I'm 19, first heard Selling England at 17 and loved every moment of it. Been listening to the Flower Kings even longer and they're similar

I think they can. I remember that when I was a 14-year old laddie, I had a transistor radio standing beside my bed. Between 10 PM and 11 PM I listened to the radio using an earphone, so that my parents would not catch me in the act. On this time some more progressive tracks from recently released albums were played. One of these albums was Selling England by the Pound. I did like the song Firth of Fifth, which was played several times in these days (autumn 1973).
However, my 14-year old daughter has her own preferences and she calls progressive rock 'beaver music' (formerly 'goat music'). It's just a matter of taste...

My son is almost three.  He loves Genesis, especially "Can-Utility and the Coastliners."

It's his favorite song ever.

Well, probably second to "The Wheels on the Bus."  Ermm

I ask this as my 13 yr old daughter asked me for some music to listen to as she settles down to sleep, as she knows i am way into music. I gave her Genesis' "Selling England By The Pound". She is listening to it right now, i heard 'Dancing With the Moonlit Knight' a moment ago.
 
I hope she can enjoy this type of music as I have heaps to give her if so. Also I can talk to her about it and its important to have an interest with your teen daughters and sons.
 
My question is then is it possible for teens to enjoy this type of early prog rather than the stuff on the radio that is churned out? I hope so, as then we would have a common interest. Interesting thought....
