My biggest discovery is that the bus number 4 go at the other end of the city 2 time faster that bus number 3 I used to take.

Beside that, I discovered almost all the prog band I know because I am a new Prog fan. Some band are really amazing!!! Just discovered spock's Beard and Gong this week!

Amazon.com LOL

I heard some amazing albums, but finally being able to expand my prog collection beyond the Genesis/Yes/JT/DT albums they have at the local record store was the best discovery of all

Knowing your taste, you'll love the feel of that album. Go for it.

I am soooo Amazed of how many other awesome Italian bands were in the 70's THAT I had never heard of until recently.

wow!! where Have I been?

( Thanks to a collage I am doing of the Italians and thanks to a friend's recommendation who also send me the images of the bands. I was curious enough to do some research to all these bands that stayed in obscurity until December 2008)

Why have I been so closed mind and only listen ( for years) or wanted just to buy?Le Orme , Banco PFMAnd Area Albums? why? Man!!!

Why?

when we have these other 70's fantastic bands?

I was blown away.....

I have to say that my biggest discovery would be this site. Since i've been here, i've had the oppurtunity to be introduced to so much great new music. Hopefully sometime I'll find a band that I love more than Tool, though at the moment I find that a bit hard to beleive.

Of the few interesting bands that I've discovered this year due to the site, I've stumbled across a couple good albums and listened to some great music by extreme bands like The Faceless, Cynic, and Death, and a couple classic bands like Gentle Giant and Zappa. Also, I've found the entire Post rock/metal group pretty interesting (though not necessarily prog in my opinion).

Hi! New around here, but progger for a long time. My discoveries of 2007 and 2008:

Atria
Triana
Poverty's No Crime
Threshold

Most of the times along this past couple of years my PDA has only played those bands, and somehow I still can't stop listening. They are AWESOME.

AstroAvia's faves:
Abraxas
Atria

UnexpecT, from Montreal.

Everything else that I really enjoyed this year was from someone or a band that I had already at least was aware of.

I like this new band Dawn and their one CD Loneliness. Pretty cool. There's also this Irish (?) instrumental post/prog-rock quartet called Parhelia. Good stuff. I also first got to hear Lucifer's Friend and the wonderful vocals of John Lawton in '08. Better late than never, as they say.
