I'm 17. I've only been listening to prog for a little over a year, but I already have a vinyl collection that is currently somewhere around 160. I mostly listen to the major British bands (mainly due to the difficulty in finding some of the more obscure/world bands). My parents really didn't listen to any prog, but when looking through a box of tapes my dad had hidden away I found Wish You Were Here, which he had completely forgotten he had.

Just in case anyone has not seen it, there is a pinned poll of members' ages in the Polls forum:

http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=703&am p;PN=1

You might want to vote in that poll so that the site Admin. gets an idea of the spread of ages of the membership.

49, but don't jump to the conclusion that us oldies are stuck in some sort of 70's timezone. The best music to listen to is something you have not heard before. The thrill for me is finding new works that I can grow to appreciate over a number of listens and believe me, as an oldie who has been through a few generations, there is far more good music being produced today than in the 70's. I think you will find most of us old proggers have an appreciation of music that transcends time and place.

44, I've been a Proghole since 1973. Maybe sooner, depending on what you view as "Prog."

I listen to a bit of everything, mostly modern stuff like Echolyn, IZZ, K2, Shaun Guerin, Steve unruh, Underground Railroad, Thieves Kitchen.... I listen to the classics on occasion, but I like to stay fresh. After Hearing Heart of the Sunrise around 3,600 times, I can wait a bit before I spin it again.

I'm also into instrumental stuff, mainly, Allan Holdsworth, Jonas Hellborg/Shawn Lane, Kofi Baker, McGill/Manring/Stevens and Ohm.

I'm just curious how old most of you are. My guess is that you guys are mainly in the 15-25 age range since many seem to focus on newer bands that most older fans probably wouldn't be aware of(ie Mars Volta, DT etc). I'm 35 and I usually feel young in the world of prog but it could be different in here. If so that's a good thing because it means prog is finally gaining a new generation and reaching a younger audience. :)

This will give you a nice insight in how old the members here are:

34. That's about five years older than Ian was when he wrote "too old to rock and roll, too young to die".

Hey TP can you list all those albums you have flashing on your screen? I recognize most but not all.


Already covered in this thread:

http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1076 0

Hope that helps! Check out the ones you don't know - they're all absolute masterpieces!

Edit: it keeps adding a space before the final "0". Remove that when you cut and paste.
