Welcome robot! O no you're a automatic machine watch out a Virus of anti - prog! (don't be offended) Don't really agree with your taste but still your welcome lol... Here you'll find new bands, albums and girls! erm no... And if some time you get bored or with doubts of any band you like just make some good polls and have fun. Or go to Just for Fun thread...

Enjoy PA!

I joined this forum to meet some cool people and discover some new prog bands. So anyone have suggestions that I didn't list?


hahhah. .awesome.. you'll fit in here just great. I wouldn't worry about Tool...  it's another of your favorites that is under siege here by Pancho Villa and the Prog Purists.  If you see me flapping my gums about them... just disregard it... everyone else does.  The smart ones at least LOL

Welcome to the forum. A clappie for you for your wisdom

Howdy from Texas and welcome to the club.  If you like Portnoy don't miss his performances on Neal Morse's solo CDs.  His work on Sola Scriptura and One really show his versatility in particular and the albums really rock.  The Flower Kings would also interest you, I think.

haha, I think I'll keep the name but i don't expect many people to type out all 19 digits of it. Its good to hear my musical taste and knowledge of more progressive bands expands in these forums, that's what I was hoping would happen. I'll check out those bands you listed Atavachron.

Welcome to the forumSmile Nice to see someone with a bit of heavier music taste around here too. But of course, expect your musical taste to expand considerably here like mine has since I joined the forum.
