THANKS FOR THAT MR SWORD!!


You're welcome dude.

I'm not a qualified doctor by the way, but I do have first hand experince of club culture. Probably best not to ask me for dancing lessons, but I do have a vast knowledge of how drugs interact with music. That was largely thanks to my prog 'problem'

Prog is a mental condition that makes you think in odd time signatures, and become very analytical of music. It's VERY un-contagious. Most people seem to be able to avoid the condition with little difficulty.

..and no, there is no cure. If you get it you're stuck with it for life, although you could expereince partial remmission, where your thoughts suddenly go into 4/4 again, and you end up in clubs dancing like a huge c*ck to House music.

A freind leant me Exit Stage Left by Rush in 1983, insisting that I listen to something other than mega heavy metal.

Thanks 'friend' wherever you are. Things got much better for me after hearing that album!

At school from say, 1971 onwards. I had one friend who pushed Floyd onto me. Then, a couple of years later, a persuasive KC fan. Finally, later 70s, another friend who, along with his father, was heavily into jazz & introduced me to Return to Forever.

I'm sure it's pure luck, who your influences are, and being in a certain place at a certain time........

Yeah wierd really. I liked the feeling that I experienced while hearing DT and prog in general also carries it so that's part of why I like this genre.

My personal decision to buy the Pink Floyd "Echoes" compilation, and look where I am now, pretty amazing in a relatively short amount of time (4 years or so).

My dad was watching the YesSymphonic DVD like 3 years ago and the "Wurm" portion of "Starship Trooper" was playing and I loved it.

heard a 4 song block of Rush songs on the radio, loved them all, bought their Spirit of the Radio compilation, bought all of their albums, began searching for anything remotely similar, found prog.

Actually, I remember my Dad had some random compilation of songs for Atlantic records anniversary (maybe their 20th or something), and "Heart of the Sunrise" was on it.  Needless to say, that set me on the Yes path.  I actually bought 2112 in K-mart or somewhere random because the cover looked cool, and the Rush addiction soon set in.

My friend when he let me borrow a mix of Dream Theater songs when we went up a little mountain to listen to music and to smoke some weed...  I listened to Metropolis pt 1: the miracle and the sleeper  when I was "under the influence" and it blew my mind away. So I went a got all of the DT albums to experience again those feelings without the drug and then I discovered Progarchives and prog along with it.

So I can say that weed actually maked me like prog Confused
