I was searching for digital radio station shows that played progressive rock and asked for suggestions (in 2009). The first was from oliverstoned, followed by threefates and Dick Heath.

Out of curiosity, I searched for Gentle Giant reviews, to see everyone's opinion on this group.
And I found this site, and I joined the forums yesterday.

I wanted to see what the top 50 rated progressive rock albums were. Lo and behold I found more than I could have possibly bargained for.

I often found ProgArchives threads when researching bands that I like. I finally signed up because I want to participate in the conversations. I am eager to discover new music, especially when it is groundbreaking.

other similar sites at the time like prog freaks, prog toes and one
called proglands which I think morphed into progarchives but it might
have been different. I'm not sure. It was similar nonetheless. All those sites bit the

Ah. I guess you could say you've been a traveler, my friend. Well, I am glad you are here.

I think I was searching for info on a band or review of an album that
brought me here. I didn't join right away, but I kept coming back to
this site because of the in depth reviews. Finally I decided to join.

I wanted to check the Metal-Archives, but I typed prog instead.

I've created an atmosphere where I'm friend first, boss second. Probably entertainer third.

I discovered the site in 2008, but can't remember exactly how. Might have been someone else mentioning it on the Metal-Archives forums, but I'm not 100% certain.

It all started when I saw these strange markings on the wall of an old ice cream shop. They were in a language I didn't understand. A homeless man approached me an said "Go to the field of dreams." After some thought, I assumed he meant Morpheus Field, 60 miles outside of town. I got into my car with my friend Pedro at the wheel. "Where's my ice cream?" he said. "Drive," I replied. And so he did. We drove for an hour until we reached our destination. The field was silent and still. Nothing seemed to be happening. Suddenly, I just had this compulsion to draw the markings I saw on the ground. After scratching my head to remember them, I finally did. Soon after, the ground started to glow and a crack appeared in the middle of a field. "Whoa! What's happening?" shouted Pedro. The crack got bigger and the ground started to bulge. Then, rising up out of the dirt, was a gigantic automaton. The giant bent down and looked at us. "Fred's Ice Cream," it said, "it's good." "What?!" said Pedro. "Cool," I said.
Then I googled "Yes album reviews."

When I first discovered bands like Rush, Dream Theater, and Kansas in 2010, my dad introduced me to this website as a way for me to discover other bands that were "prog." I didn't even really know what that word meant at the time; all I knew was that I liked the music. I was instantly hooked on this website.
If it wasn't for ProgArchives, I probably wouldn't know about incredible bands like Echolyn, Pain of Salvation, or The Flower Kings. Every day I'm introduced to new music that usually sticks with me for a long time. Thanks for creating my new favorite website!
