I'm an embryo and I don't listen to anything other than Prog Metal, because I'm too immature to appreciate other styles of music

I got into prog when I was about 10 through Dream Theater. I still listen to a lot of Dream Theater, but in the last year or so I have really gotten into bands such as Genesis and Pink Floyd. I also enjoy jazz, contemporary rock and some classical.

Young people are better at internets

I'm 17 and I love every kind of Progressive (except Avant-Prog/RIO), and apart from Progressive I love Metal (from Classic Rock to Death/Melodic Black) and my favourite genre is AOR, expecially Westcoast AOR Tongue

I'm 15 and will listen to just about anything ranging from classic rock to prog metal to fusion to trance. I find that good music is good music and doesn't necessarily have to be a melting pot of signature changes and out-of-control mayhem (although it helps). I could listen to Echolyn one day, Megadeth the next, and AC/DC the next. That's usually my limit of simplicity though

There are some (like myself) who want to expand their musical horizons, from the mysterious soundscapes of Earth and Dirge, to the chaotic free jazz of Miles Davis.

Indulge freely in your thirsty ear.

Is it bad I prefer their cover of Lark's Tongues In Aspic Part 2 to the original. I feel dirty just writing that...

I consider drone metal to be progressive...

The whole point is it doesn't matter what you listen to and unfortunately, this is a very immature thread.

But when the thread is for people under 18, I don't know what people expect...

I listen to Tool and Dream Theater sometimes

I just listened to a few off "Lateralus" today; gotta love The Grudge, with all those arpeggios and waves of heavy riff after heavy riff after heavy riff...and then Maynard's 30 second scream is incredible. The repeat of the "clutch it like a cornerstone" section is another of my favorite parts, very emotional and dramatic. The lyrical message is insightful and meaningful also, which is nice. I don't agree with all of Tool's lyrics but they hit the nail on the head here.

It's a pity I find their music so samey, because they really do some interesting stuff. Maybe if I listened more often and more closely I would see it differently.

I'm older than Grandpa Munster and only listen to prog from the mid 16th century. Hey there are clasical music prodigies who listen to nothing but classical styles. Anything else in anethma to them.

Wow ! a kid that actually listens to The Eleventh House. You should also get into some early Mahavishnu Orchestra and Tony William's Lifetime.

Thanks for recommendations, I have heard of them, I checked out a few songs today, liked it, looking forward to download whole discographies :)

It will! Us youngsters will bring chaos to ProgArchives for ever!

You want chaos? You couldn't handle the kind of chaos a 49 year old can create!
