I was writing reviews in "Rate Your Music", so a few days later Ronnie first and M@X a bi later contacted me and invited me to the site, I believe I joined a month after PA was created.
Before this I used to visit many sites, after I joined PA, my compromise was almost exclusive. Iván

I was reading "Progression Magazine" and somebody mentioned this site. The rest is history, and an excellent one.

For me it was also Google. I think as soon as I got into Prog music, I found this site.
I got my first Prog recommendations from the great moderators.

Well, in 2006 I remember that I was searching for some info related to Savatage. In the first place I didn't realize what kind of site it is. But very fast it became one of my top 5 from the entire Internet(beside wikipedia and a few others).
Thanks to PA I've learned a lot about progressive rock and I'm grateful for this. The last almost 5 years were a beautiful journey in to this unknown realm. Hopefully this will continue in the years to come. |

Heard some flamenco Prog in a tapas bar in Winsor (in the old railway station just by the castle) - I asked the staff who it was, they said it was Triana and this was the only site that had any info on them.

Also The Mighty Google - thanks to a few folk posting some nice things about Citizen Cain, a (very obscure) band I was part of back in 1993/4.
I was trying to find out what had become of the other guys in the last 15 years or so, and up popped ProgArchives... Cheers! Andy p.s. Still making noises, a bit "ECM jazz" with some odd-bass-noises-looping, but not what ye'd strictly call "prog"... :-) http://www.andygilmour.com |

I think I was looking for a discography of someone. Then I saw the Prog Radio links and used that for a while. Then I started to read the forum. The next step is obvious.

I was trying to look up something musical (I don't remember what it was) and it came up in Google. Go to Google and type in Brian S. Lindsey and see what comes up.
 By the way, all the others are inauthentic.  |
