken, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Yes, Soft Machine, Frank Zappa but also lots of fusion jazz (Chick Corea's Return to Forever, Snarky Puppy, Hiromi) and metal (Gojira...).

This forum looks amazing for discovering new stuff I guess I will love it !

Welcome, I love Soft Machine, Pink Floyd and King Crimson and plenty of Frank Zappa. I like Return to Forever too, but am mostly into the more experimental ones and electric Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock.

And yep, this forum and site in general is great for discovering new-to-you music and the forumites tend to be very eager when it comes to recommending music. Pretty often those recommendations are spot-on. Sometimes the fanboy/ fangirl in us lead us to recommending the kind of stuff someone is not looking for, but generally the recommendations are really good. I've discovered music just by looking at polls with a youtube tab open as well as recommendations made to me personally by people who know my tastes well.

There are a number of musicians here too, so there is the possibility to connect to other musicians and talk musician stuff. We have even had a few music collaborations organised through the forum over the years. I play guitar myself, albeit it not well.
