I am a member of Metal Archives.  I was listening to some Dream Theater one day and asked myself, "I wonder if there is a Progressive Rock Archives?"  I am here now.

I wanted to know about some DVDs I was interested in, and I googled their titles plus "tracklist". The first result on Google was always their album page on PA. I found the reviews helpful and I started using the site. Then at some point I noticed there was a forum.

And yes, this thread has been done, but a LONG time ago.

James Randi is the best! I met him once!

My story is not that interesting.... as most of us I just googled something about prog and it appeared... at the beginning I didn't pay much attention to the site but after it appeared a thousand times I had to check it out!.... and the rest is history....

I was a huge fan of prog. Still am. Love(d) everything about it. At the time I was getting into Deep Purple. For some reason i googled "top en deep purple tracks". Found the first link to be to a thread on here with the same title. saw users with fantastical avatars, and discussing my favorite music.

Note: this was much earlier then when i registered.

I don't quite remember even though I haven't even been around here for 2 years.  It might have been through another message board that I used to post on (talkbass.com) or the ever-popular Google response.

I don't remember exactly, but probably by typing "prog rock" or somesuch into Google.  It tends to be at or near the top of any results for "prog".
