How old are Prog Archive members?

I'm 41.  Started as a  big Genesis fan. Bought  Genesis Live in 1976 when I was only 12.  I was influenced by my elder brother who went to the original Lamb Lies Down On Broadway concert in 74 (or 75). Listened to Yes, ELP, Camel. Later I started listening to krautrock, electronic music, classical music. But Prog is not my only cup of tea; in the ealy 80ties I also started to like Joy Division, some punk music etc. I was able to combine my love for early Genesis, the ultra solo's of Keith Emerson and the trance-like Tangerine Dream music with Sex Pistols, Neil Young, reggae etc. My biggest favourite was and still is Zappa.
Just recently I started looking for other prog music, using for example this site. I 'discovered' Gentle Giant, the Canterbury scene, and found a lot of other interesting music like The Flower Kings. I can still enjoy both hardcore punk and ten-minute Zappa solo's, stravinsky and Mahavisnu Orchestra, Some country and Bach.
In the end, there is only good music and bad music.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

30

28 and want to be young forever!

42 years old, into prog since about 1975-ish & still discovering new music, be it undiscovered (by me ) 1970s classics like Gentle Giant (cheers Peter), newer bands such as Flower Kings or Echolyn (cheers Danbo), bands I would never have thought about a couple of years ago. I also have the dubious honour of having introduced Opeth to this site back in Feb last year... Then you get into my more eclectic tastes, from Diamanda Galas to Diamond Head, from Mozart to Motorhead, from Bax to Black Crowes, King Oliver to King Crimson... you get the picture.

As my wife says, "music is food" or as Zappa said "music is the best"

I just entered my roaring forties. So it's 40.

I'm especially interested in '70's prog. There's lots of good '80's stuff too (neo-prog).

I do like newer bands, but they're mostly from the non-prog section. Artists like Air, Bjork, Los Lobos and Massive Attack. Eclectic, but not prog (though maybe some people would make an exception for Air).

im 16 and like everything except for neo-prog

I'm 41 years young,  but leach time I go to a Prog' concert I feel younger because the average age of the audience is way over 55.

I'm 18 years old. And I'm also interested in both old and new bands, as long as I can connect to the music (no, never try Shub Niggurath on me again!). Been proggin' since I was almost 12 and mainly listen to Marillion, Porcupine Tree and Anathema.

Lately, I listen to a lot of more progressive death and black metal albums and to a lot of music by Oceansize (hey, I'm going to their gig in 2 weeks time).

As you might notice, I'm very unpredictable

19, with the mind of an adult (yeah, rrright), the soul of an old man, and the heart of a child!
