Not many at my school.
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

Im a junior at my school, and there are some people (roughly four of them) who seriously listen to prog, in addiiton to other genres of music.  In fact, they are the one's who introduced me to Porcupine tree and King Crimson, and good music for that matter.  These are the people who truly "know" music at my school.  For instance, i spent one of my journalism clases talking about King Crimson's Discipline for 40 minutes, the lyrics, the stories behind the songs, the memebers, and the lyrics.  Also, we talk about the Doors, Eno, Faust, Can, Gentle Giant, caravan. Yes, ELP, Camel, Opeth, and Porcupine Tree.  Its the depth of knowledge they have on these bands that make the discussions intriguing.  Im fortunate to have peeple outside this forum to talk about prog music.

The only people who like prog are the ones that I have introduced them to prog. I still haven't seen a prog rocker in school that know a prog band that I've never introduced them to. Except a friend of mine who discovered Rush and Pink Floyd by the help of his uncle, but now is my turn to mess up with his mind

Yeah, if you want that people like the same thing than you, you have to make them discover the beauty of prog . I think I did the same bringing a good friend of mine to a Musical Box show, I think it's the starting point of a looooooooong passion for prog. Maybe I'm wrong... he was listening to Pink Floyd way before I meet him so he would have discover that kind of music anyway, probably ....

In an other way, I dont give a sh** about the people around me, at school, they like songs I don't and they have te right to hate my music. I wont change my mind about what I like if nobody likes what is listen to. I don't want to see everybody wearing prog band t-shirt just because it's cool... I think it is a good think that prog isn't too popular.

Do you know anyone at your school/work that listens to prog?  I only know a couple of people at my school that listen to prog, such as Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, and Yes.  Of course my school also has the posers who wear Pink Floyd shirts, but can't name more than 3 of their albums. 

Sometimes it's lonely being the only IQ fan in my school.
