If you're younger than 18

I'm 28 and this thread makes me feel old. Always thought I was on the younger end of the prog appreciation spectrum. Good to see there is some new blood appreciating good music though!

Can we please have more music disappreciation threads around here?  
[sarcasm tag]

I turned 18 in December, 2011.

I can't stand progressive metal, In my opinion it's way too cheesy and sounds close to a failing power metal band.
70's prog is just way more alluring to me :)

17 here

Yes, at the risk of sounding like one of those incessant YouTube commenters, I am 13 & I'm a huge fan of Progressive, but I think Progressive metal makes me want to cut my wrists. King Crimson is probably my favorite band ever (save The Beatles), I've always been a huge fan of Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Genesis can do no wrong, Yes are OK, I'm liking them more and more, Gentle Giant are just awesome. I don't really consider Pink Floyd prog, but I do love them. Focus I have loved since I was 9, Frank Zappa is just indescribable, U.K. make my spine tingle (I might have a hand in there home-coming gig in Newcastle), Refugee are great. If you count them, Mahavishnu Orchestra are a favorite of mine, view them  as a Jazz Fusion group, but I suppose they are Prog-esque, same goes for Allan Holdsworth. There are probably others, but these are the ones I can think of at the minute. But I listen to more music other than Prog.

Why be a prematurely aged raisin when you can be a grape? A point well made but your cynicism smacks of substituting one form of elitism for another (Schadenfreude innit?)

So am I, but I can imagine it.
