I listen to Camel's Snow Goose on my bus ride back from school while playing air-guitar in the isle... When it's the smooth slow guitars, I go back in my seat until my next time to rise

Singing/reciting  prog songs, mostly Genesis, in public.  I still do that.  When I'm not talking to myself, that is. Why care about what others think?

I don't know if this is a reflection of how much I like prog or how lazy I am.  After buying Neal Morse's One CD, I liked it so much that I took it wherever I went.  Well, I have two CD players at home and I got tired of switching it out of one and putting it in the other based upon what room in the house I was in.  So I bought another CD (and I don't spend much on music, trust me on this) so that I would have one in each player, always ready to go.  I listened to that CD every day for nearly 9 months!  Now that I don't listen to it as often, the extra CD has come in handy.  It is now my "loaner" copy.  Someone asks me what music I listen to, I hand them the CD and say, "Here's my type of music...listen to it 10 times and let me know what you think.  Don't listen to it just once, because it will go right over your head.  Let it sink into your bones.  Enjoy!"  (This actually works!)

I don't know... when I first got into music, ther was no internet and, living in a small not progressive country, the only chance to get some good albums was the following: going into an old hippie vynil store, and buying copies of those vynils, wich were passed to a tape. The whole process included waiting for the hippie, who also worked on a harbour. That means that the vynil store was open from 21:30 to 24:00. the store was located on a flea market, etc. Each visit provided me two album copies, one for each side of the 90 minutes tape, plus the xerox copy of the cover art, or a photograph. Then, on the way home, I has time enough to listen one of the sides of the tape. Later, once into bed, I use to check out the B side. ¿Is that weird enough?.

I understand the temptation Ekzodo ... but that's still nasty ...imagine if someone cleared out your prog collection ...

Hi trotsky!!!!!!!

i once strained my neck, headbanging..

it taught me a lesson!!! it gave me a 4- day stiff neck, and a soft cervical collar!!!!!

BTW, rainbows music is yummy!!!!!



heh heh Kill The King is still my number head-banging song ... although last two times I did were at Uriah Heep's show when they did Bird Of Prey and Deep Purple's when they launched into Speed King ...

I was still in my 20s then (three years ago) ... ... not anymore

Prog has inspired me to wear flared out jeans, denim jackets, long gothic capes and dressing up like a diasy on my trips to the grocery store!  I'm prog as hell.
