I've not listened to much Kansas. Maybe one for the future. To be honest I don't listen to Marillion too much these days. I gave up on them when Fish left and it's only recently that I've listened to some of the post Fish albums (bought "Brave" recently).
I only got into Gentle Giant a few years ago. Having known about them for many years I'd always assumed they were nothing special (wrongly of course). I saw the Steve Wilson remastered version of Octopus was coming out, got it, and was totally blown away by how good these guys were. That sort of lead me on to VdGG and also Gryphon, and these are the bands I've been listening to mostly over the last couple of years (and Camel which I also picked up on a few years ago). I've always been a big Yes fan, as well as classic Genesis and King Crimson. I've never taken much to ELP though. They just don't do it for me.

Welcome! I am quite the same age as you. Remember still, when Marillion was on the top, they showed their concert from the Finnish television then. But I was already listened seventies prog then, so they made me never really big impression, but of course it was great to see prog in television (almost the same time came also quite newmade Kansas concert, Elefante as singer).

The beauty about prog music, there's so many genres and sub-genres, you can pick and choose your favourite...

Hi all! Been looking at the forums for a while and enjoying reading the great discussions on here, and finally got around to setting myself up as a member and thought I'd introduce myself. I've been a prog fan since I was 15 (now mid forties) but finding this excellent site has been a real treat and it seems like a gold mine of information. I've already bought quite a few new prog albums based on reviews and ratings on here, and it's expanding my prog horizons. First got into prog via Marillion. Can't remember how now, but I think I must have heard Kayleigh on the radio and went out and bought Misplaced Childhood. A friend at college, who was a bass guitarist and who also liked Marillion, said this band called "Yes" were even better, and, as I respected his musical opinion, I went out and bought Fragile, and I've never looked back since. I got heavily into the Indie scene in the 90's, but I was always a progger at heart, and I've since returned to my musical home. Great to find a site that seems to have so many kindred spirits as I usually only get abuse for being a prog fan and it can seem like a lonely place to be, but prog has given me so much pleasure over the years I wouldn't change it at all. |
